Hi all
Bought a second hand pc for a decent price.
Specs:
CPU: i7 6700
MOBO: Asus z170 Pro Gaming
RAM: 16GB HyperX Savage 2133hz
PSU: OCZ ZT 650
I put in my old GPU: GTX 560 to tie me over until I picked up something new (installing new drivers of course).
When it first went in there seemed to be no problem. I installed steam and left it overnight to download part of the games library to test the following day.
When I loaded CSGO it something happened (was a little while ago now). When I reloaded there was a considerable amount of artifacting and it the CPU reset a couple of times too before I gave up.
I removed the card - tried it in my old AMD pc rig and I had the same artifacting - so I figured I've killed the card.
My concern is - did my NEW pc kill my old GPU? If yes - what is the most likely culprit?
The mobo tracks the PSU voltage and it is sitting at 12.192V which I believe is ok. I put the old GPU back in last night to see if I saw a difference in the voltage with it in but I didn't - I suppose I need to see it under load?
Any comments would be much appreciated. I don't want to buy a new GPU only to kill it and have to deal with returns.
I now live in Poland and customer service here is a completely foreign concept.
Thanks all!
