Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - Bugs & Technical Problems My GPU fried

Or at least I believe it did. I'm still in the process of figuring whether it's my GPU or my PSU that's causing the problem.

Earlier today, while I was playing D:OS2, my computer completely shut down without any warning and wouldn't show any sign of life whatsoever.
After fiddling with the inside, I figured out that my computer couldn't run if the PSU was connected to the GPU. When I remove the GPU, the computer runs fine.

My specs:
- GPU: GTX780ti
- PSU: Coolmaster M2 silent pro 850W
- Mobo: MSI Z87-G45 gaming motherboard
- CPU: i7 4790K
- 32g RAM
- 500g SSD

All drivers were updated.

I was playing on Ultra.

Never had a problem with any other games on ultra and I played many games that required higher or similar specs.

I do not know whether my GPU was overheating while playing and it is too late now to check.
I do not know if this system failure was caused by the game or if it was caused by other means.

Just thought I'd post here to get any insight on what happened to my PC or to let Larian know of a possible issue.

Edit: After testing with another PC, it is indeed the GPU that died. Once I get it replaced, I'll be monitoring the temperature on the new one closely and see if something is wrong.

if you think about GPU overheating,
1. try the utility from your video card vendor and check GPU temperature (for my ASUS it's GPU Tweak 1/2). it would be enough to run any game in the background, as I could see in GPU Tweak
if it's really hot
2. try to remove the dust from its radiator.
maybe you have to disassembly entire cooling system and use new thermal compound on GPU chip.

I have GTX780 (w\o TI) also and I play 4k with ultra settings.
after using a vacuum cleaner GPU temperature decreases from 80C to 50-55C for my video card
and 80C is a cap from ASUS with its GPU Tweak utility and\or GPU BIOS settings.
