I just made a new pc and swapped the 2080 ti from my old case to my new one. It was working great until all of the sudden it crashed after hours and the 2080 ti had one red light above where you plug in the power cables. It wouldn't display so I took it out and put it back in and things were back to normal with the red light gone. It's been about a day now and I was playing some games and went to watch tv and when I came back it has the red light again but is working. Does anyone know what this red light means?

Are you using one PCIe Power Cable to your Graphics Card or Two Separate PCIe Cables?
Two Separate PCIe Power Cables are recommended.

Just one I believe. 8 pin to the power supply and the other end has two 6+2 pins plugged into the graphics card.

Add a Second PCIe Power Cable.
Use only  One 6+2 pins from each cable.

Thank you. You think it just wasn't getting enough power?

Sometimes, but the Ti Version Cards like having more power and 2 cables provide the needed power.
What Power Supply are you using?

I'm using the corsair RM1000X. Sounds like an easy fix. I will open it up and run another cable through tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the help. I was getting a bit scared xD

Not sure what a single red light means, but 3 red lights mean the card is stuck in flash mode.

I learned that with my first card a few months ago xD

I added another PCIe and my computer has been great so far. Thank you for the help I really appreciate it! I'll post if it happens again but I think you solved it. Thank you again.
