I recently bought a used ASUS DUAL GTX GeForce 1070 8GB for my most recent build. Just to make sure I actually got what was advertised, I tried to plug it into my existing build. However, my 450W PSU did not have the required 8 pin PCI-E connector to power it. But when I did plug in my 6 pin connector, a white led on the back of the card lit up. I didn't think much about it, saying "maybe it lights up to indicate it's on?" or " it probably doesn't have enough power"
But now I'm worried, I just took it over to my friend's house where we temporarily installed the GPU into his computer which has a 650W power supply. And once again, the white LED lit up. However, this time the computer would not boot/show an image. and the monitor shut off saying that there was no input.
I've tried my darndest to figure out what the white light means, and why my GPU is preventing my friend's computer from booting/showing images. But there doesn't seem to be a lot about this on the internet, and there isn't any info about it in the manual or installation guide. Some people have had the same problem with other 1070 cards and it ended up being a power problem, but now I am uncertain due to the fact that I powered it with a PSU that should have been able to handle it.
Does anyone know what the constant white LED light on the back of my GPU means?
thanks in advance!
