Hi everyone. I booted up my PC earlier today and was surprised when I had no output on my monitor. I went to peek around my PC and found that my 3080 was displaying a single red light at the rightmost LED on the PCB. What does this mean? I tried reseating the card into the PCIe slot and replugging the PSU cables.

    I've had the exact same problem also happen yesterday. Bizarre. There are a total of 4 possible LED lights that light up. At the end of the RGB light up 3080 text, mine is [ () (*) () () ] 3rd from the right, is yours the same? EVGA rep told me to move the PCIE cables around; see if that works for you. I only bought this card a month ago for my first ever build so I'm extremely bummed.

    It's not getting power from one of the PCI-E cables, or the card is dead.
    Try moving the cables around to eliminate the possibility of a bad cable, a cable which isn't fully plugged in, or a bad PSU output. If the position of the red LED moves, it's a cable or PSU issue, not a card issue.
