Hey, so i have PC with Seasonic GX-550 PSU and Gigabyte RX 580 GPU, which has 8 pin connector. Somehow i think the GPU died, because the PC won't turn on if the GPU is installed, while it will turn on without any problem if the GPU is taken off and using the iGPU.
Well, in one of my stupid attempt to check the GPU, i only plug 6 of the 6+2 pin cable to the GPU. Then when i want to switch the PSU on (using the power switch on the PSU), it suddenly makes audible crackling sound. Immediately i switch the PSU off again. Please note that when the whole 8 pin of the 6+2 pin is inserted, the PC won't turn on but no crackling noise.
After that attempt, i just give up and take off the GPU and using the iGPU for the time being. So far there is no problem at all. But i just want some assurance, is my PSU fine? Thanks
