Graphic Cards PC won't boot with the GPU plugged in

[nRiTeCh]

Gpu is not letting the pc start. tried with alternate PSU same result. Psu makes a clicking sound and refuse to start. Remove the GPU and everything is fine, using old gpu back up card to test the system working fine with it.

Didn't get any burnt smell no spark nothing. just played games 2 for two hours before this happened.

Which gpu ?

Which gpu ?

My main Gpu which i used daily Zotac RTX 2060

Don't buy a new PSU then. PSU's have a short prevention protection which is kicking in and preventing PC bootup.

Not buying one it has warranty for 10 years. will ask for replacement

Don't go though the hassle with getting a replacement it will help nothing and lead to unnecessary e-waste / RMA.

Are u telling him no to RMA his dead GPU?

Or is @panther trying to RMA his PSU because of his dead GPU?

The latter. He's tested his dead GPU with another PSU and it does not work, hence telling him to avoid e-waste and not RMA his PSU as it's not going to fix his issue.

Hey if you can send me the pics of the card with issue in detail. I know someone who revives these kind of gpu's. Might worth a shot.

hey, can you share the details. i have a dead 1060 6gb

Yea as mentioned I too have this assumption but what baffles me is why and how does the ram rgb auto turn on if the PSU isn't turning on? Perhaps it's the 5v or/and 3.3v lines are active and just the 12v rail is being suspended?


Update: 15:56 8th June

PC boots fine with a GT 710
PC does not boot with the 1080Ti even with another known good PSU. There are 0 signs of power. Still no fans, debug LEDs or anything. Just the RGB on the RAM that auto turns itself on without any input on from me.


Using a spare 6pin PCIE power cable with open wires, I checked the +12v and ground lead on the card with a multimeter, set to continuity mode, and it shows 100% continuity (it beeped), indicating there is a short. Seems obvious that the yellow and black should not show 100% continuity, right? Adding @rsaeon who is also an expert here on PSUs and can help confirm the previous statement.

No solution found in my case. But there are a few reasons why the short happens, some are fixable some are not. I sold the dead GPU on OLX.

Have a similar issue for more than half a year now. Got every component apart from my SSD and new 750W Coolermaster PSU replaced and it still persists. PC won't even boot from GPU now while I couldn't even play games that were more than a decade old because the screen would go black and then the system would go into autorestart.

Prior to replacement the system would go black and crash sometimes even when not running any games.
