My latest purchase arrived yesterday, an RX 570 Pulse ITX. I installed it on my board 3rd time lucky... 1st time noting worked as I had forgotten the 4 pin EPS cable, and 2nd time I forgot the 6 pin PCIe power cable! I installed Radeon drivers and tried to run Time Spy, which crashed (it was corrupted and was OK after a Steam Validation / update). I then tried a quick session on Portal. About 5 mins in the screen went black, and the GPU seems dead. Have I done something stupid unknowingly? Now need to see if I can return it on ebay unless I've missed something
That seems fairly random to me, tried having a quick look on the card to see if you can see any blown capacitors or anything? Did you have temp monitoring going at the time?
Thanks George, I didn't have the monitor running as I was doing an initial test after unpacking. I have looked at the back of the board and can't see any marks / burns / damaged components. At the time, I felt it all over for heat and gave it a good sniff to see if there was smoke or burning smells. Nothing obvious
I tried it in another complete rig, just to check. All dead... I've posted it back to the seller today.
