I'm using a new system build. All parts bought from overclockers.
gfx: msi rtx 2060 ventus xs oc 6gb
mobo: Asus prime z390-p
cpu: core i5 9600k
psu: seasonic focus 850w
I bought the gpu a couple of weeks ago. I originally put it in my old build. Several times it black screened on me. By black screen I mean no signal to the monitor. My motherboard had failed on me and the primary pcie slot had died so I just put it down to a bad board. I posted about it on here in the motherboard section.
Yesterday I got my new parts and built my new system using the msi gpu. It has since black screened/no signal twice now. It seems to happen when the computer is powered fully off. Ie switched off at the mains. Whenever it is and I power back on I get no signal until I hit the reset switch and it suddenly starts working. It's not doing that every time but im worried now that the gpu is faulty.
A simple solution is to keep the power on and put my computer to standbye but I shouldn't have to do that with a new gpu.
Do you think my gpu is faulty? Should I start an rma for it? Is it worth it? Because if someone tests it and it fires up alright then it will be returned as healthy.
Edit: I've found litteraly hundreds of posts online about similar problems with the rtx 2060 cards. It seems to be a common fault with them. I think it's about rma time.
Just to clarify, it only does it when I first power up my pc and it's usually after switching off then on at the mains. Also when it does it, if I hit the reset swith it suddenly starts working.
