Got a desktop gaming rig that just cut out (hard powered off) while playing a game.
I have narrowed it down to either the graphics card GTX570 or the PSU XpowerPRO 950W
When i used a cheap pcie card the system boots fine and works.
When i use the 570 the machine does not even turn on (no lights, no fan, dead)
Now could this be that the power supply is no longer giving out the required wattage to power the card (2xpci 6 pins) or could it be that the card itself is defected.
When you run it without the 2 x 6pin power connectors on the graphics card the system starts but get nothing on screen. But I do get power. Its only when I have put both 6 pin power connectors to the graphics that the system dont power on any more.
Both are expensive parts so what sounds more likely the card or PSU ?
