Question No video with RX 6600

[aaronzr9]

Hey guys, im having a problem with my RX 6600 (Sapphire Pulse), basically one normal day like usual i turned on my pc to play, but i noticed that the color was kinda weird, and the resolution, my first thought was drivers, and yep, nailed it, i didnt have any drivers, or well, thats what i saw when i did right click on my desk, i installed new drivers and everything fine, next day, same problem no drivers, well, install them again and see why they are being uninstalled, right? well, this time something weird happened, when i was googling for drivers to install them, my pc stopped giving video, fans were still running , it even said no signal on monitor, i thought it was the HDMI, i changed it to DPI to test, even the monitor, but no, neither the monitor or the cable were the problem, i tried another gpu i have (RX 550) to test, and it worked well, everything ok, i used DDU to delete drivers, and install the RX 550 drivers, trned off my pc, turned it on, and drivers where there, it seemed like the problem was with my 6600, so i just thought it was dead or something, i connected it just to test for a last time and it worked normally, next day, same problem, drivers not there, stops giving video after a few seconds of going into windows, i tried my gpu in another PC and same problem happens there, but i refuse to believe my gpu is dead, sometimes it works normally for hours, problem comes when you turn it off and turn it on again the pc.

Why did you chose a poor quality PSU for a nice build?

CV series Corsair is low end but the RX 6600 isn't all that power hungry, though, that doesn't necessarily rule out psu.

How long have you had the 6600 for before witnessing this problem?

Check pcie 8 pin is being fully plugged and card fully seated in pcie slot.

It's either psu or graphics card or both. Should replace psu anyway regardless, something with minimum 7yr warranty. Rm650x has 10 years. Then go from there.
