RTX 2080 super code 45 can't seem to fix

[bleak blaze]

I have a 2080 and my PC is no longer recognizing it in device manager (only visible via hidden devices) and when I click on it, my PC only responds with the device needs to be connected. I have plugged in and unplugged the card from the PCI port and changed the cables and constantly checked for updates and drivers to just be up to date and I can't find any help online either. I as well haven't spotted any damage to the pins on the GPU

Can you take a photo of the PC from this angle

[bleak blaze]

It's a optiplex 3020 with a SSD and a GPU in it

@bleak blaze

Make sure you are connecting the display to the GPU. Your motherboard has display ports yes, but the GPU also has them, to run off the GPU you need to connect them to the GPU, not the motherboard.

Restart after doing this.

@solemn maple I know bro I just had had to use my integrated graphics to use discord

And to find fixes

Like I said it's plugged in but my computer is saying it's not (hence code 45)

Also the led on the card isn't working or the fans

So there isn't any power to card from the motherboard

[solemn maple]

Did you make sure to plug in the dedicated power connector from the PSU?

[bleak blaze]

yeah

[solemn maple]

Is this issue still ocurring?

[bleak blaze]

Yeah

[bleak blaze]

i looked online everywhere and i cant find any fixes and i can wait i know ur busy bro

[solemn maple]

This does sound like a hardware issue, not necessarily a GPU issue but a motherboard or PSU issue is also possible.

If you do this:

1. Shutdown
2. Disconnect all hard drives, SSDs, etc from mobo
3. Connect all monitor(s) to dGPU
4. Boot up

Do you see video on the monitor? You should see bios

[bleak blaze]

Dude I'm so sorry but I'm about to go to bed and I will follow these instructions and get you updated as soon as I can and agian I'm so sorry

[solemn maple]

No worries, timezones suck

[bleak blaze]

I shut it down and unplugged all the cables to my ssd (internal and external) started the computer and still no display I'm running tests on the bios and the PC hasn't given any power to the card (resulting in code 45 ofc)

I am currently displaying through IGPU

[solemn maple]

If bios is not displayed when connected through the dGPU then it is a hardware problem.

[bleak blaze]

So what does that mean I have to do

@solemn maple

[solemn maple]

Gotta start ruling stuff out. Test the same GPU in another system or another GPU in yours.

[bleak blaze]

Ok

[bleak blaze]

The GPU is the problem I plugged it up to another computer and no light or display

Im pretty sure it's within warranty since I got it in July after my 1060 had the same problem

Well the led would light up but no display on the 1060

@solemn maple sry for re ping idk if the reply pinged or nah

[solemn maple]

Fyi, even though it's not gonna help you now, I highly recommend upgrading this PSU. If you've had multiple GPUs die with it then I would replace it. Consult this tier list when doing so: https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
