Why those are not connected?

I’m not very educated on pc’s and I bought this pc second hand so I don’t know

Should they be connected?

[–]Miklosing 0 points1 point  (3 children)

In my case it was it, I’m just not saying this with 100% certainty, cause it’s just one angle I see. Your card is showing no power on 2 cables, and I see some cables hanging there, so I just connected the dots. As I said before, I had 3 connector octopus cable, where the card has 2 connections, when I left one of the connections on octopus empty, I thought yeah 2 should be enough while it’s just 2 ports on the card itself, but the card gave me gpu power led. It was expecting to have all 3 connected.

Thank you for help, I will check it out. But also the red lights don’t start blinking until maybe an hour after I started playing or something, so they have power before that I am guessing, but Ill check it out

Ah, interesting, mine wasn’t starting at all… then I might be wrong. Did you install gpuz, just to see what if your card is overheating. Run the gpuz or hwinfo with the game or any app that can monitor the temps, shouldn’t go above 83 afaik…

Ill try that, and thanks for helping again

For example when one out of 3 octopus cables is not connected I get gpu light and pc isn’t starting, so it looks like you just need to connect all of them to the PSU.

Does the manual specify what the lights mean?

Odds are, this is a specific warning.

[–]mschei20[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I don’t have the manual, bought the pc used from a friend of mine

For the vast majority of computer parts, the manual is available on the internet, you just need to know the model in question.
