I played Fortnite earlier. I've only had that since yesterday, maybe it has something to do with the problem…
In any case, the PC suddenly went off. It couldn't be switched on again at first, only after I had switched the power off and on again at the power supply, something happened again when I pressed the power button.
I haven't had a picture since then. The fans on the graphics card don't do anything either. I once installed an old graphics card that I still had lying around, so the system worked. But this has no extra power supply (gets the power from the connection on the mainboard). Therefore I'm not entirely sure whether the problem is the graphics card itself or whether the power supply unit is damaged.
I had unlimited FPS in the game, so I wondered if the card was overheating and something broke in the process. However, I have never had problems with overheating, and since I haven't changed the fan settings, shouldn't the card actually slow down if it gets too hot?
I currently have no way of testing the card in another PC, so I hope someone can help me here… Does anyone have any idea how to get the card working again? And is a partial defect in the power supply unit (only the power supply for the graphics card) even possible? Thanks for any answer!
Briefly about the system: The Graka is an RX 570 from Sapphire, the mainboard is the B450M Pro-VDH MAX, the power supply Argus APS 620 watts (relatively cheap, but also not a Chinese guy).
Power supply overloaded and died I think - although I can't imagine that at 600w.
Although the rest of the PC is still working?
Well, the power supply unit may have several fuses for the individual voltages and one is broken. Or the graphics card is never properly seated in the slot
You would have to test the card separately, but it is supplied via the 12V rail (s) of the PSU, as well as the 4/8 pin CPU and 24 pin board connector, so that the 12V voltage is stable here and the card can't actually be, unless there's a defect in the 6/8 pin cable itself (but then it would usually be a short one, the fuse circuit takes effect and the power supply unit should jump out immediately).
In addition, the 75W PCIe supply would have to be enough to at least run the fans on the card.
Remote diagnostics are always prone to errors, but I don't think your power supply has a problem.
And is it possible that the graphics card gives up the ghost directly due to one-time overheating? Or could it somehow be brought back to life?
No, actually not, but it would be possible that some electrolytic capacitor, which may not have been in the air flow or where the heat pad was not placed properly, has given up the ghost or has burst. The GPU itself has an OTP, nothing happens to it, but individual components can fail at high temperatures and under unfavorable circumstances. I think Sapphire gives a three-year manufacturer's guarantee, something like that is usually quickly repaired.
