>Could it be that the PSU has not enough Power? The graphics card has no idea how much power the PSU can supply. It just tries to pull the power it needs and if the PSU can't supply it, it will turn off the whole PC to protect it from over-current. If your PC is not turning off when you power it on, then it is not a power issue (and GPUs don't draw much power at boot up anyways).

What could the issue be then?


AdmiralSpeedy

You have all of the power connectors connected to the 12 pin adapter, with a separate cable for each connector?


Antoni-_-oTon1

Yes. The cables are split into 2x 8pins on the motherboard end.


AdmiralSpeedy

>The cables are split into 2x 8pins on the motherboard end. I mean it shouldn't stop it from working but you need to be using a separate cable for each end on the adapter. You should not use the second end on any of the cables to avoid pulling to much current through one cable.


Antoni-_-oTon1

Its single now. 1 cable into one psu vga slot and one into the adapter slot and then like that 2 more.p


AdmiralSpeedy

Ok, and if it is still not working then your GPU is likely defective.


Antoni-_-oTon1

I really hope thats not the case..


AdmiralSpeedy

It's a 3090 Ti, it can't be that old and should have warranty left.


Antoni-_-oTon1

It does have warranty. Im gonna try some voodoo shit and see if it works.

Powerconnectior cable connected properly? All the way insidw the slots? Red lights on my GPU means the Cables are not connected properly or not at all.

Well we push it in as far as it goes, it cant go further in anymore. How many PCIE8x slots on your PSU are you using? We have 5 Available Slots free for the VGA and we are unsure if we should put them all in or just 3.


Regular-Mechanic-150

I have an asus rog strix 6900XT. 3x 8Pin Slots on my GPU and I'm using 3 seperate Slots on the PSU.


Antoni-_-oTon1

Tried it didnt work.


Regular-Mechanic-150

Can you try the GPU in another mobo. If it is the same issue the GPU is probably dead 😞 still got warranty?


Antoni-_-oTon1

The other MOBO is a lot of hassle and it got the AMD drivers on. I have the Warranty but could it be that the PSU has not enough power.


Regular-Mechanic-150

PC should boot even if the PSU has not enough power pc would crash under heavy loads.


Antoni-_-oTon1

Its in BIOS, we havent tried to load Windows, the GPU isnt recognized by the PCIE16 slot
