Hi guys

So I've just made a new PC everything was working fine until last night when It just turnt off completely while playing a game. I thought it was the PSU so went and got another one today but now I don't think it is. Due to the fact it starts up fine without the graphics card plugged in and I'm using on board.

As soon as I plug the PCI connectors into the graphics card sockets and try to turn it on. Absolutely nothing. Do you think my graphics card might of fried last night hench it not working at all when it's plugged in.

Set up is
i5 7600k (not overclocked yet)
ROG Strix Z270H
GTX 970
Corsair vengeance 3000mhz ddr4
Corsair 650w

Thanks for any help

This is the problems with cheap PSU, if anything happen they have a risk of frying other components in your computer and even a risk of burning down your house. I hope that you bought a better quality PSU for your new one. In the end my best bet is that your GPU is broken.

Unfortunately I don't as I got rid of my old one. It was a VS550 which I heard isn't good at all really.
