RAM: 2x4GB

Storage: 1HDD, 1SSD

PSU: 650 watt corsair

You mean it won't turn on anymore?

If so, try reinstalling your other GPU and see if it boots.

You need to send back your GPU maybe.

I don't think it is the GPU that wouldn't stop the computer from booting.

[werto165]

It could be anything then

I put the old card back in and it booted. But it did boot with the new card too when I first installed it. I am not sure if it is the GPU or the PSU. Any advice?

is it working with the new card yes or no ?. have you deleted the old drivers etc etc etc ?

I am working on updating the bios and I will uninstall and reinstall the drivers after seeing it it will boot with new card. Do you think this is a sign the card needs replaced?

if it worked then its not DOA. and unless you are next gen cahrged with static electricity you should be fine. i dont think its a bios problem tho. more like a driver going balistic. wipe and reinstall

so the drivers can cause the PC not to start, I didn't know that. Learned something important.

they might corrupt files. but normaly no, you should always get into bios unless its corrupted aswell. sounds more like ur system isnt getting enought juice

That was my thought but 650 watts should be enough for this build I thought.

maybe psu fault?

it should buy you never knoware you running any OC ?

No OC other than the stock OC on the GPU.

It can, if the motherboard detects the gpu is faulty it can prevent the system from booting to preserve the other hardware from taking damage.

mesure how much it uses. but its starting to sound more and more like a GPU fault

I don't have a wattage meter.

So I tried a different power supply and no boot. I guess I have to RMA it. Thanks for all of you help.
