Around 2-3 months back, I found myself at a bit of a quandary. My pc wouldn't turn on with the GPU installed. Without it however, it worked just fine. It was either my power supply malfunctioning which made my GPU go bad or my GPU had only so much life. Although my pc still turned on with the "bad" power supply, I still went ahead and got myself a new one considering it was the oldest component in my pc and it wasn't providing enough power for my GPU.
I got a Xigmatek 600w psu as you, the people voted. But, it didn't help. Pc still didn't turn on with the gpu and yada yada. My 460 only served me a mere year, and imo that's an awful short period of life for a 22,000 Rupees (at that time) card. While my previous card (9800Gt) served me over 3 years. Is it the brand (sparkle) or am I just unlucky here?
Anyhow, please go ahead and leave some suggestions on what I could do with it now. Can it be repaired? If yes, then where? Can it be sold in its "dead" condition for any amount of money?
And remember, it isn't any of the other parts conflicting as I got everything upgraded just a month or two ago before this happened.
