Corsair TX850M. 😊

Exactly. In the meantime, I will use the GT 710 to get the operating system installed, as well as any software I plan to use. :) I'm just happy the PC itself is fine!

Doesn't help to dwell on these things. Plus the seller has accepted the return and have suggested it was dead on arrival. I won't argue that! I also tried the new cables and there was no difference.

I've replaced the PSU and still nothing, so it's definitely the GPU. It's fine! Luckily I also ordered an MSI Ventus 3x OC from Scan and it should be here in a couple of weeks. So we can consider this problem to be solved, at least for now. Do you reckon it's worth trying the PCIE cables that...

I tried clearing the CMOS, to no avail. Anyway, the new £30 GPU arrives and the computer turns on just fine! So what should I make of this? Sure, the 3080 being broken is definitely a possibility, but the PCIE cables and weak PSU are still culprits. My new 850w PSU just arrived, so should I give...

You're right, all I can do is wait until tomorrow. I need to take my mind of this for a while anyway. Thank you for your help.

Right. I suppose I'm talking about the PCIE outputs on the PSU being faulty, not so much it's ability to supply power overall.

So it's not possible for this to be a power supply issue? I'm thinking that even if I try this £30 GPU, perhaps it could still be that the PSU is just not handling the 3080 due a fault.

Nothing happening in the bottom slot either i'm afraid.

I just bought this and it should arrive tomorrow. Thank you for your help!

So unless PCSpecialist are willing to take a look, am I out of options?

I will give this a try. Just so you know, I'm pretty clued up on the technical stuff, just never build a PC in particular. Why are you not convinced about the cables? It was setup by PCSpecialist. All I have to do is plug two (seperate) 8 pin PCIE cables into the GPU right? Apart from that, it's...

OK, so finally something. I've removed the GPU (which was more difficult than expected) and it now turns on, with the CPU fans spinning (hurray!). I assume this means the motherboard isn't fried? Anyway, without the SSD and GPU, the motherboard is giving 5 beeps, spaced out differently. It's...

I've taken the SSD out, still the same issue. I noticed the bottom of the heatsink was touching the mobo because I didn't use the riser screw. I fear I might have fried it. How can I diagnose this?

Thank you. It seems mine is in the wrong position and refuses to budge unfortunately.

Yes that's what I mean. The latch was working like a light switch, but now it's not moving at all. It's stuck in the right side up / left side down position. I'm not sure whether that's the correct state. However, it does seem to have locked up, which is annoying.

I know where the latch is, but I don't know which way it needs to be, in order to remove GPU safely.

I've connected the other cable but still the same issue. I'm currently trying to remove the GPU, but unsure of which way the latch should be on this motherboard and can't find anything in the manual. I don't want to pull harder as I fear I'll cause damage. Also, for the record, I have a TX750M...

Thanks for the advice I will try removing the m.2. Firstly though, I am still struggling connecting the PCIE 8 pin to the adapter. It says PCIE 4 on the plug and it is 8 pin. Shapes seem to match up too, but won't go in.

So I've got the other PCIE cable connected to the power supply, but this one won't go into the 3080 FE 12 pin adapter. It's like it fits, but won't push in. Also this cable has PCIE 4 written on the input end, instead of the PSU output like the other one.. Do I push harder or have I got...
