[SOLVED] Do graphics cards suddenly die?

[LittleBoy393]

I was playing video games for about 3 hours yesterday when out of no where my monitor screen goes black. I did a hard reset (held down the power button) to try to restart my computer when nothing happened, no lights, no fans spinning, nothing. Luckily I still had my old gaming desktop to swap/test parts and came to the conclusion that my problem is with my graphics card (GTX 1080ti). I did throw the card into my old system and experienced the same problem where the system doesn't turn on.

I was under the impression that a dying GPU will give signs like artifacting or generally being unstable. which I experienced none of. Did my card just randomly die or is there something else I can try that I'm not thinking of?

GPUs can suddenly die. This is more frequent if you happen to be using a junk PSU (you didn't provide any details).

Are Corsair SF750 PSU's junk? You are right I should have added the system details

They are not junk PSUs. However, GPUs can still die suddenly; it's just most common with bad PSUs. The few GPUs I've had over the decades that died suddenly *all* were connected to quality PSUs (because I only use quality PSUs). At least two (a 7970 GHz edition and a GTX 480) died without any artifacting preceding their deaths.
