ASUS Strix Geforce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 breathing / pulsating red upon startup and no display

[slamarre]

Hi,

I was playing a game (not graphically in intense) and suddenly, the screen went black.

Then I tried to reboot my machine and I had no display. Screen was black. I tried that multiple times.

Then I looked inside the case and the ROG logo was pulsating red. I have a ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 TI 8GB GDDR5 Gaming Graphics Card (ROG-STRIX-GTX1070TI-A8G)

See the image attached.

Then, I removed the card and I was able to boot with the onboard/motherboard iGPU (Asus Gryphon Z87)

I want to know the cause of this but there must be a reason why the card is pulsating red...

No, I have not tried this card in another PC. However, I tried 2 different cards in my Asus Gryphon Z87. Asus GTX 960 and Asus TUF RTX 4060ti and both are functioning properly. It also means that it is NOT a power supply issue.

Any Idea?

Thank you.

It's seems be an under power broblem...

Can you try to move the card to another PCIe and try to clean plugs of the GPU and the cable ?

I do not think so... This was in my original post:

Yes I know but the power problem may be on the GPU and not on the Motherboard
