Hello, I recently moved my PC without any issues until I came to turn it on and it did not turn on. I noticed the motherboard had its usual lights on and that all the cables are secure. I first tested the psu with the paper clip test and it worked fine. I then tried the motherboard jump...

I have tried quite a few of the sata ports on the motherboard, neither have worked. Like i said, it worked first try in the other pc What would you do?

Hey, I sent off my GPU a couple days ago to MSI. However, another issue has come up. My 4TB WDD hard drive started crashing my file explorer whenever I would access files inside of it. After restarting, the pc kept reatarting over and over with the attempting to fix hard disk message. After a...

I'm guessing my best bet would to send the GPU off to MSI's repair/rma team in Poland. After a quick google, it's clear they don't have the best reputation, but I really don't have a choice :confused_old: . Appreciate the response.

I don't have an avaliable high wattage PSU. I was looking at the page for the MSI 1080, and it says 'extra', does this mean it's not needed? Because this is the port causing the shortage

Yeah, my apologies I was incorrect. I've contacted MSI about a warranty and they have agreed, however I still fear it could be my power supply. I'm using a old gpu from my brother, and the computer is working, however I need my 1080 back. Is there anyway to test whether it could be my psu not...

I just performed the tests in the video and the voltage matched what he was saying. Should I do the same multimeter test with the vga cable?

The first thing I did was the PSU paperclip thing, and the psu turned on with fans and everything. Ive been using the cables from the PSU that came with it also. View: https://imgur.com/y46lO5c The image above shows the cable that seems to be causing the issue. I have ensured its fully...

Alright, thanks.

It does click when it boots, but then stops. Ive noticed its the 3x3 pin connector that goes into the gpu from the psu that may be causing the issue. If i plug the other 4x4 pin into the gpu from the psu and not the 3x3 at the same time, the gpu fans spin and the lights appear. Maybe a faulty...

Hey, thanks for the reply. The psu is 850w, which is fine for the gpu. Is there anyway of checking whether the psu is bad? The fans spin when I did the paper clip test.

Hey, bit of an update. I dont think the gpu is fried since if i unplug the psu to the gpu( the vga cables that connect ), the lights on the gpu turn on? And the computer turns on. Is it the psu?

Great, thanks!

Yeah, from the official amazon MSI shop. I will contact them for a look on the warranty. I appreciate your help.
