NMS broke my PC????

[WJ]

After playing NMS my PC crashed with no error code showing up, just shuts down instant.

I found out that when ever I connect the GPU, my PC won’t start, I can hea le the click of my PSU but the fans won’t turn on and no lights on the motherboard.
But when I connect my DP and HDMI cable to my motherboard and disconnect the GPU cable, my PC can run.

Not sure it’s because I run the game with all settings on High and set fps to above 100.

My PC specs:
ROG Strix LC 360 AIO cooler
ROG Strix 850W PSU
ROG Strix Z690-A motherboard
G.Skill Trident Z Royal Series(4 piece totaled 128GB)
Gigabyte RTX 3080Ti
Some Samsung 980 Pro Gen4 SSD

Please help even though I can run my pc without the GPU but I can’t play any game because the fps is too low (CSGO runs 20fps)!!!

If you can get the game running, try lower your settings and see how the game react. Some hardware can be a problem, esp due to heat build up. Also did you built this rig or got it from the market/online? Some of those pc from online or marketplace can be trash. Cause i got this dell pc some years ago, had some nice hardware in it, almost compare to your and made the game crash once in awhile and just realize it was overheating. That crappy dell pc had very poor airflow and no cooling system.

Also make sure none of those cables are touching certain hardware that get hot, can burn it up. Been hearing alot of gamers got their cable burnt in many games.

The heat is one thing can cause your pc to crash, if get too hot, esp cpu. Did you get the drivers up to date? Try lower the fps down to 60 and see if that help. Cause i am running at 4k resolution and everything is on high, so far i have been able to play without any issues.

Btw not sure what cpu you have there, didnt mention it.

Wait, wait.
If your PC has stopped booting up properly, I think you should carefully isolate the problem first, don't you?
Do you have any idea what you have done recently?
Maybe you overconfidently overworked the performance of the device and overworked it, such as overworking it in VR for a long time, or playing high-load games for a long time in a place with high temperatures.
If there is damage to the power supply, GPU, or motherboard, in the worst case (like mine) it could catch fire and cause serious problems.

yeah that almost could have happen to this crappy dell pc i bought from dell some years ago. wondering why the game crash once in awhile, so it was the heat is the major problem!

It wouldn't be funny if my house burned down before my heart burned out. Fortunately, the only thing I burned was my computer.

I’m afraid to run the game with integrated GPU because it performs badly, and I can’t start my PC when connected to my 80Ti. Also I built it myself with all parts bought from Amazon(because it’s quick) all new.

I didn’t smell any burn or smokes coming out my PC and I’m not sure if it’s overheating because I can run Minecraft with high setting resource packs smoothly no problem

When i got this dell pc i mention above, got it for NMS and Wurm Online. So both runs pretty hot. The pc is i7 10th cpu around 3GHz, 16GB upgrade it to 32GB, GF RTX 3060ti and SSD too. Now the power supply is small in that case, look like it can barely handle the situations and that when i noticed got poor airflow with one little fan lol.

I did contact Dell about this, feel like i got ripped off there. So now i got a much better case with multi fans as well cooling system for the cpu that i just upgrade it to i9 11th generation at 3.5GHz. So it ran the game well, still get hot though. Glad i build this, Dell wanted more money to get a better gaming rig, etc. No way, not going back to them.

PSU is toast.

Check if your graphics card driver needs updated.

If the PSU is toast, I still can start my PC with integrated GPU?

Every PSU I have ever seen break was still partially working. Clearly by plugging in your gpu you're robbing too much voltage from the 12v rail and the system can't start. Only other option is that your video card has totally failed. Are your motherboard lights flashing with it turned on?

•Motherboard only flashed when I use the integrated GPU(flash red then orange then white, and the PC can function normally)
•If I connect the GPU(RTX 3080Ti) there are no lights and PC cannot turn on, also fans not spinning at all

This sounds like a cooked GPU. Did you hear the GPU fans ramp up prior to the failure? If this is the actual Gigabyte branded card, there are several reviews indicating failures and DOA cards. Try testing the card in another PC.

Also, check the condition of the power cables (conductors) for any signs of damage, just in case the GPU is fine but the cables or the PSU's PCI-E headers are shot. You should have two 8-pin cables from the PCI-E headers to the GPU (there are five 8-pin connectors on the PSU for the CPU/VGA/PCI-E devices). These should be seated well and be locked in place.

Does the PSU fan spin? I ask as this model has a 0dB mode that shuts off the fan. Be sure this mode is disabled (there is a switch on the PSU).

I have a feeling it has little to do with NMS and more with your power supply - or your GPU itself, I suppose.

Actually yes, because the GPU draws a ton of power - if you lower the power requirement by not using an external GPU, the power supply should be enough if it's still somewhat functional, so not having the GPU connected might enable you to boot in that case. It's either wearing out, if the same hardware worked before, or if you tossed in a new part, it could also be that your power supply just doesn't got enough juice - if that's not the case, it could just be that the old GPU is burned out - depending on how old it is, and how hot it usually runs.

Different generations of GPUs have different temperature ranges as "normal", but especially with cards known to run hot, they *can* burn out with normal use... not usually, but I've had it happen without overclocking on very old hardware - I remember when I used an ATI/AMD card many years ago, and it ran super hot compared to my nvidia card - which was fine for a long time, until it wasn't and she fried. Smelled like burning plastic/wiring and everything. I believe that PC was from Dell as well, and if I remember right they had pretty crappy cooling solutions tossed on their computers... at least back then.

Yes a power supply can die like this. Its supposed to die first in the event of power issues to protect the rest of the computer. Start there check with the manufacturer of the power supply they may have a replacement for you too.

Do not forget about the power connectors on the graphics card from the power supply as well :)
