Nvidia gtx 1060 problem


Recommended Posts

I set my computer on sleep mode for a couple hours, but when i booted it up again, the gpu decided to stop working, it didnt give me any signal on my monitor. I looked and it seems the fans start for one second, then stop. What could've caused this sudden behavior, it was working fine before.

What card are you using? Manufacturer? 3Gb or 6Gb? (Yes, I see 1060)

 

What OS are you running? Win 10?

 

Could be a driver or hardware defect. Did restarting the computer help get your gpu back?

I'm wondering if it died in its sleep (software wise). Try holding the power button down on the computer until it shuts off. Then try turning it back on. Do you get a display now?

Nvidia gtx 1060, manufacturer is nvidia,6gb, win8. Restarting the computer makes the gpu start for one second then it stops

No, the gpu fans start then stop imediately after

If you turn the computer on and do not get a display on the screen and your hard drive activity lights don't indicate windows is booting, then its not a windows issue, it's a hardware issue. Most likely the graphics card but maybe a power supply or other component.

Are you running an Intel CPU? .If you take out the video card, does it boot with the internal GPU embedded in your cpu? Thats one way to check to see if it is a faulty card. If it is the card, check your warranty to see if you can RMA it

By manufacturer, I meant ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, etc.

You have onboard graphics? I would take out that GFX card, and run the onboard graphics.

Exactly, if onboard graphics exists and is enabled (or is set to auto, or what not) via UEFI/BIOS then that can cause a whole bunch of other issues, including the issue you are reporting. Also worth trying (if possible) move the card to a different slot on the motherboard. What happens on a cold boot (i.e. turning off the system via shutdown, or simply turning off the PSU)? One other thing that you might consider trying is turn off the PSU, and then press the power button on the case 3 or 4 times, this will cause all the capacitors to fully discharge and the RAM as well, and is an ideal troubleshooting method.

Without knowing exactly what those responding are working with - let's see if we can get more info from you.

 

Manufacturer - Mindovermaster wanted to know, is the card from Gigabyte, MSI, Asus?  Yes.. the 1060 is the core chip from Nvidia.

 

What motherboard model and PSU (power supply unit) are you using?  Does the mobo have more than one PCI-E 16x slot?  

 

If the board has more than one, try that slot.  If it does boot, don't panic if Windows doesn't load up the primary Nvidia drivers until the OS recognizes what port the card is in.


If it still doesn't boot... try a different rail from the power supply... assuming it has more than a single 8 pin plug.  Most of them do these days, as motherboards typically have an 8 pin port for the CPU.  Try switching them.  

 

It may not be a quick path to finding the issue.  At least three major factors are at play here.  Motherboard, PSU, video card.

What I said, but yeah. We need more info. :)

DOH! 

 

I must have rolled right on past that reading things too fast.

 

Bottom line I guess is, if people post vague, they get vague answers.

Manufacturer is galax. Sorry man im dumb with computers

When i took out the card and boot up the pc, i got no signal, soi dont think i have onboard graphics

I cant move it to any other slot. I tried the cold boot, turned off the pc and psu, but same problem. Do you mean pressing the power button 3-4 times with the system turned off? I tried that and didnt work

Gpu - galax

Mobo - crosshair v formula z

Psu - corsair GS700

Tried another plug, same problem

 

Sorry for taking so long,i was away for a couple weeks

Uh, you need to plug in your monitor to your onboard video..

 

But after I looked up your board, you have no onboard video...

 

You have another GFX card to rule this out, perhaps?

No, but in any case hopefully i can use the warranty to get a new card

Went to a technician and the card worked in his test system, so the problem is somewhere else in my machine. Id send the computer to him now but ive no time. ######## sucks

Ok.. well, you've eliminated one issue.

 

On to the main board or PSU.  

 

Two ways left I would try if you can:

That board carries 4 PCI-E 16x slots.  (for testing purposes, the last slot is x16 (x4 mode) which means nothing for troubleshooting)

Try booting the system with the card in either slot 2, 3 or 4.


Reset the CMOS.  Follow the motherboard's instructions on resetting the board's BIOS.  That board has a couple ways of doing it... see link below.

If neither booting in any adjacent slots, or clearing the CMOS doesn't work.. it might be time to replace the motherboard.

Good luck.
