Does anyone here have experience building a PC

[Ricordanza]

My PC wasn't booting up today and I heard a long beep and two short beeps so I tried swapping around the memory sticks. That didn't work so I put in my old GT 710 and the PC booted up. Has my precious GTX 1080 gone fucko mode?

what motherboard do you have? the beeps can be indicators for what the issue is

Checking in here also, since I hope to have a gaming PC one day.

Gigabyte B450M Ds3H V2, I checked on the internet and it says it's a RAM issue but I've tried literally every permutation with my two sticks and it simply doesn't boot with the GTX 1080

it sound like it is the GPU yes, how old is it?

5 or 6 years

5 or 6 years

GPU life spans are somewhere between 4-5 years think you might have too look for a replacement or upgrade.

Aren't they supposed to last 8-10 years? There's no replacement for a 1080, everything after the 10 series is dogshit

8-10 thats CPU, gpu is under heavier loads that the CPU alot of the time, atleast if you game. most GPUs start haveing issues around the 3-4 years mark

Yeah but I barely used it. I used it for maybe 1.5 years out of the 6 for gaming, it was just sitting on my desk most of the time

is there alot of dust in the GPU? maybe just a quick blow over with compressed air can fix it?

 

[edgelordcel]

Use other 8 pin

Yes there is. I'll have to buy a can to test out your hypothesis. Also the golden pin of the PCIE on the GPU has some very minute dark lines and spots, is that of any significance?

 

[Ricordanza]

Use other 8 pin

My PSU has 2 6+2 pins and the 1080 needs both of them, could be an issue with the PSU too, since the 710 doesn't need a separate power connection

rip ur gtx 1080 one of the best cards ever machined

Probably the best ever. Nvidia fell off big time

It's over for GTX 1080cels
