Shut down turns on and increase GPU cooling
Shut down turns on and increase GPU cooling
Hello, your setup was assembled using a galax 4070ti about a month ago. Recently, I’ve observed that the display occasionally stops and the GPU fans increase in speed. To prevent this, I must press the power button. This occurs during both high and low loads. Additionally, there are times when the computer fails to show and a white light appears on the motherboard. To resolve this, I usually restart by turning it off and on repeatedly, then reconnecting cables until it powers up again. This also happens sporadically. I’m unsure if it’s a software or hardware problem. So far, I’ve swapped most of the fans to intake positions to reduce thermal issues. Do you have any advice on how to fix this? The fans seem to be running in reverse airflow.
I’ve got some disappointing information—your failure mode is pretty typical and doesn’t end well. You might try changing drivers, switching the GPU to another PC or a different one on your current setup, but you’ll probably still face the same problem. Fortunately, it’s not too old, so returning it for an exchange should be straightforward.
You're certain it's the GPU? I checked other discussions and thought maybe the power supply unit could be the issue, but I'm reaching out to Galax support for a replacement. Appreciate your assistance.
Sure, thank you. I've placed an order for a replacement, that's all.
