Dying GPU's

SHARUNAS · Dec 2, 2016

Hi,

I've got a serious problem. As you can see from the topic, I keep changing GPU's like socks. Everything started after I had taken my monitor for repairs (backlight failure). First thing I tried to do was to buy a new PSU but that did not help. Now I am thinking of changing the MB. Should I consider swapping my LCD to a new one as well? Is there a way for a monitor to damage GPU to be more exact? Thanks.

i cant imagine a display could damage a GPU......unless electricity was to somehow travel down the display cable.

No, something else is going on. Is it the specs in your profile ? and where you live

What PSU did you buy? Do you have anything overclocked

No overclocking. All specs in profile.

And what area of the world do you live? Do you have clean power and a Surge Arrest

Surge Protector, protects against electrical power surges. Do you have electrical problems with other stuff?

Does your house have a descent ground

what is it that keeps happening? meaning what is it that happens to the GPU's?

maybe if we knew what sounds, smells, physical reactions are occuring, it would be easier to know what is happening.

Thats possible with hdmi ports not being grounded properly.

Id swap the board and monitor, id try the monitor on a cheap machine
