Hi, so it seems that my R9 390 just died, since no fans run nor does the light turn on when I turn on my computer.
The thing that bothers me however is that it killed my whole computer, and I find it weird that the GPU dying would result in the entire computer shutting off as well.
Is that a "normal death"?
The computer starts up again fine, but I have no idea if it's posting since the screen has no signal.
TL;DR - Is it normal for the entire computer to die when the GPU dies? Or did an unstable PSU cause the GPU's death?
I just want to be sure that buying a new GPU is enough, or if my PSU is faulty as well.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 w/ Wraith cooler
SAPPHIRE R9 390 (R.I.P)
G.Skill Ripjaws V-3200 8gbx2 @ 3000Mhz
CoolerMaster G750M 750W PSU
MSI B350 GAMING PRO CARBON
Thanks in advance!
