My x850 just randomly stopped working right now. I took off my CPU HFS, put some new paste on it, and put it back on. However, now my card says "Please plug power into the auxillary power plug" or something like that, even when there's a dedicated rail from the PSU plugged into it.

I tested mymobo with another card, HOWEVER that card was artifacting like MAD, but I'm not entrely sure if it's the card itself (it's really old and has been sitting around for awhile). I don't think it's the CPU.

Any help is appreciated.
 
I would suggest taking the card out, cleaning the PCIe slot and the gold fingers and re-installing.


If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may have to RMA...
 
It was the card, but I'm not worrying about RMAing it, I was going to upgrade soon anyways.
