Hello guys. I seem to have run into a bit of a problem. I just bought a MSI Geforce GTX 750 gaming 1gb. I installed it successfully and it worked perfectly fine for 1 hour and then bamm in the middle of nowhere it simply shutdown. The computer became completely unresponsive when I attempted to press the power up button. Completely nothing happens. No beeps, no sounds nothing.
I made a few tests and attempted to start up with an empty PCI-E slot, with my old GT 630. All were successful, but once I re-inserted the GTX 750....dead silence again.
Also my PSU is a xilence 550W. But it has me wondering that, the PSU has some "years" under its belt. One of the oldest parts I got(approx 5-7 years). So is possible that my PSU well...succumbed to old age? But it still can start up my computer without the GTX 750 fine.
In that 1 hour, I managed to install the correct drivers, temperature software(the temps were fine so I can rule out that I burnt my GPU), played a few games, but just to "meet and greet" to see what changed, everything went fine there as well. I didnt do any over-clocking or testing my GPU's limits.
Can anybody shed light to my situation? Am I really that unlucky to have bought a defective graphic card?
