Dying Graphics Card?

[DieselDoesIt]

Hey, I recently posted about my pc in Power Supplies,

because everytime I try to start furmark or any games, my pc just restarts without any signals, just straight black screen.

SPECS:

Motherboard: Supermicro X7DB8

CPU: 1x Intel Xeon 5450

RAM: 32GB DRR2

GPU: MSI RX 470 ARMOR OC (4GB)

PSU: CHIEFTEC 500W

 

As I said, I have posted in Power Supplies section, and a few nice guys told me that my psu is dying and thats why its restarting. I got a 650W psu, and hooked it up ONLY to the videocard with the 8pin. Jumpstarted the psu, everything started fine.  I checked the temps they were normal, GPU 12V was: 11.560V

I started up furmark, instantly restarted again. Is the problem with my gpu?, someone has any idea? I'm out of ideas now

If thats idle voltage readout, that does sound very low. Considering I never even heard of that brand before I wouldnt be surprised if that PSU is absolute garbage, also why havent you just connected the new PSU completely?

It is idle voltage readout, I heard about voltages in a video and they said +/- 5% is okay. And I didn't connected it completly because I wanted to try out if theres a power supply problem or a gpu problem:/  I don't know what to do, by they way its a miner card. I bought it from ebay like 7months ago, everything was working fine, I installed a new normal bios to it. And it was working fine, it started this problem like 1-2months ago

While it is within spec, it's barely within spec.

And the fact that it's a mining card might be your problem.

I don't know, it has been working like this for months without any problem. I'm trying to find a fresh vbios but seems to be the newest is flashed to it.

If it was working before, I suspect the power supply.

This happened when Linus tried to game on a "1000W" power supply from AliExpress - as soon as the GPU tried to pull any power, the PSU couldn't provide the power, shut down, and the system rebooted.

Seems like, I installed another VBIOS, and seems like its holding up a bit.

Yep - 10.7V is very much out of spec.

Here - take a look at the PSU tier list and pick a Tier A or B unit:

I'd advise 550W or higher, though I could be wrong about that.

Okay, what psu should I get?

I believe it's Tier C. Maybe, but not advised.

No.

 

Pick a few PSUs from Tier A or B, not C or D.

A lot of these aren't available in my country(Hungary), and if they are, they are horrible prices, I know that I can't cheap out on PSU(as I experienced with this chieftec "psu") but currently I can't afford 100$ powersupplies

Well, you can:
1. Save up and get a better power supply

2. Get a temporary PSU and get a better one later
