GPU problems.

[cliff60]

bought a Palit RTX4090 game rock. it arrived this morning and fitted it. all the lights lit up and the fans were going but no signal on the monitor.

 

Reset CMOS by taking the 2032 battery out and left it out for 10 mins and put a flathead screw driver across the CMOS reset pins on the MB and pushed the power button on the case for 10 mins then put the battery back in and tried again. same thing power but no signal.

 

So took it out again and put my GTX1080TI back in and got no signal from that. so took that back out and tried the intergrated GPU on the MB and again no signal. couldnt even get to post to try and get into BIOS.

 

Put the 1080TI back in and booted up again and left it for about 2 hrs before it finnaly booted up and got into windows but no signal for 2 hrs.

 

downloaded the latest drivers from GeForce experiance and rebooted and again no signal for about 30 mins. before windows finnaly loaded up.

 

so looks like the 4090 screwed something up somewhere.

 

Ryzen 9 3900XT.

32Gb DDR4 RAM 4 sticks.

Gamemax 1050w PSU

MSI MPG X570 gaming edge wifi.

Boot drive 500Gb HDD.

1TB nvme SSD. empty

1TB SATA SSD. games storage

1TB HDD. empty.

 

boot

 

 

drive is about 5 years old but all the other parts r about 1 year old.

Odd, why do you have the system on HDD? sound like the old HDD has had it if one of its cables are bad, try some new sata cables, if thats not the issue id say HDD is dying, back up your data, unplug it and install windows to that nvme

[cliff60]

all new sata 3 cables. so dont think it a cable problem. ran diagnostics on the HDD and no probs found. been thinking about putting a clean install on the nvme and using that as a boot drive but keep my data on the old drive. only documents and photos on there which wont copy to another drive. tried it before and lost lots of suff. all my games r on a sata 3 SSD. the NVME has only been in there a few months and havnt got round to putting anything on it yet,

well the 4090 is working today after i fitted it again. so must of been the PSU not liking it at 1st.
