Hey Guys,
Long time reader, First time poster so excuse me if this is in the wrong place.
Device Specs:
CPU: i7 - 6700k
GPU: GTX 970
Mobo: Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7
PSU: Corsair CX600m
(If more info is needed about the device I will be happy to post but this should suffice)
First off I have never had issues with my PC before this incident.
I shipped my computer to myself via UPS and it seems one day air means they don't even land the plane, they just throw it down to the truck on the runway.
When I got my package the box was damaged and I open up to find my computer in shambles.....decently dented on the case, GPU had fallen out of the motherboard and the clip holding it in broken. All the drive bays were disturbed as well. I am guessing they dropped the computer and it took a bit of a tumble.
After reinstalling the GPU into an unbroken slot on the mobo I start the computer up and the graphics card is throwing a code 43. I uninstalled and reinstalled drivers numerous times and different ways with no luck.
Luckily I was able to get my hands on another computer for some testing. I took my GPU and installed it in this computer and it worked flawlessly! So I thought i was in the market for a new mobo....but then the thought crossed my mind to install the test computers GPU into mine...
This is where things get a little weird. I installed a GTX 1050 into my computer to test my mobo. Everything worked fine as well....
Im at a roadblock and im not entirely sure what could be wrong at this point.
Another thought I had was that maybe the PSU was damaged somehow.....taking into consideration my GPU utilizes 2 6-pin power plugs and the GTX 1050 I used for testing only utilized 1 6-pin plug...
Do I need a:
Thanks and I appreciates ya!
Edit: Pictures of the damage available if needed!
