GPU not working!

THELOU101 · Apr 25, 2014

Hello
I have a Gainward GTS 8800 and whenever i plug in the 6 pin Pci connector to the card that PSU immediately shuts down. I looked at the board and i saw that there was a missing electrical component from the pcb, could it be the problem?.Thanks in advance for the help.

What is your config?

I would suggest you get a new GPU. You have reached the end of the life for that product. Nothing lasts forever but it has lasted a long time.

Yes.. that or maybe your PSU is also down.. it should be able to support newer gpus..

I have a core i5-2500K
Gigabyte GA-H61M-S2PV
6 gb of ram
and a 500w psu
I had a Gigabyte GeForce GT 630 2GB that suddenly stopped working and my friend had this Gainward GTS 8800 so I bought it from him. It worked for a week or so then it started becoming hot when the PC was shutdown so i took it out and when i tried to reinstall it shuts down my PSU.

Should I try another PSU?

illuminatuz · Apr 25, 2014

what brand/manufacturer is your psu? seems like your new GPU is faulty..

illuminatuz :

It is a chinese company named "Active". I don't think its the PSU all the other components still work perfectly.

Should the Gpu receive power from the PSU when it isn't connected to the mobo?

illuminatuz · Apr 25, 2014

Yes.. It will if you connected the PSU to it.. What's the wattage of the PSU..??

THELOU101 · Apr 25, 2014

illuminatuz :

500W

illuminatuz · Apr 25, 2014

Since when are you having this issue??

THELOU101 · Apr 26, 2014

illuminatuz :

Since two days.

I assume that you did not have a GPU before...

First try it with a different GPU.. if it works, the GPU is faulty.. else the PSU needs an upgrade..

THELOU101 · Apr 26, 2014

Is there any way to repair a faulty GPU?

illuminatuz · Apr 26, 2014

THELOU101 :

RMA or Warranty.. that's the only way.. you cannot fix it at home..
