Basically my system won't turn on and the motherboard says it is the gpu. Is there any way it is something other then my GPU (even tho the pc worked with my brothers GPU) or is there any way I can test the gpu if I don't have another system that can handle my GPU (doesn't fit in brothers pc or power supply doesn't have the headers)? It is an rtx 3060 and I got it used so no warranty.
#GPU help

If there is no way to test it or it can't be the other parts I would appreciate a few recommendations for a new GPU around 300€, preferably an AMD one cause I will be running Linux and from what I have heard AMD GPUs are better on Linux then Nvidia GPUs.

6750xt or 7700xt if you want another amd gpu
though you really need to ay about your system's full specs

6750xt or 7700xt if you want another amd gpu
I had a Nvidia GPU previously
prisma mountain
though you really need to ay about your system's full specs
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
Ram: 32gb
Motherboard: idk Asus something
Storage: 2t. HDD and a 512gg nvme ssd
GPU: MSI gaming something rtx 3060

psu =?
languid siren
do you have any other gpu's you can use?
prisma mountain
do you have any other gpu's you can use?
As I said before I tested my PC with my brothers GPU and it worked
He has a GTX 1050 ti if I remember correctly
languid siren
yeah, but to check if the 3060 is having an issue, if you can use a gpu in the top slot and the 3060 in a lower slot
you can use either gu-z or hwinfo to see if it detects it
prisma mountain
you can use either gu-z or hwinfo to see if it detects it
Will it detect it if both power cables aren't connected?
languid siren
Will it detect it if both power cables aren't connected?
nope, you need to make sure both gpu's get power
prisma mountain
That will be a slight problem
The other GPU power cable for my power supply melted
I will figure something out
languid siren
if that melted, you need a new psu as well
prisma mountain
It melted like a year ago and it has been working fine since then
Wait
Maybe it melted again
languid siren
i would not trust that psu with anything
prisma mountain
Well I don't have the funds to get a new one rn
languid siren
you have potentially killed the gpu using it
prisma mountain
It melted cause I was using a daisy chain cable
At least that's what support told me
prisma mountain
Cable is not melted
languid siren
doesn't matter if a different sent hasn't melted
the fact the first lot has indicates an issue that you shouldn't be using the psu to begin with
prisma mountain
Support said it should be fine
languid siren
yeah, no, a melted cable happens when a short overloads a component and the current is to much for the cable
support was quite literally giving you bad advice
prisma mountain
If it was the power supply can I get seasonic to send me a new one and money for a GPU since the power supply broke mine?
prisma mountain
you can use either gu-z or hwinfo to see if it detects it
I'm booted and both gpus should have power
Do you know of anything for Linux that would show them?
languid siren
not directly no, i know only for windows
prisma mountain
Would nvidia-smi work?
languid siren
maybe, i dunno
prisma mountain
Currently Linux doesn't like having 2 GPUs
prisma mountain
you can use either gu-z or hwinfo to see if it detects it
It detects it
Does that mean that the GPU is fine
???
languid siren
quite possibly fine, though if you're getting no display with it, it could be a vbios issue
prisma mountain
How do I fix that?
languid siren
update the vbios for use with uefi
prisma mountain
How do I do that?
prisma mountain
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xsEvdIrNGc
The video shows it while only 1 GPU is installed
How do I do it when I have 2 installed
languid siren
that's due to the person running the system primarily off the igpu on the cpu they're using, the same pricipal works with the gpu you want to do the bvbios update on is in a second slot

It didn't work
languid siren
check the vbios is correct for the gpu you have
prisma mountain
It is
You can see the page I downloaded it from in the background
It is the only one for a 12gb rtx 3060
languid siren
not the only one
prisma mountain
Wtf?
languid siren
specifically towards your card
you tried using one for a gaming X instead of a gaming X trio
prisma mountain
I don't see gaming x trios in the link you sent
I found it by looking at all the msi 12gb gddr6 card bioses
Still didn't work
Does this mean it is borked?

Still shows this with a bios from this link
I think my card has no bios for some reason
languid siren
essentially wiped
prisma mountain
Is there a way to get a new one on it?
languid siren
nvflash mainly
can you take a pic of your gpu, just want to make sure it's as the box said
languid siren
when you put it on the bottom did it look like this on the shroud?
prisma mountain

Yes

Got an error code this time
languid siren
that's a better sign
the subsystem id is '1462 3903' and the device id is '10de 2504'
prisma mountain
And they need to be the same?
languid siren
so yours could actually be an lhr version of it
languid siren
when its a normal (non-lhr) version device id = 10de 2503
prisma mountain
So I need an LHR bios
languid siren
yeah, which isn't easiy to find
languid siren
yup
prisma mountain
Fuck
I found a LHR version for the gaming x non trio version and 2 numbers are different in the subsystem id
prisma mountain
But as far as I can tell everything else is the same
languid siren
ventus 3x lhr bios you could try but i doubt it'll work
prisma mountain
ventus 3x lhr bios you could try but i doubt it'll work
WE HAVE A WINNER
Should 8 try the gaming x non trio version since that might work better?
languid siren
otherwise you could try the gaming x lhr
languid siren
Should 8 try the gaming x non trio version since that might work better?
yeah
closest 2 bios's due to it being lhr
prisma mountain
otherwise you could try the gaming x lhr
Also works
Gonna go with the gaming x one
languid siren
okies, lets hope this works to fix it
prisma mountain
okies, lets hope this works to fix it
Hwinfo detects it but not GPU z
Hwinfo detects it as a non trio card
languid siren
Hwinfo detects it but not GPU z
subsystem id is what determins the card label
prisma mountain
Should I try the other one?
languid siren
can do
prisma mountain
Did it work?
languid siren
Did it work?
try a restart and see
prisma mountain
Last time it didn't show the error
Hwinfo detects it but GPU z doesn't
Again
Neither does device manager
Can I ask someone to send me their bios if the have the same card?
languid siren
Can I ask someone to send me their bios if the have the same card?
yeah, just have to make sure it's an lhr one
sorry, cant do better dude
prisma mountain
yeah, just have to make sure it's an lhr one
Tech chat told me to go to reddit so I made a post there and will go to sleep now hoping for a response in the morning
prisma mountain
sorry, cant do better dude
could this problem be caused by the psu?
languid siren
psu would have fried the gpu completely, i've not heard of it causing a vbios issue
prisma mountain
6750xt or 7700xt if you want another amd gpu
is the 6750xt or the 7600xt better?
languid siren
is the 6750xt or the 7600xt better?
6750xt
the 7600xt = rx 7600 with double the ram but same bus meaning it can't use all 16gb vram but only 8gb of it, it makes the 7600xt a failure of a product
