PC specs?
Intel i5 14400F, RTX 4070 Super, 32gb DDR4 ram, Windows 11, and a 650w power supply.
PSU specs? 650w is required, but 650w PSUs aren't equal.
Kratos Gold P1 650G
Did you build this yourself? That PSU isn't exactly a quality one.
No I bought it prebuilt and cheap.
Well time to get your hands dirty I'm afraid. If you're able to I'd order a PSU from like Amazon or Best buy and swap it out to test. If the problem persists you can return the PSU. If you need recommendations or help with the swap just let me know.
But the PC still turns on. I can hear it through my speakers, and all the lights turn on. Even the lights on the GPu. It is just the GPU not putting out a signal.
Alright let's put the PSU aside for a second. How does your GPU connect to your monitor?
Displayport? Plugged into the GPU on the side.
On the side? What do you mean? Like up near the USB ports and such?
Like into the GPU’s side? The ports on the back.
Ok just checking. Some people accidentally connect to the motherboards video out and your CPU doesn't have integrated graphics.
Describe the cable(s) that connect to the GPU from the PSU.
2 cables, both 2 rows of 4 for 8 pins each cable and 16 total. They don’t seem burnt out or anything like that.
Ok I was making sure you weren't using a single cable with daisy chain 8 pin. Do you have any friends with with GPUs they'd let you use to test?
Possibly but it will be a few days until I can mess with it more
