New build, Mother board, processor, ram , Power supply and video, When I plug the power supply cable into the Asus Geforce 1660 Ti video card the system won't power on, even the CPU fan won't come on, if I unplug the video card from the 850 watt power supply the board comes up.
I went to the local PC shop and had the new power supply tested, it's ok.
With the video card outside of the computer( not in a slot) and I turn the power supply on with the switch on the back of the PS I can hear a click inside the PS, like the unit was going into current overload . If I put an old junk video card the machine will post, no problem,
Now here's the kicker, this is the second gforce card to have the same exact problem.
Background: The reason I put all new parts is the old system got wet (long story) while it was running, the only visible damage I saw at the time was water in the power supply and corrosion on some of the components on the video card.
I pulled out the video card and bought a new 850 watt power supply and video card, I powered up the old system and it posted using the mother board video, I then installed a new video card (geforce RTX 2060) and it too shorted the power supply, at this point I thought that the PCI slots must have taken a hit also, so I ordered all new parts.
Is this possible two different Gforce cards, one from new egg and one from amazon?
This isn't my first build and it's driving me nuts. I've just ordered another video card from Newegg another brand XFX Radeon RX 580 8GB DDR5 PCI Express 3.0 , third times the charm.
