I'm guessing that's the answer really, to what just happened. Was running some benchmark to see realistically what my performance is with the overclock ive got on the 970 i just got off ebay, when i decided to take the side panel off and reach into the case.
bad decision. a spark occurred above the gpu and the system turned off, so i turned off the power strip and the switch on the psu to make sure everything's okay. it's running now, is my gpu dying naturally or was it my dumbass hand that caused it?
pic related, its the model i picked up

Your GPU's dying. It was just a coincidence that it happened the exact moment that some dumb cunt stuck their hand into the case.

to be fair though, it was a pretty stupid overclock, and the program was just some random one i didn't really recognize.

I don't even have a side cover for my case and no shit happened.
