[SOLVED] No GPU power

[FergyBoi]

I just got a GTX 1660 XC Black yesterday, it worked smoothly without issues. but then out of nowhere my PC crashed and the 1660 hasn't worked since. The fan isn't spinning, and there is no input. Pretty much no power. It is in the PCI slot correctly, and the PCI-E power connector is plugged in. Device Manager and Speccy do not even recognize the GPU.

Bad and poor qualityPSU that can output 408W in the 12V rail. It's the first thing that you need to upgrade asap. EVGA has your GPU listed with a minimum PSU of 500W.

EDIT: You will be lucky if your PSU did not damage your GPU.

My cousin has a 500w EVGA one lying around. It worked perfectly a month ago as far as I'm concerned. Should I plug that one in?

that would probably be a better bet.

Do you think that a piece of hardware and especially a PSU will have some kind of indication that it will go bad? Unless you have special hardware and software monitoring each and every component, then you can't know and it will happen "suddenly".

Trying your cousin's PSU will be a far better practise. Hoping the GPU is not damaged.

Ok I'll talk to him about it. Thank you.

Okay so my cousin and I made the conclusion that it is fried. But, there is good news. The GPU had a warranty that I never knew about! So I'll just get a new one. We believe the PSU was the issue, so he gave me his 500w one for free. I really hope the MoBo wasn't the issue and it won't just fry it again lol.
