Hi all,
I've got a bit of an issue with my PC at the moment.
I was using it Sunday evening and all of a sudden it froze and switched off, and after that I couldn't get it to switch back on.
Through troubleshooting I've determined that the computer will only power up if the GPU (from this deal a few months ago https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/395901) is not hooked up correctly. Basically the computer only powers up if either the GPU isn't installed, or if it is installed it will only power up if JUST the 2 pin connector (from the 6+2 Pin cable) is connected, at which point I get no display output anyway, presumably because it's not getting enough power.
If I connect the full 8-pin connector, there is a sort of click from the PSU, the case fan spins about 1cm around and the lights on the GPU sort of flicker very briefly, and nothing more.
Specs are:
Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3
Xeon x3440
2x8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3
Asus RX 570
Corsair RM550x PSU.
Any insight much appreciated!
Thanks
