Hello

I have a tuf b550m ( suspected the motherboard previously , i had a msi mpg b550 and it showed the same behavior ) , ryzen 7 5700x3d , 32 gb dual channel 4 slots ( tested with memtest86 ) and a 650w xpg pylon psu ( i had a 4070 windforce before , it worked with the same configs for about 1 year fine , same TV , cables etc... i only got a new 4070 model ( eagle ) and gave my windforce to my brother)

I´m wondering , is it safe to assure my GPU is busted ? it is new and this happens randomly

It is not due to monitor being ON before the PC as it works without turning the monitor on ( monitor and TV works fine as well)

When the PC is on , it works flawlessly , no crashes whatsoever

I´m about to use warranty but i´m wondering if it is really the gpu

the previous gpu worked fine on the same specs

Safe to assure it is my GPU or something else ? but i´m afraid the warranty won´t find the issue

Should i look into something else ?

thanks

Try the card on your brother's computer and you will see if it works properly, the only thing I would say is wrong at this moment is the power supply, but first try the card

It is because it happens so randomly it is hard to diagnose

Could it be the PCI-E cable maybe ? or it shows the VGA light but could point to something else?

unplug it and open it, take it out and put it back in carefully, it might not fit well in the slot
