    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    Nope, nevermind. The issue persists. It worked fine for about a week and a half and then came back with exact same symptoms. Less frequently and easy to recover from at first, but now doesn't boot at all (kind of hoping it just died completely so it's easier to prove it's broken). I damn near...

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    So an update. I decided to get a new PSU to try because I figured the worst case scenario is that I'll have a PSU for a home server I've been wanting to build anyway (a bit overkill, but whatever). There have been no booting issues over the weekend with new PSU. So mystery solved hopefully.

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    Just double checked and the company they sent it to for testing is actually listed as official distributor of Sapphire. So I guess that adds some validity. I could contact Sapphire directly and ask, but their website says to direct everything warranty related to distributor/reseller which...

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    Unfortunately none that have the right connectors or wattage. Anyway wouldn't a faulty PSU manifest when running too, especially under load? For memory I have 4 8gb sticks one of which actually died on me recently and was exchanged. So that was one of the first things I tested. Tried booting...

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    Oh, sorry. No I didn't look at the CPU. Can't imagine why it would be damaged as I have not touched it since installed years ago. Anyway I managed to get ahold of a different motherboard and CPU this evening. The same behavior happens. So it's not the motherboard after all.

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    They inspected it visually pretty thoroughly when I returned it under warranty. I can't see anything wrong either as far as I can tell. PCIe version selection isn't an option for this motherboard (forcing v3.0 was suggested in other posts). There's only an option to change configuration like...

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    CPU is AMD Ryzen 7 2700X. Never overclocked anything.

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    I've triple checked and repluged everything that's plugable. Also tried different PSU cables.

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    The second slot doesn't seem to work at all. Even occasionally. Updated BIOS again yesterday to version 4402.

    Question Sapphire RX 6700xt not passing POST only sometimes

    Motherboard: Asus PRIME B450-PLUS PSU: Corsair 850W RM850X 80+ Gold I have a weird issue with a brand new 6700xt. After the PC is turned off for some time, like overnight, it will stop POSTing with VGA error beeps. If I restart it enough times eventually it turns on with zero issues and can be...
