System stats:

Ryzen 5 1600

MSI B350 PC MATE

16GB RAM corsair vengeance LPX

corsair 550W PSU

 

My main graphic card is the 1050 TI, but my friend gave me a MSI 1070 Gaming x 8GB that doesnt work. he used it for a short time then it broke. so he gave me it and if i can fix it i can keep.

I did some troubleshoot but didn't came far. when i put the 1070 in and start the computer it gives 3 beeps and then won't boot and just stays on. the 1070 gets warmer overtime and the LEDs work if i keep the system running but more wont happen. i tried putting a VGA and then a HDMI in my motherboard but nothing comes on screen.

So I'm asking here if you guys maybe know a fix. or if you need more information please let me know.

Does the machine ever boot into OS? If so, then you can try things like, if possible without it closing, downclocking the GPU and seeing if you can at least get it stable. Might help taking the cooler off of it and giving it a clean out aswell as possibly changing the thermal paste on it etc. Thats all i can think of personally, im sure other people know more.

Take it apart and clean it. A picture of the PCB will be a good place to start

i cleaned and re-pasted my MSI Gaming X 1070 as it had artifacts after delivery by courier.

 

- slightest overclock, pc froze up

- disassemble, clean, redid thermal paste and reassemble.

- fixed... it now turbo's to 2 Ghz

 

temps never changed before or after - the thermal paste was upset by bad packaging, seems like a bad hot spot but the temp sensors didn't show it.

 

anyway i hope your's is an easy fix like this, mine at least still booted to windows.

best of luck... 3 beeps doesn't sound good at all..

thermal paste already replaced today, didn't work. and the card is already pretty clean it looks just new.

@Bariluto what about taking off the aluminum plate and heatsink on top of the PCB? They're covering up some components still

 

also the back side

hey there was a problem with memory at some stage with a lot of GTX 1070's (possibly to do with samsung memory timings)

put card in and boot to on-board graphics and flash the bios.

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?manufacturer=MSI&model=GTX+1070

 

worth a shot i guess.

 

This post mentions the issue:

@Bariluto nothing looks damaged, try software fix as @Apogee777 suggested or else maybe the silicon is dead and you cant really fix it.
