I was playing PU's Battlegrounds when my whole setup went black. My PC was completely shut off. It wouldn't turn on until I unplugged my GPU. What should I do. I have had this setup for like 2 years. Is it RIP boys.

I am coming from the thread about how my pc shut off and wouldn't turn back on with the gpu plugged in. Here is my response to your reply:

I'm testing it with another gpu but now the system turns on fans spin up but no image is displayed on the screen. Also my keyboard won't light up. I don't have another psu to test though. Also I don't know what igp is...



The igp is the integrated graphics chip build into the cpu. Take the gtx 970 out and use the motherboard video output to see if that gives an image.

It works with just the CPU in no GPU at all. So yes it works on the IGP. I tried with my 970 and a gtx 645. Didn't work on either. I also tried using a different PCIe slot and it still wouldn't boot.
