First time this happened while i was gaming the game froze and it seemed like the GPU driver crashed, after a couple of minutes my computer shutdown and when i tried to restart it only the case fans were spinning, the cpu fan wasn't.
I took out the 24 pin cable and i found that the ground wire on it is melted into the socket.
I took the PC to a computer shop near me, he cleaned the socket re attached the PSU and told me it should work fine now and that i should replace the PSU.
Next day i did buy a new PSU. Cooler master 750W 80+ bronze, to my surprise after a few hours of gaming the same thing happened again, the ground wire on the new PSU melted into the socket.
Now that i know it's not the PSU's fault what could be the cause of this ?
It has to be either the GPU or the motherboard.
I currently don't have access to another motherboard to test out the GPU on it.
So what do you think could be causing this ?
Note: i have been running the pc with the same config for 2 years. I only updated my gpu drivers 3 weeks ago.
My specs:
1st PSU: super flower 600W
2nd PSU: cooler master 750W 80+ bronze
Motherboard: gigabyte b250 gaming 3
CPU: core i5 7400
GPU: Amd rx 5700 phantom gaming D
HDD: 2 tb Western digital blue
