Hello!
So I have a problem with my PC that I built around a half year ago.
--> This is it (the most important parts) <--
I know its not an ultimate gamer PC but it fits for my needs.
So last week i was just playing my game when suddenly I smelled something bad, I searched it's source and I found out that is coming from my PC alongside with a little smoke. But the game didn't start to lag or crash, everything was just fine. I didnt turn it off immedietly, because it's an online game so I wasn't able to shutdown. And the smell and it's friend, the smoke were gone, so I didnt think that it will be a mistake if I dont turn it off. It may was a mistake (I'm not sure)
After the game, I turned it off, for that night. In the next day I turned it on like nothing's happened, but it didnt want to turn on my screen. I opened the PC and everything seemd nice, but it didnt want to use my graphics card. My motherboard doesnt have an output slot for screens, so I need my graphics card to see anyhthing.
When I turn it on the graphics card's fan doesnt even working, and the card doesnt get hotter. It seems like the connection between my motherboard and graphics card's gone. I tried to put it into the other slot of the motherboard, but nothing's changes. I carried my grapics to a friend ant tried it out there. And what a surprise, .. It worked the way it supposed to. So, my graphics didnt burnt out, thats awesome, I said to myself. But my motherboard still doesnt want to recognize it. I mean I don't know if it's recognized or not, but the fan doesnt spinning, unlike in my friend's PC. Everything else, I mean, the processor's and the power supply's fan is working well, But I can't know that they work, because I cant connect a screen to check it.
Do you know what can be the problem? I'm not very good at hardware-stuff, but im pretty sure, there's no problem with my graphics card itself.
In my opinion, it must be the motherboard.
I can give more detailed informations about my setup, and pictures from my hardware.
Help me out Please,
PS.: It didnt smoke or smelled bad since that. But of course Im not using it at all..
