I have the following computer that I have been using for mining:
- msi 890FXA-GD70 motherboard, model# MS-7640 - 1 Saphire Radeon HD 6990 - 1 SilverStone Power Supply 1500W, SST-ST1500
I recently bought a new card (Diamond Radeon HD 6990) which I installed into an available motherboard PCI slot and connected both power slots at the top of the card with the power supply. (I was trying to replicate the way the first card was wired that came with this machine. I noticed there were 2 cables with a tag saying 6+2PIN(PCI) +12V7 and 6+2PIN(PCI) +12V8, so I just some additional cables that came with the computer with the tags 6+2PIN(PCI) +12V5 and 6+2PIN(PCI) +12V6)
Then I booted up the computer. The screen flickered a few times but after about 1 minute it began booting up.
Then I started mining with the two mining tasks that I had set up for the two GPUs of my existing card.
Then the computer shut down. Now I can't boot up the computer anymore. The power supply doesn't even turn on.
I removed the second card and still, same thing, the power supply remains off.
