Obviously some self entitled one time system builder are expecting too much from a tech support working in a DIY shop, in all honesty, the tech support fulfilled his duty to test the card to be in working condition based on his test system. The onus is on TS to prove him wrong which is no fault of the tech support since the card his company sold to TS is working correctly. What other stress test require to prove the card is working?

All these glorified DIY enthusiast stress test will be thrown out of is the matter go to court, no manufacturer claimed or printed "Passed DIY enthusiast stress test" on the box and put them on the shelve for sale, you have no case against any manufacturer if your card failed any of these self entitled stress test.

Best answer ever. :D

Only this gentleman is knowledgeable.
The rest are unfortunately.. (censored)..


has the system been tested in it's entirety? everything include case, psu, all connections on. not just separate cpu and gpu test.

that's why ppl recommend buy mb, cpu, ram and psu all from one shop. that's the minimum to boot and test to confirm working. shop will use own gfx card to test if you want before leaving.

to recap,
cpu/ram prime95 no issue (also ok from previous usage with igpu)
gpu no issue in another shop (can boot and display, your problem is no display or artifacting)
bios is latest version

actual details of whatever tests or diagnostics done are sketchy at best. what you really need is to swap around all components to determine the fault.

combine cannot display or got artifact or unstable. old gpu also no display.

artifacting mostly due to "electrical" problems causing data error and corruption, too low voltage, too high voltage, bad contacts, failing connections, electrical leaks, etc.

assuming mb and gpu are working,
1. psu not delivering rated power over 12v
2. gfx not seated properly
3. failing pcie
4. internal conflict with pcie addresses
5. mounting problem

also, your ssd is on nvme(pcie) or sata? play around with the configuration to see if it works.

since that is a cheap board, might as well buy a new and better one :s8:

Fully agree !

Its important to get a good mobo.
But some in this community do not believe quality comes at a price.
I am not saying must get any brand, just that within the same brand, there good ones and there are lemons.

this forum is useful if ppl share their experience and not engage in personal attacks or shaming.

Good nite
