So one day i came home and tried to turn on my pc, the light barely came on and didnt turn on. i figured it was the mother board since the lights on the board was on but nothing would power. i decided to unplug the 2 6pin cables on my GPU and left it plugged into the PCI port. i tried and the PC powered on. well while i was watching it come on i looked at the gpu and seen it glowing in the card then seen and smelt smoke. i powered off the PC plugged power back in and tried again, would power on. i also tried the other PCI slot and nothing. When i unplugged it one last time it came on for a min the pc reset itself and flickered again a little bit after. the pc is still running fine without the gpu plugged in
I think can get a replacement GPU since it under warranty, but now im worried that what caused it to burn up the motherboard or PSU. the board and the cpu is old but i dont think that can affect it?
Specs:
Evga 1070 ftw
OCZ 750w
Asus P8Z68-v pro
intel i7 2600k
