Yesterday my pc was working in the morning. I get back from work and the fucker won't turn on. So I try basic troubleshooting and the result is that if I remove my gpu it works fine. But if I plug in my gpu to the mobo but not the psu it all turns on, gpu fans included. Then shuts off in a few seconds because not enough juice.
So I'm not precisely sure what the issue is. I've tried unplugging and resetting everything so I don't think it's just a loose cable.
Any thoughts?
Your video card is kill in the worst time for it to be kill. Hope it's still under warranty.
Why the worst time? And I'm not sure. Gtx780 like 2 years old
Not him, but it's the worst time because miners have bought mostly all GPU's which means:
A. You won't find ANY GPU at all or
B. They will be very overpriced
Great. I live in Portugal at the moment so dunno if that helps or hinders.
What's the standard warranty on a gpu I got this one mid 2014 apparently
Depends entirely on brand, but I'd say 3 years is standard warranty so better hope your brand is lifetime warranty.
Bitcoin spiking to an exponential all time high made people want to get in on the crypto meme. When Bitcoin rises, all currencies also trend with it, so you see knock-off coins start to pick up off the ground. Most of those knock-offs don't have ASIC miner chips dedicated to it, so the best way to mine via GPU.
This happened to a cryptocurrency called Ethereum late this past summer when Bitcoin hit $2000, and people bought up GPUs to mine it. Mid-ranged GPU prices, such as the 1060 and 1070, skyrocketed upwards of $200. High and lower end cards were less effected; the 1080/1080ti and 1050/1050ti went up by $50-100. But they were still affected. As bitcoin exploded to $15000, the demand's only gone up.
Nvidia and AMD are both planning on releasing mining-focused GPUs. They typically announce new GPUs at the GTC conference in march, the roll them out later the upcoming summer. Then it might take time for the market to actually adapt, so don't expect to see video cards for good deals until late 2018. Maybe even 2019. Earliest time I'd suggest getting a card is probably going to be Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend in November.
Gigabyte apparently offers 3 years so I'm fucked
EU laws says 2 years at the very least (maybe it was changed to 3 google it up)
>upwards of $200
I meant +$200. As in their original price PLUS another $200. Most 1070s cost more than a 1080 when I looked at them a couple months ago.
Yeah looks like shaft city. Fucks sake. Hope my laptop can run dbfz
Sound like the PSU could also be the problem, something similar happened to me. I wouldn't rush on buying a new card if I were you.
I'm not. Cash situation is not great. I thought psu too but the fucking thing turns on fine with no gpu so it is providing power.
The thing that I'm not sure about is why is the gpu fans coming on too?
The card slot provides power and also sends temperature data to the motherboard so it can handle the fan speeds. Older cards didn't need an extra cable plugged into them at all, they got all their power through the slot.
Yeah but that's my point. Why is the gpu fans coming on and why is the pc turning on at all if the gpu is busted.
It feels to me like the issue is that the gpu is not getting enough juice but I think that it might be a problem on the gpu causing it to not?
If the PC works without the GPU, the GPU is busted, simple as that. Most MOBO's come with a integrated GPU anyway.
The PSU could be damaged but not completely busted, so it might be giving enough power to get past post and even boot into windows for a while but it shit's itself once the system starts asking for more.
Yeah I'm just wondering why with the gpu plugged into the mobo it all turns on including the gpu fans and whatnot. But when plugged into the psu as well nothing turns on
A video card is made up of a lot of different parts. One can be malfunctioning while others work fine. A fan's just a motor, give it power and it will spin. The circuitry is another thing.
You're right that it could just be a lack of power. The problem is you need a new, better PSU to test that out. You could take it to a small, local computer repair place and ask them if they could troubleshoot it, but you might end up paying for them just to tell you it's fucked.
Could be your psu. If a friend lives nearby try installing the gpu in his pc.
does the PSU smell like melted plastic?
check 24pin MOBO power cable and 8pin CPU power cables?

This. My card I paid 300 for is 6 right now. Protect those cards user.
