PC powers on, but nothing shows on screen. 2080Ti GFX card has red glowing lights...

[Jez_G]

Has anyone seen this issue before:

Custom build via Overclockers. I haven't changed anything on it for quite a while (only added SSD), purely using it for some light gaming.
It worked fine yesterday. Today it's not showing anything on the display when powering on, however it does seem to run the fans harder.
GFX card is glowing red, though to be honest my PC tower faces away from me so I never see what colour / if it glows at all.

Does anyone have any suggestions to resolve this? thank you

Does it seem like it's booting normally? Hard to describe but what I mean is, do you think it's starting up as usual but perhaps the display is just not activating? Hdd case lights and fan rhythms can be used to tell.

Also, when you say fans are driven faster. Is that from the get go? Or do you think windows is loading behind the scenes?

I'd turn everything off at the plug, pull the plug, press and hold the power button and then wait 10 minutes or so.

Have you moved it recently? If you have, I'd make sure everything is firmly seated, by just giving them a little push. You could also try the PC in a different orientation (e.g. horizontal), which can also help if the graphics card is sagging.

If it's easy to get at and you have one spare, then a new battery might not hurt too.

I would start by clearing the CMOS. There is a button at the motherboard IO on your motherboard. See if that helps.

There is also a post screen on your motherboard, located above the RAM sticks that displays error codes that can help with figuring out what is causing the issue. The error codes should be in the manual.

Sooo... I managed to borrow a 1080ti gfx card to test with. Popped the card in correctly. Powered on and... POP, the ******* PSU died. So maybe this is the reason for my power on issues yesterday (not enough working juice to power up properly).

However this is the 2nd Kolink PSU that's done this to me in this PC (previous one Overclockers replaced). Last time I'm buying Kolink garbage

I'll buy a different one asap and hopefully the GFX card(s) is actually ok

Kolink PSU. Say no more. There’s a reason they are cheap. However, don’t write off the brand as a whole: their Citadel Mesh case is a cracker. That replacement EVGA PSU is complete overkill but will serve you well if you upgrade to a Threadripper or Xeon W.
