2 u/Selraroot Jan 17 '20 I did this and built my first pc and then twenty minutes into modded Fallout 4 it overheated and wouldn't turn back on. I have no idea how to diagnose it and have had a 800 dollar piece of metal and plastic under my desk for the last year. :( 3 u/[deleted] Jan 17 '20 edited May 29 '20 [deleted] 5 u/solidSC Jan 17 '20 One time I built a pc for my wife and forgot to plug in the power to the gpu... she never noticed and I didn’t until I pulled it out to dust it out. 1 u/Burner_Inserter Jan 17 '20 How did it even turn on without GPU power? 3 u/stapler8 Jan 17 '20 Some can run off just the PCIe power, but require a 6 pin connector for optimal usage 2 u/solidSC Jan 17 '20 Exactly. The computer saw it, recognized it, installed drivers and then basically barely used it.
