I'm completely lost

kliukevicius · Nov 12, 2016

Hi , so recently I bought r9 380 graphics card , but it didn't work in my PC , but it should have worked , because my PC met the requirements. I took my PC to a computer store. After a few days they returned my PC to me. They said that my PC didnt met the requirements ( but my did) , and they also said that my graphics card was working fine. After that I came home and inserted my old GTX 660 , but it also didn't work. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Integrated graphics work fine

I was playing with this build just fine, about a week ago

madmatt30 · Nov 12, 2016

Modecom 600w ??
This one ??

If so that's a 400w PSU with a 600w badge & only has 1 x6 pin power connector.

How exactly were you powering a 380 from it??

I wasn't , i was powering my old GTX 660 , but now , it also doesn't work

Your power supply only has one PCI-E 6-Pin power cable. I'm guessing the question was your old GTX660 required one PCI-E power connection from the power supply and that worked just fine. The new R9-380 requires at least two PCI-E 6-Pin power cables. Since your power supply only has one, how where you attempting to power the R9-380?

My R9 380 requires 1 8pin connector, so I bought an adaptor. I guess that the adapter isn't powerful enough. But my GTX 660 should work , but it doesn't. What's the problem?

Possible the shop attempted to power the 380 using molex to pci-e adapters and that low quality PSU couldn't handle it and failed.

kliukevicius · Nov 12, 2016

But the fans of both graphics cards were spinning , and integrated graphics also worked fine.

Wolfshadw · Nov 12, 2016

Agreed. More than likely, when you attempted or when the shop attempted to power the R9-380, the power supply could not provide sufficient power and has failed to the point where it cannot power either graphics card.

kliukevicius :

It only takes a few watts of power to power the fans. Integrated graphics don't require very much power either.

Absolutely my guess too .
That's 3 of us in agreement.

kliukevicius · Nov 12, 2016

Okey , thanks guys. Could you recommend me a cheap PSU?

kliukevicius · Nov 12, 2016

My friend could sell this PSU to me really cheaply: Antec Ea-550 Platinum. Should I buy it?

Wolfshadw · Nov 12, 2016

Depends on how hard it's been used/abused. New, I'd say it's a good deal. Ask your friend if you can test it out for a day or so.
