Error encountered with product ID 3090.
Hi all, This post concerns a used graphics card I purchased, the Gigabyte 3090 Gaming OC Non-LHR. Was claimed to be working, but woes of the used part market aside, when I tried to swap it in, it did not POST. ASUS Mobo indicated it was the graphics card which had the issue. Here's what I've already done: Reseated the GPU, turning off the power supply and all; no difference made Reverting to my previous GPU, which worked fine. Disassembling the card, nothing I can tell as being out of the ordinary Here's what I'm planning to do: Repaste/apply pads Testing for short circuits with a multimeter, which is en route Are there any other steps you would take to diagnose or fix what's wrong at home? I know Alex's dead GPU vid featured one which had been used for mining and which produced a display upon updating or reverting the bios away from the mining bios, but I'm unclear on how to do that for this card. Would be happy to try. Current system runs an ASUS TUF Gaming x570 Wi-Fi and Corsair RM1000x. Thanks! Edited for clarity and additional info
Try updating the BIOS on your motherboard. Tell me the model of your motherboard and power supply unit.
Asus x570 TUF with WiFi, Corsair RMA1000X motherboard. The board is relatively new, bought in March.
If the GPU supports different BIOS versions, try the alternative one. Avoid disassembling or repasting unless you plan to return it. Based on what I understand, your motherboard can handle dual GPUs. Place the new one in the secondary slot and the old one in the primary slot. Test if it boots and displays properly in Windows. You can also verify its presence in Device Manager on Windows. Initially, it seems like the device resembles a dormant old miner.
Not a standard support; shared on Reddit. Open to accepting the fact I was scammed, but curious about how I can fix it. At least I could keep this from ending up in a landfill.
If the system doesn<|pad|> to accept card data, it likely has an initialization problem—possibly missing voltage rails or insufficient power to the VBIO chip. I noticed a YouTube tutorial where someone is skillfully repairing computer components; their site offers quotes, and you might want to reach out if you're in the US. He also suggests a few European alternatives on his channel. Edited May 18, 2022 by Levent
Notice now. Start your PC using this card in the secondary PCIe port. Keep your old GPU in the primary slot with a monitor connected so you can observe the changes. The BIOS usually includes a submenu displaying VGA and DIMM slot status, which can indicate if the BIOS detects a device. If you gain access to Windows, check Device Manager for any entries. Then you can use GPU-Z, nvflash and similar tools.
