I have a EVGA 970 FTW SC ACX 2.0 which appears to be on short.
If the GPU is connected to the PSU, the PC won't boot up at all, it will try to power the system up but it will just hang on for a second and completely shut off, though the PC boots up OK when the GPU is disconnected from the PSU.
I have other video cards laying around (even a similar 970, but from another brand), which all work fine. I also checked on other forums, seems that this particular card has some faulty components within it, and many people had issues with it.
I really want to try to fix this GPU since i'd be giving it to my brother as a gift, I don't have much money to buy new GPUs.
Where should I start off? I have a multimeter on me, and the components on the back of the card appear to be OK, I haven't disassembled it yet, planning on doing it later today.
I really aprecciate any help on this!
Thank you!
