I have another thread under general hardware about crashing <using phone don't know how to link>
Last night my pc shutoff and could not be turned on.
Today just before taking it apart to figure out what is up, I powered it again and saw a puff of smoke.
Took it all apart, could not see where it came from. With only a power supply, MB and graphics card (no cpu), powered it on again and watched closely as smoke billowed from inside the video card.
Yesterday afternoon, prior to final crash, i had already ordered a PS and Vid card as part of my troubleshooting process.
Does anyone know if EVGA will either replace or at least partial compensate for this new card.
The 980Ti is about a year and half old.
I haven't located the exact location of the smoke release chip as it would require disassembly of the card.
--------------------
just looked at warranty which is 3 years and it was purchased from newegg 10/23/15, so I've had it 2 years instead of 1.5.
