[SOLVED] My gpu crashes my pc

[hrmccarthy]

I have built my pc and everyhting is working apart from my graphics card. When I plug it in my pc does not produce any output but turns on. I have a rtx 2060 and a ASRock Z490M. I have a Power Supply 600W with ECO Mode, 80+ Bronze Certified, GAMEMAX VP-600. BTW my pc crashed when the back of the gpu is plugged in and the power cable was not plugged in yet. to the gpu. Also, when i plug my gpu in the fans spin and i do not have the fans on my pc hooked up yet so they are off but i dont think that should matter because all im running is windows 10.

Gamemax is generally an awful quality brand and I'm leaning on that it might be the PSU.
I wouldn't trust a Gamemax with the rest of my system and I'd be replacing it anyway.

In general it's hard to go wrong with any Corsair or Seasonic.

I'd go with 750 watts....just so you have headroom....and also if you want to upgrade in the future.

I'm currently running 2 Corsair RMx series....750 watts and 1000 watts and both have been running years and no problems with either. They are also very quiet....but as I said...just about any Corsair or Seasonic at 750 watts should work fine for you.

@hrmccarthy I may be misreading, but if you mean that your pc is crashing while you have an dvi/hdmi/DP cable plugged into your gpu without the 6 or 8 Pin direct to gpu power connectors also NOT plugged in, it's 100% gonna crash everytime as it's protecting itself and your motherboard from the massive power draw that it would need to operate. Most modern graphics cards draw very little power from the actual slot, it's almost completely from the 6 or 8 pin power connectors. Hope this helps!

He mentions that is crashes with it not connected (of course it will)....but I think this means he also tried it with it connected.
