I was using farming simulator and stretched my leg while the PC shut down. I restarted it but there was no video or RGB on the GPU, and the rest of the system didn’t work. I tried it on another PC and only got the three lights above the PCI cables, plus a buzz in the HU. It seems a fuse probably blew, but I still don’t want to accept that as the truth. Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, izi

If the issue occurs on a different machine, the faulty component is likely the card. Which power supply model do you own? Is the white cable a separate extension?

Did you manage to connect it? How recent is your graphics card? That’s what I’m asking. If you’ve added graphics to your CPU, connect your monitor cable to the motherboard and it should start up. If that works, it probably means the GPU isn’t installed. I’m also confused about the cables—why do you have two identical connectors and one white one? What type of power supply are you using?

It seems you're asking about the purpose of stretching your leg while working with cables. The setup involves power connectors and a white extension on one cable to match the card's pin configuration. This might be done for compatibility or aesthetic reasons.

I own a Thermaltake dps power 1050 and previously added extensions to the PCI cables, but after trying to fix it, I damaged the cables.

I used the built-in graphics and everything functions smoothly. I disconnected the power cord from the PSU during stretching, and I have a Thermaltake dps running at 1050W. While troubleshooting, I messed up the PCIe cables, which caused the connections to be disorganized. I didn’t even manage to power on the third PCIe card.

Are you connecting it to the power source or the wall outlet? Do you have a surge protector in place?

Avoid plugging the surge protector directly into the wall. It's something I've never considered because I haven't faced any problems in the past eight years with my computer.
