Hey everyone, I’m having a weird issue with my RTX 3060 Ti and I’m hoping someone has seen this before.
Recently my PC will just randomly stop displaying and the audio cuts out completely. The PC stays on (fans spinning and lights are on), but the screen just goes black. Sometimes when I try to turn the PC back on, it powers up but won't display anything at all.
I pulled the card out to check it and found some blue/green crusty stuff on the PCIe pins, I've been cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol and that makes it work again for a little bit, but the problem always comes back.
I’m worried the gold plating is actually corroded or something. Is there any way to fix this permanently or will it just keep getting worse?
