My PSU or my GPU is dying. I need help to decide which one.
The specs are:
i5-3570K
Msi Z77A-G45
Radeon 7870
Corsair XMS 3 16 Gb.
OCZ Agility 3 120 Gb.
Seagate Barracuda 1 Tb.
Antec TruePower 750 Watts
My computer randomly shut off and when I pressed the power button, it wouldn't turn on. I then continued to remove a component until it turned on. I found out that if I removed my Radeon 7870 , the power supply was willing to cooperate and actually turned on. Currently, I am running on integrated graphics and need to get my whole build back together.
If anyone could help out in deciding which one is the source of the problem, I would be very thankful.
If it does end up being a PSU problem, I would like to have some recommendations on which power supplies are good. This is my 3rd failed Antec and would like it from a different brand. Preferrably Seasonic or Corsair.
