>So the power went out for less than 1/2 sec
>pc turned off
>I forced turned it off so I can restart
>pc won't turn on
>smells burning somewhere
>unplugged the entire pc from the wall
>opened pc and check but can't where the smell comes from
>plugged in back to the wall
>pc wont turn on
>removed the pc from the wall again then open the pc
>removed the gpu 1060 6gb sc almost 7years old bought back in 2016
>gpu smells a lil bad near the dvi back area but no physical burn sign.
>turns on the pc without the gpu
>pc works / mother board lights up / cpu fan spins / pc fan spins / seems no damage in psu
>T_T placed back the gpu
> pc won't turn on, when pressing the power the "click sound" happens in motherboard / GPU fan does not spin / CPU fan does not spin / pc case fan does not spin / nothing happening in monitor.
>now I am 80% certain the gpu got
(Deleted for Foul Language) up
>the remaining 20% are second thoughts on either mother board got
(Deleted for Foul Language) up or may be psu got damaged and can't provide enough power. Gold CX
Sigh* now guide me through this unfortunate circumstances
- idk if i'll consider the 20% scenario that either MB or PSU are damaged
- i don't have spare pc to test the gpu
- I'll go to pc center in my area, if the gpu is broken i'll builda new pc from there.
- why did i posted here, b/c i am wondering if this scenario of mine happened to anyone here.

<3 the card and been grinding for kagtunak piece in Black desert then this
(Deleted for Foul Language) happened. also when it happened there's a loud fan spin sound idk if it is the gpu or the psu.
I posted this in the same pc but no gpu installed.*edit
