Same here! This error just started showing randomly for me today. I didn't change anything. Maybe it's a server-side problem then

I'm thinking about buying a proper backplate. Cardboard is safe enough? One of this could prevent future problems? https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-fc-rtx-2080-ti-backplate-classic-black

I just bought a new GPU and it's working perfectly now (turned off everything first this time :tearsofjoy:). Definitely the old GPU is dead. One thing I did this time, that I read somewhere else, was inserting a paperboard of the same size of the GPU as a backplate. It worked perfectly!

Cool! I'll try to do it, thanks! Yes, this air cooler is huge, if I knew I'd have bought the smaller version at the time

Hello, I just need an advice for the next GPU installation. This image is the current setup. Look how close is the GPU from the cooler and its metal clips. The new GPU has no backplate (I could only afford the cheaper one). Is there any way I can prevent this same problem in the future with...

I think the GPU died completely now, it doesn't display the video signal no matter how many times I try to unplug it and plug it. Time to buy a new one, I'll try to buy a new PSU first too. Thanks!

UPDATE: Today when I tried to power on the PC after using it normally last night, the problem returned. There was no video signal on boot. But after trying turning off and on, unplugging and pluggin from wall a few times the video worked again. May the PSU be damaged too?

Great news! I've reinstalled everything and didn't work. Then I tried to change the DVI cable to the another output and WORKED! Seems like it just damaged one of the GPU's output. Working normally now. Well, lesson learned. ;-)

But if the GPU fan is spinning (even if for 2 seconds) doesn't that mean that the GPU is working and not damaged?

I will try it with calm, but unfortunately it's this exact scenario, the metal touched the PCB, what a bad luck. I'll reply to this thread after the reinstall. Thank you!

Yes, my fault :-/ But I don't know if it has something to do with that metal clip of the fan touching the GPU, cause I just handled the fan cable, the distance of each other is very close... Any chance of damage? Anyway, I'll try to reinstall all the components later.

Hello, how are you? My PC was running fine and then I've noticed one of the two fans of the Noctua NH-D15 was not spinning. I've opened the case and just tried to figure out if the connector was not plugged well, but in the process, I think one of the clips just touched the back panel of my GPU...

Yes, it's a dilemma, I really liked the 1080, hope it can handle well the future games in 4 or 5 years in full hd (4k is not my priority). I'm gonna buy it after the 1080ti launches, maybe it gets a bit cheaper.

Thank you guys, I'm considering the opinions here before buying it.
