Your computer restarts immediately after a brief power cycle. A video shows this behavior. Removing the GPU causes startup, but failing to connect the 8-pin and 6-pin connections still allows it to turn on. File attached: VID_20241230_123745.mp4.mp4.

It seems the GPU might be underpowered. Consider using single 8 or 6 pin connections. It could be a problem with just one pin type. Test the card—you might achieve full performance even with an empty 6 pin.

It functions solely with the 6-pin connected to the GPU, yet no image appears. The 8-pin PCIe connector remains illuminated.

And it doesn't work properly when you use just the 8-pin connector on the GPU. It powers on briefly before cutting out completely. This happened with the one I got used.

The system components include the board, CPU, and graphics card. A 550-watt power supply might be too compact for your needs.

well... https://www.gigabyte.com/de/Graphics-Car...v-10/sp#sp Lookie here under recommended PSU... 600 Watts... for the card.

I checked with buildapc about using a 550w PSU for the GPU. They said it should work fine because you mentioned your PSU model. I don’t want to spend extra money if the issue is actually with the GPU. Also, my system was turning on before, but now it won’t power at all.

You'll have to verify the GPU on another device... A colleague's system that had sufficient power... I received a 3090 Ti from someone who considered it affordable... his machine started up, but after running Haven Benchmark it shut down. I mentioned he required at least a 1000W PSU, and he purchased one... same outcome. When I inquired about the details, he dismissed me, saying he bought a low-quality unit... he eventually agreed to test it on his machine. We exchanged his 3090 for a 3070, which had an 850W PSU and still worked fine. His 3070 also functioned in his original setup. Eventually, I learned that PSUs can degrade over time... I've seen this happen with workstations... they would power on briefly before cutting out. After replacing the PSUs with identical wattage units, everything operated smoothly. As mentioned earlier, around 550 Watts is pushing the limits and could be close to the breaking point...

I’m not sure if anyone nearby has a high-performance PC with a strong PSU. Most of my friends don’t even own a computer, let alone a laptop. My cousin has a 750W PSU, but he lives a bit away from me. I’m planning to check that first—either the PSU or the GPU might be the issue. Since I don’t have more money left, I ran some benchmarks earlier with FurMark. The quick 1080p test worked, but the longer one took about five minutes and now it won’t power on.
