Graphics card won't work after xmp, what can i do?

[Zelrae]

It worked without any problem at first, the next day i opened bios to enable xmp and after that everything else like the case fans and the cpu fan still worked but the graphics card stopped working. No display and no fans. I took out the cmos battery and put it back on after waiting a bit a few times but the graphics card still didn't turn on. I took the pc to a pc hardware store and they said the issue was on the motherboard so i refunded it and got a new one, but as you can guess the graphics card still won't turn on. Tried it with a single ram stick and no change. Besides sending it to warranty, is there anything i can do?

Try the gpu in the pc shop in a different system (motherboard with different power supply) Sharkoon are sketchy at best for psu.

I dont think RAM XMP had anyting to do with this. Just bad timing. I would swap out that PSU ASAP. If you still aren't getting any video. Do 101 troubleshooting and see if you need to RMA the video card.

Try these and if it fails in the Shop contact @XFXSupport here for RMA help on the GPU, otherwise get it exchanged.

Agree with what others have said, XMP doesn't effect your video card at all. A faulty board or a failing power supply is likely the culprit, and the rest is coincidence.

It kinda does have smth to do with xmp because if you PSU is already struggling to run your other components of you enable xmp it will need more power and so if your PSU can't handle that it won't power up your GPU resulting in no post

I think the best option is either get as new PSU or borrow a stick of bad ram so that your PSU can handle it then go in bios disable xmp Conect your old ram and your done
