Hey, so the other day my PC suddenly shut down and there was a burning smell and I couldn't turn it on. The PSU was working just fine when I shorted it to test it. I tried booting my PC without the GPU and it turns on for 2 to 3 seconds then turns off. There is no beep to indicate a boot.
I tried placing my GPU in another PC and booting and there was a loud noise followed by a blown fuse on the PSU plug (the wall plug) so I am pretty sure my GPU fried. The question is if it affected the motherboard too. I thoroughly checked over it and there doesn't seem to be any broken sokders or blown parts.
Finally, one of my fans that is connected in the bottom part of my motherboard, near where the Front Panel is, spins A LOT slower than the other fan which is plugged near the top part of the motherboard. When I switch their plugs, the one in the bottom plug always spins slower.
My question is, do you think the problem is in my motherboard for the constant turning on and off?
Things I have tried:
- Taking out the motherboard battery.
- Changing RAM slots.
SPECS:
CPU - Intel i7 6700k
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-z170-Gaming K3
GPU - GTX 9i80 Ti G1 Gaming
PSU - Corsair CX 750W
