    PC Boots But GPU Isn't Recognized

    I was building a new gaming rig and the pc boots without a problem, but it seems that the GPU isn't being recognized. It's getting power, but there isn't any signal from either of the GPUs I put inside of the PC. It is sitting on a riser cable. I have not tested it with the GPU going directly in...

    Yeah... I had turned it on a few times today. Absolutely no problems... So I will try to continue with the build.

    Oh and when I said running I meant everything looked right. It looked as if nothing happened at all. Ram was still lit up as well as the fans and mobo its self. But the pop and the smoke was still very concerning.

    No I haven't tried to boot it up. Right after I heard the pop I shut down the system. I didn't want to continue with the build until I figured out what the problem so I could try to come up with solutions.

    Well from what I see, the PSU is working perfectly fine. The motherboard still lights up upon flipping the PSU switch. It still lights up when turning it on, and the RAM still lights up and moves as well. I did some further testing and the fans are even spinning and lighting up. I'm not really...

    Yeah the pc was running. I just wanted to see if they would turn on. I did plan on testing the psu though, but it got too late and I went to bed.

    Solved Heard a pop.

    I was building my new pc not too long ago. While I was testing my fans to see if they would start spinning. I heard a pop from the inside of the case. There may have also been a little bit of smoke and a burn smell after the pop, both dissipated within seconds. The fan kept spinning and the RAM...
