- Quick Update -
Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
First, I want to apologize for not having the update ready on time. My PC has been acting up since February, and it’s making development nearly impossible right now.
Whenever I try to perform a GPU-heavy task—like rendering a scene—the GPU shuts down and my monitor immediately goes into "Power Saving Mode." I’ve spent the last month trying to track down the cause. I’ve tested the GPU in different slots, had my hardware checked by the shop, and even had an electrician look at the wiring in my room.
I’ve even tried replacing my old VGA-to-HDMI adapter with a proper DisplayPort cable and used an air blower to keep everything spotless, but the issue persists (ignore the dust in this pic though). I’ve been constantly reseating the GPU (and even made a DIY sag bracket out of an ointment box and tape!) and resetting the CMOS battery just to keep things running. It’s a frustrating process, as even a single render can trigger a crash. I’m actually reseating the card again as I write this from my phone.
Have any of you dealt with weird hardware glitches or "ghosts in the machine" like this before? It’s been a massive headache trying to pinpoint the culprit.
I’m doing everything I can to solve this so I can get back to work as soon as possible. Thank you so much for sticking with me while I figure this out!

You too brother! I always look forward for your comment, like i said earlier it get me going when I feel down, so Thank you so much for your comments and thank you so much for all of your comments, It really means a lot!
try a different VGA card power supply – try a different one does the power supply have sufficient capacity? power supply cables?
I tried it with my 3060 and worked perfect but the 3080 didn't. Like gave display but when I render anything the display goes off. And I had reseat the GPU for the pc to display again. I'll be swapping the pcie cables tomorrow if it works... Victory!
Did you check/replace the cables from the PSU to the GPU? Not an expert (sadly) but sometimes they aren't as well made as we hope! Good luck with the vagaries of computer maintenance, sounds like gremlins strike again! Can't wait for the next update!
Yep, I'll be trying that tomorrow, my PSU is not Modular but it has 3 PCIE cables so I'll try swapping them, cause I saw one of cable has no metal holes inside it like the other one. There's no burns marks or decoloration on them but I'll swap it anyway
i pray to Omnissiah to fix your pc
Thank you brother 🙏
