I built a PC roughly a year ago, no problems except common PC nuisances, except now I have experienced a problem. I started playing a game i have not touched in a while yesterday, only experienced lag after playing a couple hours. Today while playing CS:GO my game kept tabbing out and glitching, I thought it was due to me playing on 1600x1200 on a 1920x1080 monitor, after switching from 1024x768, it was not. My monitor crashed and I knew something was up, I restarted the PC and everything was fine until I go into game and my game kept tabbing out and repeating the last heard sound over and over. Finally my PC crashed then restarted on its own and my GPU's fans spun all the way up. The PC shut down again I restarted it and no picture displayed, I noticed the GPU and motherboard both lit up with a red light when booting up.
I then swapped the GPU with an older one and it worked fine, it booted me up in the BIOS and everything worked fine, I turned it off and now I am here.
GPU that crashed was a 970 Asus Strix
The older one was a 290x base model
I am just asking if the 970 died out or it is another part, also forgot to mention the PC took a little longer to boot up then usual when the 290x was in there.
