This clearly indicates a failing power supply unit because it's not meeting the required standards.
I detected a strong odor resembling burned plastic from my GPU. Could this indicate a problem? The previous temperature reading during benchmarking was near 70°C. Yes, GPUs typically have built-in safety features that shut down when overheating significantly.
You shouldn't be detecting burnt plastic smells around your PC. The 8-Pin Connector on the GPU appears intact based on the video footage. It seems the power supply unit may have triggered some protection when you powered on the system. Have you noticed any other 8-pin connectors on the PSU that could be causing issues? Just to confirm, there are no damaged cables or connectors on that side.
I've verified everything on the GPU side. The wire, PCB, and PCIe connections from both 8-pin and 6-pin are all secure. No signs of damage detected. They all appear intact. I don't have any extra 8-pin connectors. I only have two 8-pin connectors that are linked together in a chain.
A little update guys. So I went to my friend's house and had the gpu I bought used tested in his rig with a 650w Gigabyte PSU. In his rig, while my gpu is installed there, his pc won't power up as well. The same symptom persists in his rig. But when I try out his GPU in my system, it powers on and boot up to windows. I also had my psu tested out by using his gpu in my rig and it is working fine. So conclusion: It is the GPU that is cooked. I've already asked for a refund and the GPU I bought is on it's way back to the seller.
