Hi, for me, the solution lied in two problems. The 12+4-pin to 3x8-pin adapter for my GPU was faulty and had to be replaced. Additionally, one of the 8-pin connectors was faulty and had to be replaced. If that doesn't work, try taking out your GPU and booting with integrated graphics (if you...

Hey, I don't know if you've sorted this yet, or not. However, I recently had a similar issue with my RTX 3090 TI. There were a few issues I had to fix (a damaged 8-pin cable and a faulty DP cable), but in the end it was the 12+4-pin to 3x8-pin adapter for the GPU. Maybe my thread will help you...

It's fixed! Thank you, guys, for all of your help. After replacing the adapter cable, it worked perfectly. This could have been down to two things: - The adapter was damaged - It was the wrong adaptor So yeah apparently, I used the wrong adapter from the get-go. There were two adapters that...

All of the pins are visibly intact. But I don't think I have a spare adapter to test or any more 6+2-pin cables either. I can't tell what is causing the resistance. It's very strange. Sadly, the PSU in my old PC is only 650W so I'm gonna see if I can get my hands on a friend's one if that have...

Okay, I've plugged in my old GTX 1050 TI and it works. So, I suppose this rules out the PCI-E issue. I'll check if the PSU in my old PC is 1000W, if so, is it worth trying that to see if power is the culprit? I guess this narrow the potential issue down to the following (correct me if I'm wrong...

I didn't think so, but just realised there is an old one in the garage. Giving it a try now! Thanks. I thought possibly the PCI-E slot could be damaged so hopefully this will rule that out.

That's a negative. Sadly, this hasn't allowed the GPU to be detected.

I'll give that a try now. Thanks 🙂

It was brand new when I bought it of course, so 2 years old now. Is it really possible that it would work for so long and then not be able to cope on 850W? Apologies, I forgot to upload the image: View: https://imgur.com/a/8eNSYoD

Originally, the PSU 6+2-pin connectors for the GPU were dodgy, see attached image. However, after replacing this cable everything was working correctly. But after a couple of hours everything shut down and I've been having problems ever since. The new PSU cable is firmly connected according to...

I built my PC just over 2 years ago and it's been working great (specs below). However, a few days ago, I believe during a Windows update, the display stated it could no longer detect an input source. I have tried many things such as reseating the GPU, M2, and RAM. There was a faulty VGA power...
