Hey all,

I was just normally using my PC when it shut down. As I was booting, I noticed that the GPU had a flashing white light above its power cable.

Had no luck searching the issue, and this never happened before.

Any leads on what this may be?

Thanks in advance.

Update: Just noticed that the fans aren't moving. Still have no clue on what's going on..

The above answer saying it's "just connected" is wrong. It blinks if it is getting abnormal power. Check to make sure it's fully seated, I had this problem on my gigabyte gtx 1080.

in my case the cable wasn't full connected, it was a bit loose, so make sure it's snapped in. Maybe check the connection from the gtx cord to the psu too, if you have a modular psu
