Hello!
So I have a problem that's developed recently with my computer. I tried to start it today and it wouldn't start. I did a bit of troubleshooting and found that it does start if I disconnect the power supply from the GPU.
Oddly, what seems to happen is that when the GPU is plugged in to the PSU and I try to start the PC, some of the case fans start for a half turn and stop. When I unplug the GPU it still doesn't work, but when I toggle the on/off switch on the PSU and try again with the GPU unplugged, the PC starts.
I guess my question is, is it the GPU that is failed or the PSU? Are there any ways of checking other than plugging the GPU to a different computer to check it?
Specs are:
PSU: Corsair CXM 750W, Graphics: MSI GTX 970, CPU: i7-4770, MB: Asus Z87-PRO.
Not a new build, everything has work great till now. I was half expecting some part to fall over, but I would sort of like to make an informed decision about what to repalce.
