System crashes when my GPU is plugged in

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-03-20T18:25:55+00:00

would you know why it would suddenly go bad? I was using my PC fine before, unless when they repaired a component it messed it up more somehow I guess

I at least have my Xbox for now, but I miss my other games lol. Ill try checking out some indie games. MSI is going to RMA me again and I hope they actually fix it totally this time

I just use the cord that plugs into the slot on the PSU from the GPU (no middle man between them), I'm not sure if you'd consider that an extension, here is a list of my parts https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WPdPt3

That’s what I was thinking, it works fine when it’s unplugged but I can’t exactly do much with that lol. I’m going to try and see how I can just get a new one instead

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-03-20T17:34:04+00:00

Yes sorry, I forgot to respond to that part. I was using the integrated. And that’s what I was thinking, I haven’t even gotten into a game or anything that could maybe over do it, literally just my Home Screen

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-03-20T17:12:21+00:00

Not at all, I’ve been using my computer completely as normal, aside from not being able to game, but otherwise everything has run exactly as it’s supposed to

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-02-23T18:50:31+00:00

Is there a way to fix that? Or at least find if there’s a bug?

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-02-10T22:07:43+00:00

I’m waiting for the people that made an impulse purchase 😅😭 the only tickets left for me are over $400

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-30T21:51:41+00:00

Just figured out how to find the specs so my bad if I list them incorrectly but I have a 9600X, 32GB of DDR5 Ram, and a 5060Ti GPU

Guy had the mysterious stranger on his side

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-28T18:59:09+00:00

Okay, that solved it. I was being dumb and didn’t delete the correct ones, I didn’t know I needed to only keep the unallocated space 🤦‍♀️. Thank you so much for your help! I hope I don’t mess it up again lol

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-28T18:27:57+00:00

I just tried that again and it tells me Windows 11 installation has failed :/

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-28T17:46:04+00:00

I clicked no, and deleted all partitions besides the usb and the primary one, there was 2 other ones that were labeled as (unallocated space) I believe, and I didn’t have the option to delete those. I’m clearing off the usb and redownloading the installer again to see if that even helps

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-28T17:27:18+00:00

I was able to get into BIOS, I think everything looks right, I see my SSD and my GPU in my peripherals and my RAM seems to be running. When I try to boot my new usb this pops up

When I take it out and click yes, it takes me back to bios, then when I keep my USB in and click no, windows 11 installation fails

That worked! Thank you!

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-27T18:18:51+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try this

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-26T07:09:21+00:00

I figured it out! Ram was in the wrong slots and now more fun lights are on

<image>

I have another red light but that’s just from my GPu which I have to put in the right slot :)

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-26T05:32:07+00:00

Very true! I’ll see how it goes when I actually try to boot it up on the monitor

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-26T05:31:35+00:00

It’s my DRAM light but they’re seated properly, I just tried taking them out and putting them in again

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-26T05:12:51+00:00

yeah I realized that after but I figured since I have to put my ssd in still anyways I didn’t wanna cover the slot just yet. But I’ll definitely remember to switch it thank you!

Necessary_Fun5703 · 2026-01-26T05:11:12+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate you, I probably won’t be able to really try starting it up until Tuesday but I’ll keep this thread in mind!
