System basic gaming comp: 550W PSU i5 3rd gen CPU 1155 mobo ASUS, 2x4 GB ddr3. GPU: GTX 660ti.
Well it was very lame of me I tried to clean the dust while the PC is turned on. The metal end of the hoover touched the CPU cooler which caused sudden reset of the computer after the reset the GTX 660ti does not work. Its fans run at max speed all the time and it gives no output to monitor. The fans keep spinning at max even if I don't connect the power cables to the GPU from PSU. A friend said it is static electricity damage.
Onboard graphics is working so I removed the card. What part of the PC is most probably damaged I want to learn that. Maybe it is the PSU which can't give enough power from the 2 cables I used to connect to the GPU or maybe it is the motberboard ? I tried BIOS resets and no luck so far.
PSU
GPU
or Motherboard ?
