Does my PSU can't handle my GPU?

Marauder_Murderer · Jan 4, 2017

Hey guys so I buy this 2nd hand AMD Radeon HD 6700 and it was working for like 3 days and while I was playing a game called "The Forest" after 20 minutes of gameplay suddenly my game crashed and i tried to restart it and there it started it just display the first display of the boot then just stops in their. So I was thinking, Is there something wrong with my GPU or the 500W PSU?

Try reinstalling your video drivers.

Try going back to the start, remove the GPU and boot back into windows using your prior GPU or the iGPU on your board.

Then clear out the drivers and re-install the new GPU and drivers, and see what happens. Maybe you bought a dud.

But my old GPU is dead but i forgot to tell you that it doesn't boot with the gpu and no POST Beep.

What was your old GPU?

Whats the rest of your system specs?

my old gpu was nvidia GT440 and where do I find my system's specs? sorry im just new

Well unfortunately if it won't boot its hard to pull that up.

You don't have anything that tells you what processor you have, motherboard, etc?

Did you buy it pre built or build yourself?

Rogue Leader :

Its Pre Build
my processor is Intel Core 2 Duo and my motherboard is Gigabyte G31M-ES2C

Rogue Leader · Jan 7, 2017

OK,

That motherboard has a VGA port on it.

The blue port on the bottom.

Remove your new GPU and plug into that port with your monitor and see if it boots up.

Marauder_Murderer · Jan 7, 2017

Rogue Leader :

yes it did boot up

Rogue Leader · Jan 8, 2017

Ok so it does work.

If thats the case then I agree the new GPU is dead.

Marauder_Murderer · Jan 11, 2017

Rogue Leader :

Ummmm nvm i just bought a new psu and it works

Rogue Leader · Jan 11, 2017

Glad it worked out. Realize that diagnosing your question over a forum is far different than sitting in front of the computer. Can't catch everything.

Rogue Leader :

It didn't really though because there is an another problem......my GPU's fan seems doesn't spin and no display on the GPU

Rogue Leader · Jan 11, 2017

Marauder_Murderer :

So.... the new PSU did not fix the problem.

Because you need a new GPU. Hence the original assessment is correct. Why did you buy a new PSU?

Marauder_Murderer · Jan 11, 2017

Rogue Leader :

No u got it wrong...my old PSU can handle my GPU before, it was working before until my game crashed and don't boot then my I.T. guy said that my PSU cannot handle my GPU so i buy a new PSU online and then poof my fan might have something to do with it because my GPU will lit but its fan doesn't spin

If you had a 500w psu before it should have handled the Radeon card fine, unless it was an absolute garbage PSU. Do you know the brand? And what did you replace it with?

Its possible also someone sold you a defective GPU, you did buy it secondhand.

Rogue Leader :

it could be defective and my new PSU is Rise PSU 600w and i think its the GPU too....it might be crap....Thanks for your help

Rogue Leader · Jan 13, 2017

No problem. You shouldn't have bought that Rise PSU its also junk.

Corsair, Superflower, Antec, Seasonic thats what you want.
