Question Problem with GPU

[defonotkailen]

I wanted to test out a GTX 1070 I found out on the street. I take out my old RX 570 and put the 1070 inside the computer, I test it, no display but that is because i didn’t download the drivers. I put the 570 back into the computer, turn it on, no display. I take it back out and put it back in again and it spins to life and i get a display.

Later on while I am running some games on the system to make sure it’s all good, I hover my hand over the gpu and it is extremely hot. Once i do that, the pc crashes.

if you actually found it out on the street there's likely a good reason it was there.

and drivers aren't necessary just to get a display.
Windows comes with basic graphics drivers so that you can build a system.

What do you think went wrong with when i put it back in?

it's possible that a malfunctioned card could damage the PCIe slot.
rare occurrence but not unheard of.

i would first try running DDU in Windows Safe Mode and remove all graphics related data.
then reinstall the latest driver package for your card.

Could be repairable as the PCIe slot could have a fuse that now needs replaced.
