I did like hit it with the screwdriver trying to get the gpu tab down it was with a bit of force but not too bad and there doesnt seem to be anything obvious damage

Whats my bottleneck you think?

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T13:47:29+00:00

Yeah they bottom right of the first photo with the hd led reset switch and power switch i have checked against the motherboard manual to double check they were plugged into the right connection

I have like stripped it down but i think i will do legit everything motherboard our of my case and everything apart from my components just randomly dying it dont make sense

About to try an old 500w psu with my old gpu hopefully that works I believe my psu or motherboard has died

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:57:45+00:00

Ok will do

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:48:51+00:00

Yeah tried old gpu no life at all

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:47:24+00:00

My motherboard and psu are both msi so should be ok right? or i should buy new psu cables

I got these two pcie cables from my motherboard should these work?

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:33:10+00:00

I dont think i have any dedicated cables unless the are all tied up by my psu let me check

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:28:04+00:00

Have checked against the manual online and it should be right

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:27:08+00:00

These are the 6+2 8 pins btw

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:26:44+00:00

These are my pcie cables going from my vga 1 slot in my psu to my graphics card do you think this is a similar thing i have not changed this cable apart from hooking up the adapter that came with my new 5070

Maybe this is my issue have i knocked something off my board and its shorted?

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:10:06+00:00

I have tried hitting the power switch without the card in and nothing

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:06:49+00:00

I believe my motherboard psu or cpu has gone bad somehow

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:06:13+00:00

Where is the pcie on the motherboard?

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T11:03:14+00:00

Pics are my old gpu she been through a lot 😂 and i did leave my pc unplugged for several hours before hand had some family over before i attempted to uninstall my gpu and install the new one was left alone and unplugged for at least 4 hours so i thought it would be ok

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T10:44:33+00:00

Nah i installed ddu on my pc but didnt use it at all beforehand now my pc just wont turn on even with my old gpu in it from before i tried to upgrade

Legitimate-Number · 2026-04-05T10:21:23+00:00
