    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I've now updated the BIOS to the newest version (took a couple of tries) and it seems to work now *crosses fingers* ! I have turned it on and off several times with success :D (How do I mark it as solved?)

    Thank you, unfortunately we’ve already tried both the command prompt and disabling it in power settings without success :(

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    The link works, not the computer. My friend says he will try a bios update today or tomorrow so I’m waiting for news. (I’m visiting family because of a wedding so he’s looking at it for me while I’m away. I’m sending your suggestions to him and he tells me what happens ^^’ )

    Huh, it seems to work now. Yesterday it sent me to a howtogeek question about licensing or something, don’t know what happened. Thanks :D

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    The card has been tried in both slots with the same result (+we’ve tried my friends card with the same result) I can’t remember if I’ve updated bios.. I know I did something with it but I’ve tried so much the last 3-4 days that I can’t even remember anymore XD I’ll check it out and try it...

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I’ll suggest it to my friend (he has kept the computer to test it a bit more) But is it likely that shorting would cause it to not shut all the way down but have no other problems?

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I’ve bought each piece separately (though at the same vendor) and put it together myself.

    I don’t think the vendor will allow me to just send everything back :p but probably the motherboard

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    We tried exchanging cards and it was definitely not the card :( mine worked fine in his computer and my computer didn’t work with his. We also tried exchanging psu with the same result. He has kept the computer to check the motherboard and bios as he has more experi nice with that... :(

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I’ve removed the drivers while the card was in and it still ran fine. It also ran fine right after windows install when (according to add/remove programs at least) there was no graphics driver. But I’ll try doing it in the order you suggests as well in case it makes a difference? Thanks for...

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    It requires 1 connector (I think it’s a 6+2, I’m on my way to bed so can’t check) Wouldn’t other things go wrong if the card doesn’t get enough power though? At least, I forgot to plug it in one time today and it wouldn’t run at all :p Luck would have it that a friend of mine has a similar...

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I built it myself (with some help from a friend) this Monday so I guess it will be the specific part which I need to send back.

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    I will try a bit more and if nothing works regarding the drivers or finding someone with another computer/card then I’ll exchange the card next week when the store opens again Thank you so much for your help

    Okay so I can be decently sure it’s the card that’s the problem?

    Solved My new computer won’t shut down or restart because of gpu

    Okay I’ve done that. It turns off as it should both in normal and in safe mode without the card in.
