I put together a new PC build today.


Was all going well, Windows installed, updated chipset and graphics drivers. Motherboard BIOS is on it's latest release.
Cards running at 144Hz and Freesync is enabled.

I tried to play Vermintide 2, the machine turns off after a few seconds. It won't turn back on until I disconnect it from the mains.
Works if I run the game at it's lowest settings, but once I go higher it crashes.
I ran a Prime95 small FTT's test for over 10 minutes with no problem, max temp was 75oC.
Downloaded and ran Furmark and as soon as a click GPU Stress Test, the machine turns off.
What I don't understand is that I was able to complete a 3DMark bench test earlier.

It looks to me like the graphics card is connected properly.

All cables in tightly?
Got another psu you could try?
Try a different wall socket maybe?
Same for a new/different kettle lead
 
Thanks.

Made this post in a bit of a panicky moment.
A couple of people replied on my build thread and suggested I use 2 different PCIe cables, instead of the 1.
So far so good, Furmark running and not crashing!

Yup that will do it! glad its sorted...
 
That was working as intended.
Bitfenix Formula has those current limited wire groups, called "multple rails" by marketroids and card simply spikes over current limit.
Though those should be set at 35A, so that card is sure really gulping up "juice".

"Single" rail PSU wouldn't have done that.
Though for input voltage and ground reference stability (current causes voltage losses in both) it's anyway always better to use separate cables to feed graphics card's connectors.
