PC turned off all of sudden with a strange sound

[mohammed.nihal7]

PC turned off all of sudden with random pixel bug and I tried removing GPU RAM and cleaned it then re installed it and it finally turned on but have a look at this, what might be the problem here? Is my GPU? I tried installing only 1 ram and display came up to life but then started showing up someweird things on screen. Thank you for your help.

Your GPU is dying. Those are artifacts caused by a failing GPU. I'm sorry for your loss.

Also: If you turn the resolution down and underclock/undervolt it you might be able to get some more life from it.

psu make and model?

 

[mohammed.nihal7]

Am using EVGA GTX 1060, EVGA 500w psu. I have 2 rams of Samsung, (One made in Philipines and One Made in Chjna) i installed both ram and the display wont come on, I install Made in Philipines ram as single and no result, i install the other one and displau comes on but with these pixle thing. Is it really my GPU?

 

[mohammed.nihal7]

The GPU is only 6 months old. :| ive used the PC with setup and had no problems until today, I reinstalled my windows and this started happening.

Try plugging your computer directly into the monitor via the motherboard. Then you can tell if its your GPU or not. But the PSU is a likely answer as well. Your RAM configuration seems questionable though.

I tried plugging via motherboard (VGA port) and no results, black screen, even the keyboard lights wont work when I press numlock etc. Ive used this exact setup for over 4 months, however this started happening since today after i reinstalled my windows. I used to get a frozen screen all.of sudden then the pc starts working again, today it frozee with a beep voice and the display went off

The window logo and bios settings was fresh and did not have that weird thing then after few mins it showed up slightly.

Try switching between your RAM sticks in each port. Try each configuration until you find something that works. If you don't find something that works, you might need new RAM. Again, I wouldn't rule out the PSU but I've never had a computer artifact from a PSU.

 

[mohammed.nihal7]

I tried switching RAMs, dual (does not work) and single (One of them works) but only one of them pulls up the display but with this weird thing. So could it be the RAM causing error?

 

[prince_xaine]

Yes it could be. Do a mem test on the stick that works.

Okay, somehow managed to make it run by connecting vga to motherboard and it runs! Am surprised that the EVGA GTX 1060 has only been like 6 7 months and stopped workijg? Could it be the HDMI port ruined? Is it worth a try connectijg it to DisplayPort? :/

 

[prince_xaine]

Did you ever overclock the 1060?

Is the Card new or did you buy it used?
If its new i would just send the Card back.

 

[mohammed.nihal7]

Thank you everyone for taking your time and replying! I somehow managed to get it work, the problem is with the GPU! I took it out and cleaned it, I've no idea how it had some watery substance on the inserting slot area. However the first try did not get it working, I had to slightly push the GPU forward and bam the screen is on without any artifacts. I hope this problem does not come back. Could it be my case or the GPU is at risk because of the slight water on the slot area? I cleaned it thoroughly.

I used my PC without any problem at all for 4 5 hrs (not continuously ,mostly kept on idle) and then all of sudden it started happening again. Could be my GPU or the PCE-I socket? :/

 

[cookiemania66]

Do you have any other GPU to hand? Or maybe a friend that could borrow you a gpu for a day?

I would say it is the gpu but try a second gpu just to make sure

 

[mohammed.nihal7]

Tried a second GPU. GT 730 and it works fine. :/ however the gpu does not have the PSU pce connector on the gpu so is it still my GTX 1060 error orr? :/

If the 730 runs without any problems or whatsoever then i would return the gtx 1060...
Not sure if you told us: What is your PSU?
