#GPU not displaying on monitor (no GPU fan spin either)

Hello, the issue popped up randomly where I put the PC to sleep and the next day I would try to wake it up with no output on the screen. I tried connecting the GPU directly to the mobo which seemingly worked but it would still have issues waking up after a long period of time. I decided to take apart and rebuild everything which also didn’t fix the problem (forget about the long sleep periods at this point, GPU straight up wouldn’t display). Keep in mind the motherboard is entirely new and I didn’t have this problem prior to buying a new PSU. I tested a new riser of the same gen as the Terra one and tried a new PSU with no luck. The GPU worked flawlessly in my prior PC, I tried a 7600 instead which only requires one 6+2 as opposed to the 6700 XT’s 2x 6+2 and for some reason this worked. Could it really be the GPU? I absolutely zero issues with it in the past 2 years.

Any help is greatly appreciated, ping me at will.

Parts list:
Terra (stock riser)
A620I
7600X
T-Create 2x16GB
6700 XT
SF1000 (stock cables)

If you have the ability to test in a different machine, I see ‘unable to wake from sleep’ often times being issues with Operating system and drivers more commonly.

Otherwise try a fresh windows install if you don’t. (Make sure important info is backed up first)

If it works on a different pc with different drivers/software installed; I’d start there.

if all else fails i might just try to rma the gpu

spiral bobcat
#

strange how i have problems with a higher power gpu

#

which led me to think i had a faulty psu so i tried another one

#

i highly doubt its the riser so it could be the mobo but thats brand new

#

i rma’d the riser just in case

Im confused why you're going to all those lengths

#

you've already answered the issue.

#

If the gpu works on another machine just fine; and not yours

#

the only component left of isolation is software

#

yeah might try a fresh windows install then

#

troubleshooting component isolation is done in 4 steps;

Hardware - We know it works on another machine so phsyical hardware is not failing. Did you test the gpu with the same riser or a different riser? or plugged directly into the other machine? that will rule out hardware there; if you used the same riser on the same machine and it worked; its not the riser.

Software - We don't know if this is cause yet

Environment - Ambient temps too high, outside factors out of your control -- this is not likely your problem so can check this off

~~User based - Did you install it wrong? likely not, are you missing drivers? likely not. cross this off ~~

used 2 risers, both failed on the original pc

knotty kestrel
#

Yep there ya go

#

not the riser

spiral bobcat
#

so i installed the gpu in the dimm slot. is that correct?

Not that this would give you an immediate solution, because safebooting doesnt immediately mean that its not software; it is a lot more likely to show a software issue if it works in safemode.

#

Have you tried booting into safemode yet?

spiral bobcat
#

yeah at some point ill need to try new windows install

#

no
