Thanks for reading this far. I'll start from the top. Last Thursday I completed a huge windows update, seems like so much is different now, and everything seemed fine. No issues with gaming, audio production, watching youtube etc
On Saturday night everything was still fine and used the pc all night to watch music videos while I hung out with friends. Sunday afternoon I decided I wanted to hop on the computer and when I hit the power button it would not turn on.
-Checked surge protected power bar fine
-Switched off the PSU flipped on tried again, nothing
-noticed there was a millisecond of power, fans twitched, gpu light flicked and then nothing
-Moved pc to another outlet, same thing, a flick of power and nothing
-At this point, I think PSU is failing not putting out enough juice
-Remove my GPU, hit the power button and were in business powers on
-Reinsert GPU nothing
-Try Other PCIe ports with GPU none of them work
-In original PCIe port, GPU in with the 8 and 6 pin not connect, PC boots video card lights up and fans spin.
-My buddy tries the 1080 in his rig and it won't boot, well must be the GPU, hooray warranty...
-Boot the PC using on board Display port something feels weird,
-Sometimes the video output will stop, the pc still on but nothing to the display
-Requires to restart to get the video back
-I switch to the onboard HDMI
-CPU load is jumping from 10%- 20% with some spikes of 40%
-Kraken fan speed is at 100% but temps have gone as high as 75c??? Averaging 35c-45c
I know the GPU is busted, seems like a short, but not sure what caused it, and the rest of PC is running strangely, almost feels like a malware miner running in the background. Ran multiple virus scans, antimalware bytes, now running a full scan with Bit Defender, ran Spybot.
Really not sure what is going on or how to further troubleshoot. I would love some guidance on what I need to do. Maybe the MOBO is gone and it killed the 1080
Well looks like bitdefender found 0 threats on a FULL scan.
I feel like WINDOWS god damn update somehow fucked me.
I love you all and am willing to do the hard work on this.
