Please help? Potential GPU or PSU issue?

A GTX 750 does not strain the system nowhere near a 2080Ti. 

 

The only way you can really know is to test the GPU in a different system.

But why does it need to strain the system?

 

Im not trying to benchmark I’m just trying to see if the GPU will work or not right?

 

Technically if it is able to simply boot up at 1440p and play a YouTube video it would prove that my GPU is the problem.

Now that you mention it what about the motherboard?

 

Is there any way to tell if the motherboard is having problems coordinating with the GPU? Like the GPU has to plug into the socket but does the socket ever have problems itself?

 

Honestly GPU defect is the worst case scenario and I’m hoping it could be anything else but that

As said, do one problem. Try a new system, ask anyone close. They might wonder if you're sane at first. But if you explain they'll hopefully understand and be willing to help

Oh hey I called my brother and he said he had his old 970 in the garage..

 

Would this work to test?

I'm not fully sure here. But I THINK what he/she means for that to be an issue. The PSU needs to be strained more than what a 750 can do. A 2080Ti can pull a lot more than a 2080Ti don't arrest me on this, but I think it's what was meant.

Trying a different GPU is a step to prove the motherboard, PSU or some other parts are bad.

It's done when your GPU doesn't output an image or the system doesn't boot. In your case, the system outputs an image that is BAD, and in your case the system boots normally with the integrated GPU. Actually, in your case, trying a different GPU makes no sense, unless it's maybe a similar card or a one that draws more.

I think the 970 can work

I have to try something though.

 

What do I do if I have my brother put MY card in his system and it works just fine?

 

What would be the next step in that situation?

Yeah that is pretty much the same as trying it in a new system. And than it also can show if the PSU is the faulty component

I should mention sometimes even the iGPU doesn’t work and it won’t boot up at all it will just keep restarting.

 

But when it does manage to boot up it’s always the iGPU working and the GPU labeled as “not working” in device manager and Nvidia control panel inaccessible.

 

However I think it is important to mention sometimes it just restarts over and over just because I don’t understand why that would happen if it’s just the GPU and everything else is fine.

When I was looking for the 970 I found my brothers old PSU as well! It’s a 750W Bronze but it should be enough.

 

I specifically remember the reason I got an 850W is because I wanted significant headroom but I do remember building my PC and knowing that 750W is still more than enough.

You can proably try hooking that up and seeing what happens

80 bronze isn't a problem if it's a short one time test

I’d much rather it be a PSU issue.

 

From what I’ve been told Corsair is pretty good with honoring their lifetime warranties.

 

Its so depressing paying so much money for a component to fail like that in a few years

Trust me, it won't. But if it does, the next steps would be checking the motherboard.

Wait, are you trying the IGPU while the faulty card is inside? Ofc it will have issues booting, you have to take the faulty card out.

Bronze is just the efficiency. Basically it’s an indicator of how much electricity is wasted but it doesn’t really affect the components at all.

Yeah I was booting it with the card in. Because I was trying to figure out if that was the problem and if so how to fix it.

I know, it can have something to do with overvoltage but not often

You said the IGPU works fine right?

Who wouldn't at this time. Imagine it happened 10 months ago, then it would be even worse.

Take that highly-likely-faulty card out.

Haha fair, the PSU is fairly easy to replace too

Yeah when it boots up it does. Sometimes it takes a while to boot because it just keeps restarting over and over and over.

 

But like I said I was trying it with the GPU still in.

I am wondering if this will keep happening when you take the expensive paperweight out.

Okay, I mean you could tear the whole thing apart and put it together and just do that as a test, but don't think it's worth it to be honest

If EVGA honors their warranty the GPU should be replaced. The sticker is still there fresh and clean and totally unblemished.

 

If they don’t make 2080 Tis anymore they could instead provide a 3080 Ti or even a normal 3080.

 

Afterall this isn’t something I did wrong. I’d be willing to bet ALOT of money that if an expert opened up the card and evaluated everything they would say I operated the GPU within its advertised specifications at all times.

 

I say that because I know some people cause the damage to the GPUs themselves on accident.

If they'll do it performance to performance, you'll get a 3070 or a 3070Ti

I know EVGA are good at warranty. 

I mean if an expert is error minded. He can find a supposed error in absolutely everything. 

 

But contact them and explain everything and check if an RMA is possible
