Question I think i shocked my Gpu

[Diego12345]

I Noticed a black sticker thing on one of the screws on my gpu, decided to touch it and i felt a little shock, there was no visible zap or discharge, just a little shock u would get from touching a door handle. I then went to touch it again and it shocked me again. No where else on the card does this happen as i touched all over it. It just shocks me when i touch that black sticker. Can someone please tell me if i fried my card or something as i am losing sleep because of this!!!! Just some context i was grounded as i touched my case every min or so, and the card was a rtx 2070.

honestly without hitting the power button to see if it still works you won't ever know. only one way to find out..

So what would be an obvious sign that i fried it? like it wont turn on or what should i watch for?

There are three "signs" to look for:

• crashes: something got damaged and now the card is encountering errors where didn't before
• computer won't boot anymore: enough damage to cause the card to fail to initialize during boot and make the computer shut down after a few seconds
• smoke/fire: the static discharge caused an IO to develop a short from power to ground, dissipating enough heat to turn itself into magic smoke
