*NEW* Computer only sometimes detects GPU

[SteveTrabajo]

Yes that would be better, but sometimes a person will get conflicting info from 2 different forums and ..well that has created more pc issue’s. Been there seen that..

Yes that does make sense, although so far I haven’t gotten (or I don’t think I have) any solution that would cause more or bigger damage, so for now I think we’re good here haha. I’ve literally tried so many things from my knowledge and suggestions from you guys, that I’m hoping the issue is solved by now, but I’ll only know tomorrow. The last thing I can possibly think of is some sort of electrical issue with the CableMod extensions where the GPU isn’t getting the voltage needed at startup.. I dunno, time will tell. I appreciate yall’s help nonetheless!

@SteveTrabajo - any update?

@SteveTrabajo - any update?

Heyo, I forgot to give an update since I just started a new semester in college so I got kinda busy.
Unfortunately not. The CMOS battery change didn’t do anything and I’m waiting until I’ll have enough time to go RMA my GPU. Although I’m just not 100% confident it’s the GPU since when it’s detected, it works just fine (If that’s non-related and it can still happen even if the GPU is defected please let me know I’m chatting nonsense haha), but yeah I’m just at a dead end where I’m not really 100% sure and confident that I know what the source of the problem is and I have no idea how to go on from here, and how it’s even possible to try and locate what the source of the problem is.
If you have any tips I would absolutely be grateful. I don’t want to drive 1:30 hours to the shop to drop my GPU just for them to tell me a couple days later it’s not the problem and they can’t RMA it, so any help would be amazing.

Thank you!

what is the power supply make/model of the other PC you put the 3080ti into and it worked?

to simulate the PC being off over night, get the PC started with the new GPU and working, then shutdown normally, pull of the PC power supply, then press the cases start button.
of course it won’t actually start, but that will drain any residual charge.
now plug back in the power cord and try and start it - does the GPU get detected?

The other computer’s PSU is Antec VALUE POWER Active PFC 700W 80+ VP700P Plus

About the second part, I’ve done that too many times and sometimes (more often than not) it doesn’t detect, but sometimes it does ???

can you swap power supplies to test

Yessir, the more minds, the better
Did I do something wrong?

I see that you are still receiving assistance with this elsewhere.

We are always happy to help when we can but we cannot safely do so if you are already receiving assistance on any other forum, doing so may lead to confusion as to whose and what guidance you are following which can be both dangerous and costly, decide on which forum you wish to continue and as a courtesy let the other/s know that assistance is no longer required.

Thank you for your understanding.
