yes i have i only have one monitor for this pc, not sure if the red light on the graphics card is a good or bad thing
Looking to build for msfs2020

You should have the monitor plugged into the graphics card, not to the motherboard.
I did think that but when i do nothing happens i'm thinking the card is not in right
After you have the PC fully turned off (I mean: at the plug), make sure the power connector(s) are fully inserted (they can be a bit tricksy) and the card is happy in the slot.
Are you using HDMI or DP? DP can be problematic on some cards, nvidia have released a firmware update to fix some of the issues.
I think i may have the wrong leads trying to power it up

These came with card

I used this supply and did not use that 2-1 adaptor

I'm thinking i should have used these as they would fit

New definition: the LED behavior with a 16-pin adaptor cable (splitter) is:
Red = System shutdown/hibernate/sleep
No LED effect = System on, connector inserted properly
If your PSU has the new 16-pin cable, then connect that directly to the GPU - cleaner build and indicator always off.

yes changed power cable out for those other two and now i can even get geforce experience download
all up and running now?
I think i might be there now, today i had to change the power cord for the graphics card as i found two (lol) which i used yesterday to do a 126gb download would not fire up the card today, 3rd lead now in lol..........
Have you updated the bios for the motherboard? I found this to be a reason my computer crashed a lot to start with. I was however an early adopter of the am5 platform.
Regarding the GPU over heating, have you got the case fans the right way round so you have air flow through the case?

Thanks for the reply yes, i have the 3 on the front blowing in air one one the back pushing out and the 3 water ones pushing out air on the top.
normal when not under load.
test them by firing up something gpu intensive (game or benchmark)
ok i'll give that a try hoping this maybe the reason my games crash a lot as it says gpu overheating
what says the gpu is overheating?
might be worth firing up hwinfo or hwmonitor and seeing the temps yourself
the gpu should throttle back the clocks automatically unless there's something catastrophic happening
The fan stop shouldn't normally be an issue, but some games can hover around the point that they turn off/on and that can cause problems.
Great thanks just trying to work out why my pc crashes every time i fly on msfs2024 with the above specs, I have just rolled back the gpu driver to an older one and have the side glass off to see if that helps
