I'm curious, why did my lga 775 motherboard catch fire or there was a short circuit when I installed the MSI GTX 970?
spec :
CPU : Pentium Dual Core E6600
GPU : MSI Tiger Nvidia GTX 970
Motherboard : ECS G41T-R43
DDR3 : 4GB
HDD : 256GB
PSU : Seasonic 620 watt pure 80+
this happened twice on two different motherboards but using the same series ( ECS G41T-R43 ).
so I've damaged the motherboard twice .
after the two motherboards burned in a certain part of the capacitor. I'm still curious and I tried a third time. But this time using a different brand, namely DG41WV Intel lga775. I installed my MSI gtx 970 on this motherboard and it works fine.
I'm still curious as to why this could happen. Even though I've used a good PSU (Seasonic). Can someone explain technically why only the ECS motherboard can catch fire when paired with a gtx 970?
