[SOLVED] Problems with my new graphics card

[SNESLink]

I bought a EVGA gtx 1060 6gb card i know it’s an average card but anyways let’s get to the topic at hand I bought it two weeks ago off of EVGA during midweek madness i got it last week and I’ve been using it for the last week it’s been running perfectly, been playing battlefield v as well as the new Star Wars game on high. Today I was playing fifa 20, a game that isn’t very demanding, I’ve played on it more often than the other games throughout the week, and my pc just turned off during the middle of a game. I tried to turn my pc back on and it would turn on but the graphics card wouldn’t light up and the display wouldn’t show either so I tried to restart my computer no change, eventually I changed my hdmi cable to the motherboard connector instead of the 1060’s and everything worked fine. I’m pretty new to PC stuff this is my first build actually that I had started during the summer that I’m finally getting to finish, so what happened to my graphics card and how can I fix it or what’s wrong with it I suppose.

What's the model number of your motherboard?
Have you rechecked the power connection to the graphics card to make sure it's secure?

I’ll do that again when I get back home and see whether or not it’s secure I’m at school rn but yeah I’ll update y’all on that

I would also try and remove your 1060 and boot with just your 2200G, if your computer boots then your GPU is faulty.

I did try that so I’m guessing my gpu is faulty I’m going to have to contact EVGA

That or your PSU is failing to support it. As the EVGA white is a trash PSU unfortunately.
Wouldn't recommend it in a good gaming system.
