Let's start from beginning I know I shouldn't have bought a 3060 for $800 from offer up, but I had no chance of getting a msrp 30s graphic card after many tries on best buy, amazon, neweggs for months, the nearest microcenter is a state away. I bought the card from a guy on offer up thinking it was an okay deal.
Back to the topic, knowing it is a miner card after setting it up, I used it for about two hours to play video games after setting the computer up and was pretty excited upgrading from an old graphic card. Then suddenly the screen turns black and the computer shut down. I then turned the computer back on, but then nothing works, fan on the card does not spin and neither the display show up.
- I tried -
Taking the card out and put it in another computer to see if it works - doesn't work.
Reset the motherboard bios - doesn't work.
Taking out the RAM and put it back in - doesn't work.
Put old card back and the 3060 in the second pcie slot- same thing for different pc - doesn't show 3060 in device manager.
I assumed the card is bricked and I'm trying to RMA but I don't have proof of purchase. He told me he bought it from someone else, and when I asked him to if he can ask the original purchaser to give me a proof the purchase so I can RMA but he kept dodging the questions. At this put I'm really sad and don't know what to do, now I'm asking you guys.
SOS.
