How to test my GPU ?
My PC stopped working suddenly while I was using 2k, and when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't come back on and just flashes for a second. After checking the issue over a day, I removed my GPU and the system started normally again. How can I better check my GPU? Is there a possibility the problem is with the power supply unit?
What are the complete specs for this system (make/model of ALL installed components)?
These sorts of issues are often NOT the GPU, but the PSU. Be sure to tell us how old the PSU is, as well.
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600x
Motherboard - MSI b450 Pro Max
GPU - Gigabyte Rtx 2060 6gb
Power Supply - Corsair Cv 550
Memory - T force delta 2x8gb 3600 ddr4 Cl16
PSU age - approximately 5 years
Consider testing a different quality PSU. This should likely resolve the issue.
I plan to purchase a new PSU with increased capacity and better quality. Appreciate your reply.
When feasible, try running the GPU on a different PC without an integrated graphics card in the CPU, as this helps determine if it functions correctly.
Based on your luck, a no name PSU might last you several years, while a top tier PSU could fail in just two and take the rest of the system with it. However, the likelihood of either outcome is quite low.
If you wish for a reliable PSU, consult the PSU section for suggestions.
