Recently bought lots of GPUs as I build and sell used computers. A 1060 that I bought weirdly enough literally sparked near to the display connector. PC does not turn off and the gpu keeps running but the PC does not post. NOT a psu issue as I have a very high end corsair RM modular power supply and all the other GPUs that i tested worked flawlessly. One thing to point out is I had to reseat the HDMI connector for two of the cards before I got an output. Could it be a faulty cable?

Hello ___danny, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)!
We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

In the know we call this phenomenon “your GPU is fucked”.
Very much doubt anything else than a shorted card is the fault here, probably user error by the previous owner.
