Posted September 28, 2018 There may be some issue with the motherboard, or at least the PCIe slot. Try using the GPU in another system to find out if it's truly busted. What model PSU did you use for the replacement? I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 28, 2018 I'd suggest a power supply issue, especially with a new power supply. It doesn't require much diiference, just an instability in the sine wave, or a little difference in the supply voltage. unfortunantly the only way to confirm this is to get into the nitty gritty with a multimeter and actually start measuring the difference between supply and demand voltages as it goes through the motherboard which I suspect is where your problem really lies with an old motherboard. Much like replacing a motor in a car puts strain on every other component, a computer can react the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
