When I say “a GPU that fails to boot” I mean that when this GPU is in the computer, computer won’t boot. At all. The PSU will make a little “tick” noise, but nothing moves. With another GPU, the computer works perfectly. I changed the thermal paste on the defect GPU (after it stoped working !!). No effect. Thanks for your inputs.
Hi @oukourj What power supply are you using? and replacement graphic card you are using too. You mentioned that the computer cannot power up with this GPU, but it could be due to bad power supply not giving enough power. From experiences, there could be shorted components, e.g. MOSFET in the card which is shorting it, thus drawing high amount of current. The power supply detects and stop operating as a safety measure. I will write it off as a hardware issues, as doing this compopnent repair need proper tools and equipment. if it is still under warranty, send in for repair.
