Hello guys.
New poster here but always on the site..
Basicaly I purchased a new graphics card yesterday from OCUK. After installing drivers everything was working fine, I was very happy. I played a few games for a test and everything was running smoothly. So turned off the PC at night..the next day went back for some gaming, still everything is fine. After turning off my PC today and going to work for 4 hours I got home hit the power button.. and nothing. No signal or boot bleep. So I manually powered down then hit the power button again, this time it works so I thought id shutdown and try again just to make sure.. this third time same again, no boot up but the fan is still working.
After taking out the GPU and inserting again I realised the 6pin to molex was a little fragile and one cable was very loose. So I gave it another fire up with no keyboard or mouse and everything started up fine. But silly me had to restart to plug keyboard/mouse in.. after the reboot again nothing no boot screen just no signal on monitor and no sign of loading?
I then inserted my old GPU which is terrible, but that works perfect. I am very confused as to how sometimes it will work and be fine, but then other times I cant even get a boot? Faulty?
Can anyone help me out? Is this a problem with the GPU power cable? My PSU is 550w so meets minimum. Or do I need a card replacement?
Thanks, if you need anymore info just let me know and i'll try my best.
