Fuck, Fuck, Fuck


Alright, so I had planned this totally great announcement of the 1 year anniversary of me being a dev and last week I pulled the trigger in a set up that finally could run the 3090 I bought earlier this year.

I was so pumped about that it was done today and I could pick it up.

Had a busy day and once I was back home I couldn't wait to fire it up.


I bet you can feel it coming... with the luck I have...

Everything was connected the way it should be, but my monitor only showed me a 'No Signal'. WTF

Monitor had only display port.

(Remember I had that gpu tested and it should work.)

Aight, nothing...

Then I connected it to my TV with HDMI, that seemed to have worked, I could see the Desktop. All seemed fine.

Back at my Monitor, all connected and again, it seemed to work.

I had visual. 

For about 20 minutes.

I was busy installing everything. (Temps were all below 40°C)

Then all went black and Monitor showed me a 'No Signal'.

I am fuming, why... like what am I doing wrong?

I can't test a different gpu and I am broke as fuck due to the investment...

I will test the TV tomorrow again and hope that will give me more results.

Best case scenario - I need a different monitor

Worst case - gpu is fucked after all


If worst case - I need to put everything on hold until I can buy a different gpu.


Again I try to get ya'll involved, if anyone can spare some donations I would really appreciate it. Even a decent monitor is out of the question to buy.

Leave it connected to the tv to see if it dies there too. If it does when it's no signal, try and make sure the computer is still running (by sound, or by switching displays without turning it off) 


It could in theory be a cable failing or the power supply not being strong enough to run the new processor, rather than the gpu itself failing
