[SOLVED] Installed a new Gpu and the pc won’t turn on

[joshwhiting326]

So I just installed a new GPU into my pc. It’s a MSI 1070 ti Duke into a Z97-A mobo. My computer won’t even turn on now. I tried replacing the new GPU with the old one and it turned on. It is fully connected to power and the pcie is compatible and also fully plugged into. Does that mean the GPU I got is a bad one. I got it I used from amazon.

What power supply do you have? New or used 1070ti?

I have a 1000w psu. And it’s a slightly used 1070 ti. I also just tried unplugging the vga power cables it turned on but the monitors don’t receive any signal.

I'd say the GPU is bad. But I do find it odd that the PC doesn't even boot.

If your system works with one GPU, and not that one, and you have plenty of power supply (which you do) I'd vote busted used gpu

The gpu and pc turn on after the 6+2 vga power cable is unplugged. But then the monitors don’t receive any signal. So the gpu should still work.

Question from joshwhiting326 : "Pc won’t turn on after installing a new GPU"

So I have just installed a new msi 1070 ti duke into my pc. I have a 1000 w psu. My pc now won’t turn on if I have the 6+2 vga power cable plugged into the gpu. But if I have the 6 pin plugged in( which I need both to work) it turns on but with no signal to the monitor. I have seen this problem before on other forums and most solutions are getting a more powerful psu, but my psu is 1000 w and more than capable. I don’t know if any solution to this problem and it has really been bugging me.

As noted earlier, this sounds like a defective GPU. I would suggest you RMA the GPU with MSI. They should repair or replace the device. Or, you can go through the return process with Amazon. Your call.

Last, don't start another thread on this topic. Four [strike]Three[/strike] is three [strike]two[/strike] too many. Thanks.
