I bought a used r9 290 pcs+ about 4 months ago. It was working fine till last week.
Then last week when i was playing and my computer turn off, i tried to turn it on again but only the the fan of the psu moved for a sec and then stopped. I spent alot of time to figure out it was the Card causing the fault.
What I believe is the Card's circuit is shorted somewhere so when I tried to turn on the PC, some "auto-protect-from-short-circuit" feature (from the PSU I believe) didn't let it run.
Later I disassembled the Card's heatsink so see if there was some surprise inside but there was none.
Then I tried to test for the short using a cheap multimeter and I found a MOSFET who didn't give any number in the multimeter in the two pictured points always its 1 (thats mean there isn't a circuit found i think?) and give 001 in the circle point. (it found a circuit)
so my question its, is the MOSFET bad? or i have to keep looking?
