Question Red LED is permanently lit on my EVGA RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 ?

[Swoopi26]

So a few days ago i had made another post about this same gpu, one where the gpu would turn on but i wasn’t getting any video signal, it turned out to be a power issue, more specifically it had to do with not using a daisy chain power cable, long story short i managed to fix the problem by buying a modular power supply everything seemed to be fine, until today after doing the whole new installation, after testing the gpu for about 1 hour, installing drivers and stuff, all of a sudden the pc turned off and turned back on, however this time with one of the red leds on the power cables on and the fans and rgb not working, and not sending any video signal, does anyone have any idea what could be happening?

Some clarifications:

- For some reason and which I could not solve, the 3 LEDs on the GPU would blink when turning on the PC, but only once and then remain off, this with both the old and the new PSU

- The new PSU is an Aero Cool Mirage Gold 850W

Had to go looking for your thead;

Question - My monitor only shows image using my old GPU, no image with new GPU or with integrated graphics ?

I bought new a RTX 3060 Ti GPU and I installed it on my PC which previously had a Radeon RX 5500 XT. I followed the process of removing the old drivers using DDU, but when the time came to install the new GPU, I didn't get any image from either the BIOS or Windows, after several tests, I...

next time include it in your thread's body for context.

The LED's are meant to indicate that the GPU's not getting enough power. You were working with an Azza PSAZ-650W which was a junk unit to begin with and it might've done some damage to your GPU in the long run. To move forward, upon who's recommendation did you get the Aercool PSU? You could've looked for something by MSI or Corsair or Seasonic.

The recommendation was given to me by the store where I went to buy it, it seemed like a good price and they told me that the same or similar GPUs had not had any problems.

And since I was not using such a high-end power supply, the old power supply never failed me for several years and I bought it at the same store
