Posted March 26, 2017 (edited) Tried to overclock my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 using AMD's Wattman. After a few random shutdowns while benchmarking (Heaven), the system is totally not working with the GPU plugged in, but with it not connected, my motherboard is able to light up the CPU fan and chassis fans. Please help!(Don't think I can afford a new GPU) Specs: Asus X370 Pro Ryzen 1700 Coolermaster V650 Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 4GB Corsair Vengeance 16GB 3200Mhz EDIT: Just wanna add that I have already tried resetting my CMOS Edited March 26, 2017 by Arkeror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 26, 2017 Author Don't really have another PSU, but if that can be a potential problem, I'll try borrowing one from a friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Coolermaster PSU isn't too bad for your build. Unless it's defected. Try MSI Afterburner or Sapphire Trixx to see if it helps. AMD Wattman is kind of suck.

Well, the system is sorta dead, so I can't really test the system at all...Without the GPU connected, the system chassis is able to light up, but nothing will light up at all if the GPU is connected. But I have no idea how to get a video output from my Asus X370 Pro motherboard as I usually get my output from the GPU. Yes, the Asus X370 Pro has a HDMI port, but when I try to connect my monitor there, I don't get any signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarification, so if the PSU is working since it can power the rest of the system, is the most likely cause the GPU then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AMD Ryzen 7 is kind of new. Could be your mobo needs a update BIOS or some tweaks. Anyway, I power my system a 4790K and RX480 with overclocking with a 450w PSU. So wattage-wise your PSU isn't a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried that already, but since i overclocked it in Wattman, would it also change that? EDIT: After trying with a new GPU, my system worked. Ende up the GPU died Edited March 27, 2017 by Arkeror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry for reviving this post, i just had the same thing happening to me yesterday. I only OC'd by 70mhz on the core, and with a slight voltage bump. Mine also crashed a few times, and now it won't boot as well with the drivers installed. I hope RMA gets through, i'm not getting a AMD card again... i never had this issue before ever. A slight overclock shouldn't brick your card this easily, at least not in these modern times.
