Hello,
this morning my PC shut down with a strange crackling noise while gaming.
It also tried to restart itself but shut down again immediately after, before I could finally pull the plug.
When I opened the case, I could smell burnt coming from the GPU and (possibly?) the CPU.
I removed the GPU, connected the monitor to my MB and tried restarting only with MB, CPU and RAM in the system, but there was no BIOS and nothing would come up on screen even if the PC powered up and the fans were spinning.
So I decided to come to ask here for help before trying anything else.
What are the best steps to follow to check if something is broken?
Did my GPU get actually fried there?
Thanks for the help.
System info below:
CPU: Intel i7-4770k
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 780 GHZ ed.
MB: Asus Z87-A
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB 1600 Mhz
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250Gb
PSU: SeaSonic M12II EVO 750W
SC: Asus Strix Raid DLX
