Help with my brother's issue on his PC

[Trave160]

Welp, I think this is a field probably @Fox Mulder @VANGUARD can explain. What happened was my brothers MSI 970 Gaming motherboard just out of nowhere died it took about 8 days to get it instead upgraded to 990FXA somehow. Now the guy is telling me that my brothers Twin Frozr GTX 560 Ti 1GB had a VGA port problem which also short circuit the mobo as well. I have a funny feeling he is making that up, like how is it possible for a GPU to ruin the motherboard? Either it probably was the PSU that ruined the mobo and the GPU by sending jolts of electricity unregulated as he is using the Tt Smart SE 630W he bought last year, I have a different model which is SPS 630W from CWT. Second guess would be probably the motherboard had bad capacitors which meant it was faulty.

This issue is confusing, I heard of Fermi cards having problems before but want to be clear at first

I dont explain AMD products (apart from the GPUs). Sorry.

Short Circuit? Maybe...But, short circuit through VGA Port?...What? The monitor sent electricity through the VGA cable and fried the motherboard?...That is some weird explanation..."This Guy" must be very very expert in this field to have a weird explanation like this...However, it could be the power supply. That SE 630W is made by HEC . And, it explains a lot.

Tt Smart SE 630W

i saw processor killing mobo, i saw hdd destroying sata port. i even saw ram damaging ram slot and mobo. but gpu vga port? wow. -_-

Well he is going to replace it to GTX 950, @VANGUARD bhai you will us on this. He is already at a lose for 7k

Case closed, he replaced it with a new R9 380X. Am playing Witcher 3 at ultra settings, this feels sad cause my PC won't. Mods please close thread
