Windows hanging at starting windows

[wickedlyandy]

I recently built a pc, and it ran great for about 2 weeks. However, upon booting it up yesterday I got a hanging issue on starting windows. After raging a bit, and messing with everything I narrowed it down to the graphics card. My card is a evga gtx 670. I can boot my pc up using the onboard gpu. I tried uninstalling the nvidia drivers/reinstalling, but nvidia doesn't detect the card. The card is receiving power. I have two 6+2 pins in, only using the 6 pin part powering the card. I have a 1000w power supply thats reads a stable 11.96. I'm currently at work so I can't remember my other parts. Any help is greatly appreciated.

you have both 6 pins cable connected does you psu have some other 6 pins connector you could try,but since it work with onboard i would also try to test the card in another system

I have tried alternative connections however the only one that ever worked was the 2 6+2 pin connectors. Which only worked for the first two weeks. I don't have any friends with a power supply capable of running the card, so I'll prolly rma it in. Just wanted to check before I went that route.

do you have another card that use the 6 pins power this way you could test the psu if it give power on them so the graphic card you use for test should work

You could take your multimeter and check the voltage coming out of the 6 pin connectors is in fact 12V - here's the pinout
