So to give a little context. Randomly my pc had been crashing, the fans still spin, the lights are all on, and I can hear my friends in discord. My monitors go blank and I’m forced to restart completely. I was restarting it and removing ram sticks earlier to try and see if that was it and for some reason now it won’t even display at all.
#PC Crashed but power stays on

See if you can find a user guide for your motherboard to find out what an orange light means (likely it's different if it's solid or blinking) that should give you an idea of what's going on
To take a wild guess, i'd say seeing as the monitors are the first toi go and the PC 'functions' then it could be GPU related. If your CPU has an iGPU then try taking out the GPU and see what happens

specs of the pc?
gritty lintel
R9 7950X
RTX 4070ti Super
I can’t remember the mobo off the top of my head, but it’s a white asus board
I got it to boot just now, the stick I replaced earlier wasn’t fully in properly
What gets me, is the pc was running for about a month, then just randomly this started happening
warm pendant
Yea i've had that its weird
steel depot
strange thing i have heard more and more people with that issue
warm pendant
Could just be a small knock or dust
steel depot
but only on nvidia
gritty lintel
Yeah idk what to do
steel depot
maby remount?
warm pendant
Try using it till it crashes again?
gritty lintel
Not overheating
gritty lintel
Try using it till it crashes again?
It does it every time
warm pendant
Or has it crashed again?
warm pendant
It does it every time
rip
gritty lintel
Some times earlier then others
I opened streamlabs earlier and it crashed immediately
warm pendant
huh
gritty lintel
Played a game for 15 mins then crashed
warm pendant
odd
gritty lintel
Just whenever it wants to
I’ve had so many restless nights trying to fix this mf
😂
gritty lintel
That was the first time I opened it since this has been happening
I haven’t
I think the igpu idea is a good one
warm pendant
I'd say try that, it sounds like when the GPU starts being used a bit it just dies
gritty lintel
What would cause that? Just a faulty one?
warm pendant
Even after use for a month?
It's refund time!
warm pendant
Definately, the card manufacturer has at least a 1 year warranty even if the retailer dosent
steel depot
go for a 7900 xt
gritty lintel
Thinking nvidia is the problem? @steel depot

maby

AMD is better value for performance (Other than 4090 but who needs that)
gritty lintel
Jesus
warm pendant
Damn, maybe nvidia Quality Control isnt doing too well
steel depot
nah they make FAT gpues now
warm pendant
So yea try the iGPU and lmk how it goes, good luck haha
gritty lintel
It’s on rn, if it crashes again I’ll rip that mf out
warm pendant
furmark, make it suffer!!
gritty lintel
Bump
Still having this issue
Going to try to take out the you and use integrated
gritty lintel
Im pretty sure my gpu was shipped to me with broken pins
