Help me out, computer pros
Is it possible ,that installing a graphic card into a computer(desktop) that came without one, can cause my graphic card to melt my motherboard?
Basically, the graphic card was GeForce 9400 gt

im no pc expert, but i think i see 3. 4, if u count this mini fan that is added onto the graphic card
So from what im hearing, there really isnt a way that it could melted my motherboard?
Any guess wut else it could be?
Looking bak in the past, i guess all i can think of is that the computer was a bit old (bought when it was like 2006 or 2007) .
It was a bit dirty.
Any other suggestion?
If your power supply can support it there should be no problems.
>GeForce 9400 gt
It's a fairly low-tier graphics card, so unless you were gaming for 24+ hours straight, I don't really see how it melted your mobo.
hmmm, well i assume that becuase the graphic card is plugged into the motherboard, that they are sharing the power together.
But becuase im a computer noob, can you tell me wut u mean by power supply failure more detailed? Thanks
You sure it wasn't a power supply failure?
I wouldn't be surprised if a random computer couldn't power a GPU you added.
well, i used this graphic card on one of my other compuer, (back in 2008 i think), and about 3 month after that, the motherboard melted.
I do not see how unless the installation was not done properly.
