If something produced smoke, it suggests death. Try to locate its origin. If your GPU is the issue, consider replacing it to test. Should the problem stem from your motherboard, avoid using it until repairs are made—any power surge could damage components. Bring it to a repair shop and check if the CPU, storage, or RAM might be affected.
The situation suggests either a major hardware issue or a complete failure. Check if the machine responds when you turn it on—any indication of life? Confirm all connections are secure and verify the full specifications of your system.
The card appears to be smoke from the fan, and after checking the motherboard, it didn’t respond. I took it to a repair shop, who told me the graphics card isn’t working because smoke is coming out of it, and the motherboard is displaying a red screen. Is there any way to fix this?
