So i was mining with my p106-100 and the usb riser I was using shorted now the card isn't detected at all. The weird thing is that usually when a card isn't working anymore(at least in my experience) the card will not heat up at all. This card is still getting hot, all parts of it from the die to the memory to the vrm. there are no craters, and no "I'm broken" smell.
