Yesterday I was tackling issues on this thread https://forums. I ended up choosing to replace my PSU. Everything was functioning properly once I verified the cables were correctly connected. The cable issue was resolved, and I fixed my AIO RGB which wasn’t turning on. Now my screen is displaying black, and I’m seeing either a white motherboard light or a yellowish green one—though the white one is gone. After re-seating my GPU, I encountered an orange light that kept appearing, urging me to reseat my RAM in different slots. The orange light has disappeared now. Please help!

If I recall accurately, the maximum temperature was 83°C for the 900 series cards.
This indicates you're approaching the overheating threshold.
It seems you might need to adjust and replace the pads on the memory and VRM components.
The core temperature could be acceptable, but the memory and VRM are equally critical.
Overheating will definitely lead to this issue.
Alternatively, consider removing the shroud and fan, and cleaning the dust from the heatsink—particularly if you have the FE model with the blower-style setup.

It might be related to the VRAM, as the RAM underclocking seems to have had the biggest impact. I value the sanity check. I was planning to upgrade the GPU and PSU soon anyway. I realized I had connected the incorrect HDMI cable, which caused the boot issue. (I think). Currently I’m using the old PSU and testing with the game to verify it works properly before switching back.

I understand. A repaste could reduce temperatures, but it's also linked to how the device is used. A more recent card would handle modern games better than what was discussed earlier.

Bought an arc b580 today in case anyone encounters the same problems from my previous discussion above. It appears it was a mix of my PSU and GPU. The updated power supply improved stability and reduced crash frequency. Replacing it with the b580 cleared all my issues.

I also want to note that aside from a few minor issues in Arma 3 and Rome: total war, I didn’t face any driver problems with the b580. The CPU performance concern was resolved—no noticeable extra load on my NVIDIA driver or significantly higher usage compared to previous games. At least YouTube reviewers seem just as unreliable as real news outlets. At least regarding the b580 and 11700k.
