[SOLVED] 1660 super gpu / Can't benchmark / Display driver failed to start

[reckless94]

I just bought a Geforce GTX 1660 super gpu. I tried to benchmark it and see how it runs compared to the 1050ti I just replaced, Every time I run either Userbenchmark or Heaven benchmark my monitors go black and my gpu fans kick into overdrive. I have to shut down the computer manually. Windows gives me a Display driver failed to start, using microsoft basic display driver instead. I reinstalled the drivers and did a clean install on them as well. no change on the problem. If some one can offer me some insight on this that would be much appreciated



Pc Specs:
Windows 10 pro
I5-9600k @ 3.70GHz
Asus GTX 1660 Super GPU
Asus Prime Z-390-a Mobo
8GB x2 DDR4-3200
WD_Black SN750 500gb M.2 SSD
Corsair AX760 PSU

Update 1 - just reinstalled my gtx 1050ti and I can run benchmarks and no issues at all. So I suspect a faulty gpu or not enough power.

Update 2 - Took the 1660 super back and exchanged it, tried a new one and still doing the same thing as before.
My 1050ti still runs good
Power issue?

Power issue?

It looks like it.

 

[reckless94]

Yeah thats what it looks like its coming down too. but 760 watts should be more then enough power.. so im a little confused... @vov4ik_il

 

[rgd1101]

test with another pcie port on the psu? another cable?

Ill try another port. I unfortunately do not have an extra cable to test. but im confused because if the pcie port or cord isnt affecting my 1050ti could it still be faulty?

 

[reckless94]

@rgd1101 I have a 6 + 2 pin pcie cord. my 1050ti is a 6 pin and the 1660 super is 8 pin. so my cord should work for both of them with no issues

 

[rgd1101]

from the psu product page, there like 4 or 5 different pcie power port. do try a different one

Yeah I can move the cord to a different slot and try that. I'll do that as soon as I get back home and update you. Thank you

 

[reckless94]

Alright @rgd1101 I think I figured out the problem but don't know what I should do next. I unplugged my pcie cord and turns out it was melted into the socket. I'm assuming it's time for a new PSU and cord

what happened to the other cable?

Idk man it was like 8 years ago when I bought that PSU. I ended up just buying the Corsair rm750x PSU. And just installed it. Now time to plug er in and see what happens
