Im building my wife a PC and now that my SLI is useless (for a few years now), I figured I’d give her my extra GPU.
I disabled the SLI in the control panel, powered down, popped the SLI and 2nd GPU out and gave my wifes pc the extra 1080. My PC started up fine, I booted up a game, and about 10 min in, the screen froze for about 10 seconds and then appeared to restart and now I have no video output. Did I brick my gpu? Any ideas on how to proceed?
I’m only panicking a lot.
I vaguely remember ~7 years ago when I built it having issues with the gpus. The main issue was that I needed to boot my OS with a single card, get everything up and running, then shut down again and add the SLI and 2nd card. I also vaguely remember thinking the wiring was silly but it worked and for 7 years it was “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” until now.
Update on my building journey: my wife’s new build (waiting for 3 more case fans):
