Right know I have a EVGA Supernova G3 installed, but I have also tried with a brand new Corsair CV 650W

Hi! Im having some problems with a computer I bought second hand recently. Specs: I7-7700K GTX 1080ti 11GB Strix Asus Maximus VIII Ranger 16 GB RAM (8 x 2) 3200 Mhz EVGA Supernova G3 650W Sometimes when I try to boot up, the computer powers on for maybe 0.5-1 second before shutting down. The...

Yeah probably, I could run a Unigine Heaven benchmark yesterday without problem and without artifacts. Doesn’t that benchmark focus on the GPU and almost nothing on the cpu? Maybe that proves something? I don’t know

Yes! I re-mounted the cpu once with the old motherboard and with the new one to see if there were any physical damage/bent pins to it. And I checked the socket as well. But it looked alright!

I have tried it before without success, but I tried it today again after you mentioned it just to be sure. So I did as you said in the comment but it didn’t fix the problem :/. Text still disappear, artifacts etc

i could only bring my gpu to another computer :/

I have now tested the GPU in my friends computer, and no glitches or artifacts showed up at all. Not in windows and I could start games without problems! So maybe it narrows it down to the CPU?

Okay….. I have now switched motherboard and tried with both kits of RAM, but the problem still exists. So I guess CPU or GPU?

Yes, that was what i were hoping for, but maybe it’s the Ram slots on the Mobo?

No, but I’m going to borrow a friends motherboard tomorrow so see if that’s makes any difference. I tried to launch a game earlier today after the computer said “checking disks, to skip press any button” on boot. The game started and stayed open for surprisingly long, had some flickering then...

I went into bios and did a voltage override with 1.35. The computer booted and it said “checking disks, to skip press any button” When I logged in, the same problems like glitches and programs crashing without errors still exists :/

I have tried negative offset, but that didn’t make any difference what I could tell. I will try higher voltage when I come home. I doubt it will work, but I’ll give it a chance! :)

I switched to manual in bios, and chose voltage override for the VDDCR. I lowered it with the lowest amount possible from 1.2 to 1.975 and when I try to boot after that, the computer just says “preparing automatic repair” and gets stuck

I tried with a Voltage Offset and raised it the smallest amount as I could. Then the computer started but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it uses the extra volt right? Isn’t offset that you just give it permission to use more V in case it needs it?

I’m home from work now, and tried voltage override for the CPU. I raised it with the smallest amount possible. And then when the computer restarts, after boot screen the screen just goes black. And my monitor says that it doesn’t recognize any source.
