GPU Issue

Dave_gk · 16 Jul 2020 at 23:25

Hello so my build is old here it goes-

GIGABYTE GA-B85M-D3H
I7 4770k
16gb 1666hz
Artic 650 psu
Watercooled and over clocked cpu to 4ghz.
Originally had the asus 970 turbo gpu in.

Decided to upgrade cpu to a nvidia 2080 OC today and after I plugged it in the lights came on for a split second and then went off and nothing powered up.
Left it unplugged for a bit, took gpu out and it powered up.
Plugged gpu back in and nothing again. Took battery out to reset cmos nothing still. Took gpu out again and nothing would power up again. Now I've left it unplugged downstairs. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance.

OK will test it in the morning. I'm currently looking at a new psu now, what would be best?

Bought a Cooler Master 700W RS-700-AMBA-D3 Modular Power Supply hopefully that will do the trick?

Yeh I know but I'm not rich enough atm after being on furlough for so long and then buying a 2080

Well after buying the damn psu I went down this morning made sure its all plugged in and it turned on ‍

I moved my computer slightly and it all turned off. So it's got a loose connection somewhere. But it's all working now so yeh silly computer

Yeh tested a few video benchmarks quickly before work and stress test on the old counterstrike source and it ran OK. But for some reason I can't change it to 144hz
