Hello everyone. I tested playing FarCry and suddenly my PC shuts off and won't turn on. I tried to turn it on but it will power up like half a second only. I removed my GPU (GTX 780) from my PC is working fine now. Does that mean my GPU is dead? I'm going to try my GPU on my friend's computer but I have to wait like a week because of this pandemic problem.


here's my specs:

Ryzen 3 2200g
Asus Ex-A320m
2x8 Corsair 3000mhz
CV450
GTX780
Sandisk SSD

Might just be your psu that has given up since the 780 on its own pulls around 300-350W under load.

You have a low quality 450w psu running a gpu that recommend 600-650w but would run on a high quality 550w. Get a high quality 550w or greater before you kill your pc with a psu failure.
Is seasonic focus gold GM-550 will be enough? For unknown reasons psu are hard to find in my area.
