Hi

Oh ya I remember something else, the b660m mortar wifi motherboard needed 2 CPU 4x4 connectors **at the top of the Mobo**, but I only plugged one, I was told by my MOBO reseller that it will work fine with only one of it's connector plugged in as he said hes already done it many times himself with no issues, but I really doubt it, can this be the issue? Was listening to his advice, made a mistake enough to kill the GPU? And is my MOBO and CPU safe rn? Is plugging in only one CPU connector ok? From what I read on other forums they say that the 2nd CPU connector is only needed if your planning to overclock the CPU, but weird thing is that the b660m isn't a overclocking motherboard? I'm actually really confused here, pls help me out **All components are under warranty got them all this week**

The GPU no longer works now, I too think that the PSU is the culprit, but isn't testing it with another GPU, sending it on a suicide mission?

So I just finished one of my many builds, I booted it up and installed windows 10 successfully but while downloading drivers the PC, BSOD keeps coming up. At first I thought it was the driver issues because it's a new build after all, but BSOD happens so frequently that it made it hard for me to install the drivers, when all drivers were finished it was time for the graphics driver, it keeps giving BSOD while downloading the drivers from GeForce experience and when it finally stated that it was finished downloading, the option for new driver installation is still there, like as if nothing was installed. The next day when I got back to trying to figure out what's wrong with the drivers, the screen suddenly turns full red midway through and I was forced to force shut down it, but when trying to boot it back up again, this time the GPU stopped working. The fans and lights on the GPU will both work for about 5 seconds and the lights on the gpu will turn off and no display will show while the fans still spins, there is an output from the DP port but it just shows a black screen with occasionally flickering (video tagged) For my build everything is new except for the GPU which was used. But before building up the rig, I've already stress tested the GPU using 3DMark timespy and it passed the test without any issues. Here's the list of all my components (New) I5 12400F (Used) ZOTAC GTX1080 mini (New) MSI B660M Mortar Wifi (New) Klevv Crass X RGB 8x2GB 3600Mhz (New) Lexar NM620 256Gb (New) FSP HV PRO 650w *The video I tagged in the post it after the GPU died and I'm testing it with the system that I originally stress tested it on, as you can see the GPU it's giving some sort of output but it's flickering Pls ask me about anything any help will be greatly appreciated VID_20220205_003021.mp4

Hey guys I just ran into a problem today, my friend brought a 2nd hand evga gtx 980 classified without knowing that it needs 8x8x6 pcie power cables and he doesn't have that, his non-modular power supply only has a 6x2 single power cable for the GPU so I was wondering if I can get 2 8pin Y splitters for the power cables so that it can turn the 6x2 to a 8x8x8. Now the question is, is it dangerous? Will there be enough power coming through the single cable? I'll list the specs of my psu I know it's a bad psu but I just want to know will it work? And what if it does what are the long term side effects? Thank you guys!

So I had a gtx 980 ti MSI gaming edition and it stopped working So I bought a new CPU and motherboard and was setting my pc up installing my games and stuff, everything went smoothly but when I tried loading up gta 5 (the first game I test) within seconds of the game showing action my computer completely crashed ( not crashed like the pc shut off, but the display just when off, only my monitor backlight was on ) and my sound speakers started buzzing and so I proceed shutting down the pc with a press on the power switch as I didn't know what I was supposed to do nothing was working and I have no display and the speakers were buzzing. After this the card never worked, at first I thought it was a faulty CPU or motherboard but after RMAing them ,it turned out they were in perfect condition. Also before this happen I actually changed the thermal paste of the GPU (I use 99% isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs) and everything worked fine before I loaded up gta which was the first game I tested since replacing the thermal paste and using the new CPU and motherboard. When turning on the pc , my case fans spins, CPU cooler fan spins and the GPU fan spins and GPU lights turns on but after awhile the case/cooler fan will ram up and down before the GPU lights goes off and my monitor turning on showing "no signal" , after awhile the GPU lights turn back on and nothing else happens, the pc will just be on but no display. Things I've tried - RMAing the motherboard and CPU - Trying out different ram slots/ only putting one in at a time - cleaning the GPU again, reapplying thermal paste, cleaning the pics connector - disconnect all drives leaving only an empty hard drive with no OS hoping that maybe it's a driver/software issues and maybe I can get to bios, didn't work - trying different power ports on the power supply - using different power cables - trying all display outputs(hdmi, DP) So far nothing works the issue is still there my GPU won't work and gives no output, please help if you can I would really appreciate it , thank you guys so much

It's a GTX960 stuck Wanted to remove GPU but couldn't find the retention clip on the Pcie slot all screws removed but Graphics card is still stuck HELPPP
