Don’t loosen the cooler

#

Good 👍

#

Lemme read through it again

#

I’ve heard that if the pc is possessed, it’s the power supply

#

Try reseating the cables going into the psu (if it’s modular)

#

Hang on, let me look up what the error codes mean

#

OH

#

I GOT ONE OF THEM

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:33 PM

#

Hmmmmm. I guess get a new psu? Each component works individually, right?

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:34 PM

#

Ok, the white vga light means that your GPU isn’t being recognized by your motherboard.

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:35 PM

#

Yeah

#

But everything was working on the first boot

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:36 PM

#

And…huh

#

The green boot light, if on for an extended period, means a hardware problem

#

So, I think it means that for some reason, your GPU is either not working properly or isn’t compatible with your motherboard.

#

The fact that everything worked at flyer first boot, and then stopped intermittently, made me think it was the psu

A 7900xt is 100% compatible with an x670E motherboard

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:38 PM

#

Then the GPU must be having a problem, because I am almost certain the problem is the GPU

#

I has idea

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

@solar grotto are you able to test the gpu on a different system?

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

If you have another computer, swap the GPU out with your current one, and see if that works. If not, we know that the problem is the GPU

#

Oh

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:39 PM

#

Great minds think alike 😁

#

😂

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:40 PM

#

Guess so

#

Ok, so all @solar grotto needs to do now is test the GPU out on a different computer

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

Yes

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:41 PM

#

Well

#

It could, but it is unlikely

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

If anything happens, it’s the psu.

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:42 PM

#

Eh, I’d say GPU

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:42 PM

Running cyberpunk for a couple of hours is not a gpu issue

#

Here’s one, I can’t speak for the quality, but it’s Amazon’s choice so…

#

Yeah try that too

solar grotto Jul 25, 2023, 10:45 PM

#

serene terrace Running cyberpunk for a couple of hours is not a gpu issue

Again, it could have died overnight, but that’s very unlikely

serene terrace Jul 25, 2023, 10:46 PM

#

Yeah

#

Maybe

#

Steps to maybe figure this mess out
1. Update bios 2. Test gpu in another system 3. Swap out psu

All of those are genius

I’ve laid them out in I believe easiest to hardest
