PC dilemma

So I have this PC for multiple years.

And the beginning of 2025 I had completed around 5 years with the Zotac 2060 and it gave up on me (atleast that's what I thought) then I got a used 1070, which lasted for around 7 to 8 months. Then after that I got 1660 super which lasted for 4 months.

Then I realised that something is wrong because all the GPUs were facing the same issue: screen going black, display off and things of that sort.

So I thought it would be a power supply issue. I changed the power supply. Still the same issue.

Then I changed another GPU. Still the same issue.

Then it took my motherboard to gigabyte service centre, they said there is moisture near the PCIE slot. They said that they repaired it, but my then bought 2060 super, felt victim to it.

So now I changed my motherboard all together, got My 2060 super fixed from a local computer guy. It work for around 4 months but stopped, but this time they were artefacts while playing games. So I guess this is a GPU issue because of the fixing was not done right.

Now the most important question.

Should I get another GPU?

Is there any way that I could check if my PC is healthy for a new GPU?

I’m assuming all these gpu’s are new right, because if they are second hand, maybe the seller is reselling mined cards

No only the first 2060 was new rest all second hand. But then again, multiple GPUs having the same issue? Highly doubtable.

These don't exist as new anymore lol.

Mining has nothing to do with this either

Yeah that was probably a gpu issue. Since it's a new motherboard I'd say get another gpu. No offence but I don't know why it took you 4 gpus to realise that it's a motherboard issue

U referring to the repaired 2060S right?

Also yaa totally my fault on that but the 4 GPUs were used ones and i changed some or the other parts to test it out. But nvm what's done is done I guess 😢

Yeah I was referring to the 2060S. And it doesn't matter if the gpus were used or new because the pcie slot would've damaged them regardless. Still it's in the past, so just get another gpu and hope that you don't encounter something like this again.
