GPU burnout
GPU burnout
Hi, your GPU is definitely overheating after intense gaming. The smell of burnt lithium suggests a serious issue. Try turning on your PC using the integrated GPU first—this can help stabilize it temporarily. If the problem persists, you may need to replace the GPU or address the cooling system.
I don’t own any other graphics card; my setup includes an i7-14700k with a GTX 980 Ti and MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi.
I've tested connecting to the iGPU, and I understand it works since my system experienced a blue screen issue linked to the SSD. At that point, I removed the GPU, confirming it has an integrated one.
We have 980 Ti available. The motherboard appears intact with no visible physical damage or burnt spots on components.
