My 2060 super just died on me (kinda) it still boots up, and I can do minor stuff on it but as soon as I load a game it crashes. I ordered a new 3080 but I am scared to put it into my pc because I don't know why my gpu died. What could have caused it? Could my psu cause it? Please help
 
The power supply should be fine

How old are the parts already there.

Do you get any error messages?

How much do you use the system under a load?
No error messages at all. All the parts are less than half a year old. I use it normally for gaming. Mostly destiny 2 (not demanding on gpu)
 
I did a bios update, put the gpu in a different slot, tried a different monitor and port, I went back to and old driver, and I tried underclocking it nothing made it better

See what happens when you put the power profile to High if no change or worse put back to Balanced.

Disable Hibernation if you do not need and or use.
At the command prompt and then press Enter.
