GPU: 4070ti super
CPU: Ryzen 7 7800x3d
Memory: Gigabyte Aorus x670 elite ax
RAM: Team Force 32gb 6000 mhz
Power Supply: Corsair RMx 1000w
Recently, the Gigabyte control center received a firmware update for my device. I installed it after turning off the XMP feature in the software settings. The rest of the day proceeded normally until I restarted the system. At that point, some RGB lights failed to activate despite fans running and the red DRAM indicators lighting up. After trying to reset the BIOS by pressing CMOS_SW for ten seconds, it didn’t work. I also attempted a flash to an older firmware (F11), but the issue persisted. The final attempt before returning home was removing the CMOS battery, though I’m unsure if this is truly different from using the reset switch.
1. Take RTX 4070 Ti Super off your PC entirely.
2. Connect a monitor to MoBo.
3. Check if an image appears.
If you see an image, your GPU is damaged.
If no image appears, CPU, MoBo and/or RAM are damaged. To determine which component failed, use a compatible system for testing each one separately. Or take the PC to a repair shop for diagnostics and repairs.
GPU has been functioning well for some time now. After placing a new CPU MB and RAM, it began experiencing problems. I decided to replace the MB because I'm almost certain it's the issue, or the RAM since it failed after an update. It's possible the RAM was damaged by accident, but I'm not sure what happened.
