Question Having issues while booting newly built PC. Any help appreciated!

[Esitt]

Hi there,

Just spent the day building my new PC, finished the build and went to turn it on. Worked perfectly the first boot and got to my bios. While in my bios i noticed that my cpu was running at 89 degrees Celcius which i know wasnt normal. The bios started stuttering after around 3 mins and was very slow and freezing. I decided to shut down the pc while still in bios to go ahead and check in my AIO cooler was properly mounted. Once taking the cooler off i found that on both sides there was a small area where the thermal paste didnt reach. I reapplied the aio cooler and then found that my fan orientations were switched, so instead of 4 intakes and 1 exhaust, i had 4 exhausts and one intake (i know i am an idiot). I switched the fans and went to boot again and found this (pictured below).

Faulty 3080 ti was the culprit. My worst nightmare. The computer ran smoothly on integrated graphics and I was able to reach BIOS, boot off my windows USB and install windows successfully. Horrible time to be alive gentlemen.

You sure the PSU's not to blame here? You removed a power hungry device from the system and thankfully you had display off of the iGPU. If the GPU works in a donor build with a higher wattage unit, you have narrowed down the issue in your build.

Great point. I am unfortunately far away from my personal desktop so I can't hot swap the GPUs to test it out. So I was thinking of bringing it in somewhere to test it. However, my PSU is able to power the rest of my components well (be it I know the GPU is the powerhouse that takes the most Watts). In an earlier build about 8 years ago, I once suffered from a faulty PSU and it wouldn't even allow me to boot the PC. So I don't really know!
