Hi, all! I have an interesting problem that maybe you can help me solve! I bought a used GTX 970 off of a guy for dirt cheap, and went to test it in my system - but my system doesn't start with the 970 installed. The lights flash in my system for maybe a quarter second when I press the power button, and nothing else happens. I tried resetting CMOS, reseating the card, using a different slot, changing BIOS options to detect only the discreet GPU (had to uninstall the 970 to get to BIOS), and nothing.
BTW, I have a GTX 980 Ti that works 100% fine in this system in all slots with zero issues... so I have a feeling it isn't a PSU issue - the 980 Ti has a higher power draw and works flawless.
Any advice about the 970? Is it fried/did I get ripped off?
My rig is as follows:
I7 4790K
ROG Maximus VII Formula MB
24 GB Corsair 1600 MHz RAM
Corsair TX850M PSU
Lepa Aquachanger 240 AIO cooler
PNY 480 GB SSD
Toshiba 5 TB HDD
