Need Help, Gigabyte RTX 3060ti no longer works after shutdown but works again after not using it for a few days it's as if it's a complete cycle, the rgb logo on the GPU isn't lighting up when trying to turn it on when it fails hope that gives any clues.

They say it might be PSU problem but 1050ti doesn't seem to have any problem. Hopefully my GPU isn't damaged as well it's been only over a year since I got it and it no longer has a store warranty.

Specs:
CPU: i3 10105
Mobo: Asus H410m-v3
Ram: 16gb hyperx kingston
PSU: Coolermaster G800
1x 1TB ssd
1x 1TB HDD
And some 12v 4 rgb fans

Could be psu related. The 1050ti is a low power card and doesn’t draw near what the 3060ti does. The only way to know would be try it a different psu that is new or known working and good quality.
I only got a 700w unrated generic PSU can try using that for the 3060ti just for a day or two?
 
You could try it to see if it will power on but I wouldn’t run it long term by any means. I’ve accidentally fried components by using cheap knock off power supplies. But you could try it I suppose Ty see if the card can power on then shut it off. If it works at least you’ll know what the issue is.

Haven't replied in a while because of work, thanks for the help It confirmed that the GPU isn't the problem but the PSU itself, a bit short on money right now can you recommend a reliable yet a bit affordable PSU? Should I also get UPS?
 

Eximo

Titan
Ambassador
Location and currency?

UPS/Line Conditioner is useful if you know the power incoming is unreliable and/or you want better protection in general.

3060Ti is relatively light. A good 550W PSU should do, but commonly 650W are around the same price.

Look at the Corsair RM series for higher end, Seasonic (but not the old bronze units like the S12), Thermaltake Toughpower is decent, as is MSI MAG, Corsair CX is adequate.

There are other models out there, but not quite as universal.
