Ok so ive been using my graphics card for 1 month and after l
Playing a game my pc turned off by itself. I opened up my case and made sure everything was plugged in fine. After that i pressed the power and all my fans(including the gpu) spun for one second. Then i took out my gpu and then pressed power button and it worked fine. I took everything out of my case and then plugged everything in again making sure everything was correctly plugged(this time with the gpu in) and the fans still spun for 1 second. How can i get my pc working again how it was before. My psu is the evga 600watt bronze 80 plus. My gpu is the sapphire r9 270x dualx.

Thanks :)

can be two issues. one the gpu over heated and failed...the other a part failed in the power supply and it cant output the right voltage on the 12v rail. put the gpu in another pc if you can see if the error still there or try another gpu in your pc. if the same error happens with a new gpu then it a bad power supply.
So you press the on button, and the fans turn on for one second, then turn off? This happened to me when I forgot to plug in the Power for my CPU. You sure the CPU slot on your Motherboard is plugged in with the cord from the PSU?

if it spins for one second does it mean its overheated?
