Hello!
I have an ASUS Maximums 9 hero Motherboard, an EVGA SUPERNOVA G2 gold 850 psu and HAD a GTX 970 until that died.
One day in the middle of a game, my computer shut off and would not come back on (though it sounded like the PSU would 'click' once when I tried) until I removed the GPU. I did try the other PCIe slots with the card. That card also literally caught on fire a bit.
So, I did that and the computer works perfectly fine with out it.
I RMAed the 970 with EVGA and the card worked for a day, then stopped again with the same issue.
To me, it seems like an issue with the PSU, but a 'friend' mentioned it could be the MoBo is bad or possibly making it short out or killing them in some way.
My original plan was just to replace the PSU and get a newer card like a 1070 but now I'm worried that the 1070 will die because it's the MoBo.
I'm just worrying what might actually be the culprit. My gut says PSU is problem but I would really appreciate some more insight.
