After installing a new GPU, my NZXT Krarken X61 has been making this weird rattling noise and then after about 20 seconds my PC shuts off. This first happened while I was using the new GPU (Asus 1060 Strix), and it continues happening while I try it with my old GTX 750. Sometimes the pc will display something, sometimes it won't, but it doesn't matter because I can only use the pc for 20 seconds until it shuts down. I want to know if there is a way to fix this rather than the simple submit an RMA answer. I have a lot of work to do on my pc and can't necessarily wait several days and maybe weeks to get a replacement. I will try to post a video to give you a better understanding of what happens. Thanks.

That could have caused it, but it wouldn't really be your fault as the cooler should be able to be re oriented even after operating in the same position for a while.
Alright I'll try my stock cooler (I hate the stock amd cooler lol). It might be worth noting that I did tip the case on its front side while installing the gpu. Could that have triggered something?

That's definitely what caused it. I just fixed it and have everything running now. Thanks for your help. That is pretty weird that that caused it though. If it ever happens again and I can't fix it I'll RMA it. Always happens in the least convinient situations.
