Hi all,
my rig stopped last night because apparently a riser burnt through. It wasn't one of those cases where people connect to the pci port it the other way around and short circuit: it has been running for weeks without problems. Last reboot was a couple of days ago when I updated Claymore.
I connected a new riser and immediately the riser gave a spark and burnt through as well. Fortunately I still had the powerplug in my hands and could disconnect it immediately.

There is no visible damage to the GPU, to the little thingie going into the PCI slot of the MB or to the slot of the MB.
I disconnected the riser and gpu and fortunately the rig could reboot and is still working with the other 4 GPUs.
Is my GPU fried? I'm afraid to test it directly on the MB, because that might fry my MB as well...
PSU: Be Quiet Power Zone 1000W
Any tips?
Thanks.
