Hi,
Technically it's my 1080ti that seems to be dying, but with the current scarcity and prices on the graphics card market, I want to make 110% sure
.
My whole system is new, replaced a week ago, except for the Corsair RM 650 PSU and the 1080ti. Today the PC suddenly froze with a white screen with a few colored pixels. Upon rebooting, nothing happens, no POST. I can remove it or wiggle it, and it will boot, but then freeze during POST with artefacts, or after a few minutes in Windows. Then maybe not boot, then maybe let me back into Windows out of kindness.
I thought it could be the PCI slot itself, but my old 780 is working fine it this last hour. But then again it does not weigh as much as the 1080ti with the Inno3D fans.
I've moved the card onto another rail on the PSU using another cable, same thing. I've moved it onto the other PCI slot so it nearly touches the PSU and is blocked by SATA cables, and it did it again, so there is no way that it's its weight that is pulling out of a maybe slightly defective upper PCI slot.
Grasping at straws here, but could it be that the PSU has been slowly dying and cannot give enough power to the 1080ti? It has had a few years of hard gaming under its rails. Is there a way to test this without buying extra equipment (it would be cheaper to buy a new PSU than the equipment I guess ).
Thanks.
