Hello everyone.
First of all, sorry for my English. I speak Spanish mainly.
A little info:
The entire PC has 2 years aprox.
GPU x2: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1080-GAMING-X-8G.html (NO OC)
Both cards have approximately (1 year and a half --> 2 years of use).
PSU: http://www2.seasonic.com/product/x-850/
MB: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/X99A-GODLIKE-GAMING-CARBON.html
CPU: https://ark.intel.com/products/82931/Intel-Core-i7-5930K-Processor-15M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz (Running at 4.0 ghz since 2 years)
Yesterday I was playing, then turn off the PC. The next morning I turned on the PC and I'm almost 100% I saw a small spark on the back of the top video card. The pc simply did not turn on.
Then I tried removing and putting components to go testing one by one.
In the end I realized that the PC does not turn on only when the affected card is connected. Then I put the second video card in the first PCI Express, removed the affected card and the PC works perfectly.
My question is:
1 - What kind of damage in the video card can prevent the PC from turning on? I always thought that a bad video card would not show video when the PC was turned on.
2 - I remember that yesterday I changed the configuration of energy in Windows 10 (1803), from Balanced to maximum performance. Could this cause the problem? Or was it simply bad luck?
3 - Considering that I saw a spark on the back of the video card. Could the cable/wire display port cause the problem?
4 - I read something about the PSU. They said that if the card was short circuited / dead short or something like that the PC would not fire because the PSU prevented this from happening due to the protection methods it brings.
I just want to make sure it was bad luck and not something I did. Basically to not kill the second card.
Greetings and thanks in advance.
