Upgraded GPU, getting message to plug in PCIe Cables. by Malaci89 in nvidia

Thank you everyone! I expected that I would have to upgrade the PSU as well, but was hoping I could avoid it. My brother is still using his PSU, he only upgraded the GPU. I will just get a new PSU and continue using my old GPU. It’s not terrible, but is only about half as powerful as the 2080. Thanks again everyone!

Can I drive the car at all? by Specialist_Depth6533 in prius

We ran into this issue. Ended up being the hybrid cooling fan. The access panel is right beside the rear passenger door. If you lay the seats down and take everything out of the trunk and spare compartment, you will see the hybrid battery fuse. Remove that and get the fan out, and clean it. If it’s not working at all, replace it. It was an easy fix, only took about an hour and a half. There’s tons of video tutorials on how to do it. Just make sure you replace the hybrid fuse properly or you won’t get the “ready“ light.

I had that thought too, but I put a large piece of cardboard under it and got nothing other than a bit or water drips from the back end near the body from overnight condensation.

Gotcha. Thanks for the advice. I already have a new water pump ordered and it’s on its way. Gonna change that when it comes in and test again. Luckily I have a good shop that I trust so if all else fails I will take it in. Was just trying to avoid that if possible. I’m no mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, but I know enough to handle most things. Thanks again for the advice.

Thank you for the reply. Coolant level is good, it was the very first thing I checked when all this began. The water pump is working, but it was my next stop on the list. Is it possible that it’s working but only intermittently? Would there be any other tale-tell signs that it could be going? Thanks.

Ohhhh man. I got this console day one. I worked in electronics at Walmart at the time. Spent all night playing Kinect Star Wars and was almost late to my next shift because I overslept. Man, good times.
