ZOTAC GTX 1080 Ti Mini: Wieso bootet mein PC nicht?

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 05:15:55 -0700

Immer wenn ich meinen PC starte flackert er ganz kurz auf mit so Lila-schwarzen Kästen, die meist kommen wenn die GPU ein Problem hat. Mein Mainboards VGA Lampe leuchtet dann auch auf. Ich habe die Grafikkarte nun mal aufgeschraubt aber habe keine wesentlichen Fehler gefunden außer das C40 fehlt. Könnte das der Fehler sein?

AMD Radeon RX 580: Gpu only works without driver (RX 580)

Sun, 13 Oct 2024 09:08:37 -0700

Hello everyone,

I have a GPU that only works without a driver.

There are no short circuits or defects on the PCB.

The card runs normally without drivers or in recovery mode even with normal resolution. As soon as drivers are used, it crashes.

Unfortunately I have not been able to find any defects or short circuits on the VRam, perhaps someone else has another idea.

Thank you very much.

Video Card: Better GPU for future proofing

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 17:35:19 -0700

I know this might seem stupid but I want to build a PC on AM5 that will last me till 2032, and while I will be able to upgrade a CPU down the line I won't be able to upgrade a GPU till that 2032 mark and I want a GPU that will last till then playing games I don't care if it won't be able to handle everything on Ultra by then but I also won't wanna be playing everything on Low then, not because my GPU isn't good enough but because of vram if it means worse performance now but better later because I'll have more vram then I'm sold, I want a 1440p at least 60fps build even with the use of dlss and maybe frame gen, so if a 5060 TI by then will be able to play games with higher settings even though it is weaker but because it has more vram then I'll buy the 5060ti, but if the 5060ti will bottleneck because of performance way before the 12gb of the 5070 will become a bigger issue than the performance of the 5060 ti even though it has more vram then I'll buy the 5070, please I need good information and a lot of help because I don't know about future proofing a lot, thanks! (Also recommendations about other GPUs are welcome but if it's and AMD please list how fsr compares to dlss because if it really isn't a big difference which I hear it is then ok and also I want rt or path tracing but not max and no older NVIDIA graphic cards 50 series only)

GTX 3060: RTX 3060 No Display - Fans Spin but No Signal in Any PC

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 11:01:32 -0700

My RTX 3060 is not outputting any display. I have confirmed that the fans spin and the card appears to have power, but there is no signal to the monitor. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

- Tested with different HDMI and DisplayPort cables.

- Tested on multiple monitors.

- Re-seated the card in the PCIe slot.

- Verified that the 8-pin power connectors are fully plugged in.

- Tested the card in a completely different PC, and it still does not work (no display).

Since the fans spin but there is no output in any system, I suspect a board-level hardware failure such as a missing 1.8V rail, a VBIOS issue, or a faulty VRM component. How can I narrow down which component has failed using a multimeter, and are there common failure points for this specific card?

GTX 1050 Ti: Anybody know what these components and values are on the GTX 1050 pcb?

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 01:52:22 -0700

I have a GTX 1050 (not Ti) which is showing blank screen. Looking at the pcb, it looks like some of the resistor/caps smds have been knocked off so any ideas what they could be?

Have attached a very high rez image. Ignore the slight wonkiness as its a stitched together image. Have circled and numbered where I've spotted missing components.

AMD Radeon RX 570: AMD RX 570 not booting. Voltage measurements included

Fri, 10 Apr 2026 11:00:13 -0700

Hey all, I've been trying to fix a XFX rx570 XXX edition 8gb. Keep in mind I've no knowledge so I've been doing this using tutorials. Any help is appreciated.

8pin connector led is open when pc boots, but nothing else happens (no image).

Fans don't spin.

Everything below is based on this video: https://youtu.be/2Yz7HfzggYc?si=UM8VOndm...

PCIe pins are all ok. They have similar resistance and not one is faulty. PCIe capacitors are all ok also, they have similar resistances.

12V pin is ok. 3.3V is also ok.

No visible damage/burnt components.

I booted it with the heatsink unscrewed to check voltages and here is what I gathered. Everything below is based on this video: https://youtu.be/5oD69tIrU7c?si=cQbnSDhl...

GPU core doesn't heat up at all. Stays cold.

12V voltage is ok (C157, C151).

3.3V voltage is ok (next to C157, C151).

At the 5V regulator on the back on the 3 legs I read 2.5V, 3.3V, 12.V and opposite of them I read 3.3V. Didn't read the suppossed 5V.

At the 1.81V on the back I read 1.81V. One thing I noted was when I read the voltage, the fans spun for a split second.

Display rail read 0.92V

VDDCI/memory controller read 0V

1R0 (memory) read 0V

GPU read 0V

Things I tried that I am not sure I did correctly:

Continuity test on 8 pin connector socket.

Resistance measurement on the regulators on the back of the card.

Thanks!

RTX 3060 VENTUS 2X OC: Overheated my msi ventus 2x 3060 due to an open case

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:09:13 -0700

I left the case open for about a year and a half while constantly running cod at 1440p with a dual monitor setup, the card actually held up pretty good despite leaving it on while I went to work or while I slept multiple times but recently the graphics started to malfunction, blocks or unloded parts of maps, I've gone through replacing the thermal pads thats been keeping it alive but I have to do that about once a month and it still struggles to load all graphics even on low settings due to the gpu being to hot, I have a close case, proper fans, what component would have gone bad due to overheating and would it be easily repaired? It never crashes on me or turns off randomly, I still play dmz on cod at high/medium settings but it lags since it get too hot while loading new graphics.

Video Card: Where is the temperature sensor component located exactly?

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 19:26:16 -0700

gtx 1070 ROG Strix

Had this card for years and still works great. Recently started doing this thing where it shows it reaching temperatures as high as 90c at idle. Logically the first thing that comes to mind is that it needs new thermal paste or pads etc. I guarantee this is not the case. The card is still cool to the touch. I confirmed this after running it till it reached that temp then turning off and removing the card. I am nearly certain it has a bad thermal sensor, which is why I would like to know where they are so I can buy and solder new ones. All help is appreciated thanks!
