I recently assembled a new PC featuring an MSI z690 Edge DDR4 board, an i7-12700K processor, two sticks of GSKILL RAM Western Digital Black SN850 500GB in M2_1, and a WD Black 750 2TB in M2_2. The power supply is Corsair RM 1000i and the motherboard is EVGA 3080 FTW3. I'm running Windows 10 and have updated the BIOS. When I power on, the display fails to appear, and the VGA light illuminates. Using the integrated graphics works, but the 3080 doesn't boot at all. If I connect the GPU, it boots, though it won't run properly with the 3080. Not using either GPU still allows startup, likely due to the fans activating. I used a different card previously—my son's—and it worked. Windows reported audio when it booted, but I'm unsure if this model supports the 3080. The PSU is only 750W; any advice? Could be a faulty card? It was purchased from EVGA.
Possible faulty card may indicate a BIOS configuration problem for PCI-E. Try booting into Windows with onboard video, check Device Manager for GPU presence and installation status, verify if it displays Code 54 indicating a device issue. If no indication appears, contact EVGA support for replacement assistance.
Are you using three distinct 8-pin connectors rather than two cables with one containing two 8-pins from a single cable? Make sure the PCIE power cable is correctly attached to the PSU. (This issue occurred because one of the 8-pin cables wasn’t fully inserted on the PSU side and refused to turn on.)
I used three different cables, reinstalled them into the PSU, and reinserted the card. I’m not sure how many times I did this or if I updated the BIOS, since I’m not entirely confident about the changes.
