1 Long beep followed by 3 short beeps

Rickness666 · 13 Nov 2020 at 14:43

I received my 3090 today and when I put it in and powered my computer up I got 1 Long beep followed by 3 short beeps, I looked it up and saw to try re-seating the GPU so I tried that and was the same thing, so I've tried the other PCI slot and same thing there, is there anything else I can try?

1 long 3 short is just a general GPU error so could be anything. Care to share some more machine specs?

something daft already!! · 13 Nov 2020 at 15:01

Have you connected the power to the GPU?

Rickness666 · 13 Nov 2020 at 15:09

ROG STRIX 3090 OC 24GB
Intel Core i9 10900K
ROG STRIX Z490-E GAMING Motherboard
32GB Corsair DDR4

Yes I've connected the 3x 8-pin to the GPU

Power supply 850W or higher?

Corsair 760AX

760W < 850W requirement.

Have a RM850x in another computer, I'll switch them and test

Also are you using individial pcie power cables from the PSU or daisy chaining?

Edit (your motherboards manual):

Rickness666 · 13 Nov 2020 at 15:37

Was 2 cables with 1 of them having 2 connectors on

If possible try and use 3 seperate cables, 2 at a minimum, but if you have a 850W PSU I'd try that first, also in other computer if possible as well and pray it's not DOA

Tried it in the other computer thats got the 850w in it (if possible) ?

760 might be abit borderline, i took out my corsair 860 and put in an Ax1600i which, i know, is overkill but with a threadripper, ram and ssd's better safe than sorry.

also, as others have said, use 3 separate cables from the PSU

Try it in that first that will rule out the gpu.

The RM850x with separate 8-pin cables did the trick, thanks for the help

Would be amazed if the PSU wattage was the issue.

It's not putting in a demand for several hundred watts on startup.

One way or another I'd suspect the cables or at least something stopping the basic level of current from getting where it needed to be.

Damn I have a RM650X but have a RM850X on the way, so you don't think it will work with the 650 at all?

I suppose one way to find out, I think the tuf has lights by the plugs to tell you if a problem

I wouldn't even attempt it with a 650W, even if it works initially there is a risk of overloading the PSU when under load and there isn't much resell value in a dead PSU.

Pretty sure someone else had this issue with a Strix 3090 and was solved by changing the CSM in the Bios.... worth giving that a try
