I have no clue why, what caused it to happen.

    It would appear that your device caught on fire which promptly ended your gaming. You’re welcome.

    would love to know what brand and model power supply you have.

    so after the 4090 power cables melting pcie slots decided to start melting too?

    Are you running a UPS? Any possible power surges happen at this time?

    What did you screw your m.2 heatsink into?

    Burnt 12v pin..

    either the card is internally shorted or you have power delivery problems, a few things that can cause that is bad pci 6+2 cables,bad connection at 6+2 cables,card sagging causing a resistive hotspot at the 12v pin, bad psu etc.

    Judging by how black it looks, I’m thinking it’s a dead short which is usually a bad card.

    Ouch, had the same thing happen to me, wrecked the motherboard, CPU, GPU and PSU

    I don’t really know what failed but I have a CPU with dead PCI lanes, the PSU failed later on and the mainboard was obviously fried along with the GPU.

    I reused the PSU later like an idiot and this set fire to a motherboard 24 pin connector and promptly killed that board.

    In all a very expensive problem.

    “AMD cards don’t run that hot anymore.”
    The AMD cards:
    Jokes aside, it could have been a faulty hardware, it doesn’t looks like something could have physically shorted the card. I hope you have still warranty for the graphics card and the motherboard! (And that any of those are asus lol)
