hello ,
i have gigabyte g41 motherboard , power supply hec cougar 750 wt
i had ati gigabyte 7750 , and was working very good , then due to my work i had to work 30 days on , 30 days off , so i used to leave my pc off and unplugged for one month and on for one month
one day i came from work , plugged my pc , and guess what it is not working
i kept tracking the problem till i found it is problem with my graphics card
i removed it and purchased ati gigabyte 7770 card , once installed worked very good
again i travel for work , come back , plug my pc , turn on , same scenario
i troubleshooted the problem , tried many things , then finally removed the card , and pc worked good with internal vga , reinstall the card , turn on again , and then i smell burning smell from my card , i turned off and remove it , pc working good with internal vga
and in my country , warranty is nothing if a few days pass after purchasing the item
that means i have to buy a third one , i am so sad and angry but want to find out what causes this problem , as before my work i used to keep my pc on for days and days without shut down and was working very nice
now every time i leave it long time , some component is dead
NOTE : A year ago happened the same scenario and the motherboard was dead once i arrived from work , and i also had to change , but all other components were ok
please advice and help me
