Yes, mine is daisy chained. I had black screen stability issues that were solved with a GPU sag brace. I have a backup power supply from earlier trouble shooting that I'm hanging on to just in case and will run 2 cables if I ever put it back in. For now though, I haven't encountered any issues running the included 750M with 1 cable.

I solved mine with a GPU sag kit for 20 bucks. Corsair support was absolutely useless with troubleshooting and the RMA process. I opened my ticket on May 20th, Corsair promised return packaging materials were sent to me May 24th. Never showed. After numerous back and forths over the past two months, they finally created a label for the return packaging on July 2nd, but it STILL has not shipped. To clarify, my PC is now running stable, but it would be nice to have the return packaging available should I encounter another catastrophic hardware failure.

And include something about trying that in their troubleshooting tips.

Unsure. Hopefully this will be my last post on this forum. After all this... A 20 dollar GPU sag brace from amazon seems to have solved my crashes. I've had stability in multiple titles and VR since I installed it. Corsair should really ship one with machines that meet a certain weight threshold.

Finally crashed again. So over this.

Oh and by the way, it took them 39 days to create a label for sending me a packaging kit. They never responded to my request for an advanced RMA. I can't recommend staying away from Corsair machines enough.

I THINK I've solved it. Fingers crossed for some reliability over the next few days but I finally passed a Short Stress Test. Corsair ships these units with a 750W power supply, which on paper should meet the minimum requirement (keyword being "minimum") for the card. My unit shipped with a Gigabyte Eagle 10G OC with factory overclocking from Gigabyte, which would obviously increase power consumption, but Gigabyte still recommends 750. Tack on the processor, ram, motherboard, rgb, and you start running out of headroom. Corsair also only uses one split PCI-E cable to power an 8+2 card. Everything I've read suggests you should use 1 cable per 8 pin slot. So: either my power supply went bad completely (unlikely since I could boot and crashes only occurred under load), the 750W is insufficient for these machines, the cabling method shipped is insufficient, or some combination of the PSU AND cabling being insufficient. I swapped to a competitor's 850W power supply and have been running smoothly. I also found some strange "cable management" when pulling everything apart. Some connectors on the motherboard in my unit (wifi card cable being one of them), were crammed into the back of the case through the PSU bin. I was able to get the RM750 out and the new PSU in without damaging anything thankfully, but it was a pain. And to really, properly, remove the power supply it would mean you need to disassemble the entire unit to get access to mobo headers that are otherwise out of reach. My experience with Corsair has been absolutely miserable, and having to teach myself how to be a pc technician was not part of the plan when buying prebuilt. I guess at least I have the know-how to build a pc myself in the future.

Good luck getting any help even if you can get a hold of anyone. I opened my ticket on May 20th for a black screening i7200 pc. Return packaging kit was allegedly "sent to my address" on May 24th. And since then it's been a game of back and forth with sometimes more than a week between emails for them to tell me to keep waiting for an update. CorsairTravis on Reddit informed me that they were considering "abandoning the original plan and going with an Advanced RMA" for me on June 24th. I followed up via email making that request formal same day. I haven't heard anything back.

Weird that it's blue screening on boot. As far as trouble shooting hardware, I'd try reseating ram sticks and running a memtest the next time you get a successful boot. If that doesn't solve my next step would be checking cable connections. Not that I'm much help, but if you could post your blue screen event codes here there may be others here experiencing the same issue and/or people that can provide more help.

No dice on nvidia driver 471.11. Had some weird things going on with Corsair PC Doctor as well. Out of curiosity I ran the CUDA test first and the card passed. Then trying to run the short video test, it seemed like the program couldn't find the card and it didn't run any of the test steps or had some sort of unspecified error. Rebooted and the program crashed to a black screen during a successfully launched test, then the screen came back frozen with a glitchy picture. Hard rebooted and got another crash - just a black screen. Faulting application was Corsair PC Doctor - so there may be some sort of incompatibility with this set of nvidia drivers. Decided to launch a game and got roughly 40 minutes of play in Art of Rally before another black screen crash. For whatever reason Corsair PC Doctor saw the crash event but didn't log the faulting application or driver, but my gut says it may have been the same nvidia driver error I've been getting in the past: "The 'NVIDIA' GeForce RTX 3080 driver (C:\WINDOWS\system32\driverstore\filerepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_b2801df14ec7de03\nvlddmkm.sys) appears to hae caused a system crash."

I've only been able to get to the bios from the restart menus - not a dealbreaker for me. Not sure if you can force flash the bios, but even if you did it would probably void your warranty.

39 days since ticket 2004330490 opened I requested an advanced RMA on Thursday by email and have not received a response.

Check here for BIOS updates - Corsair's BIOS are custom for some reason so you have to get the BIOS from them. Not sure if they've updated BIOS for these systems yet but you can find yours here: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Systems/CORSAIR-ONE/CORSAIR-ONE-Compact-Gaming-PC/p/CS-9020021-NA?qty=1&productCodePost=CS-9020021-NA&CSRFToken=6682a978-0b29-4f87-a5a5-ac33cdd195f6#tab-downloads

Navigate to your system page on Corsair's site, and select the options that match your system specs. Once you've done this, click the downloads button. You should see an 11th gen bios option. https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categories/Products/Systems/CORSAIR-VENGEANCE-i7200-Series-Gaming-PC/p/CS-9050014-NA#tab-downloads Download the bios to a blank flash drive. Plug the flash drive into one of the USB slots on the back of your case directly into your motherboard. Reboot your system into bios. From the main bios menu press Ctrl + Alt + T to enter the bios flash mode. Select the bios update from your flash drive and follow on-screen instructions until installation is complete. This did not solve my black screen crashes, though hopefully it helps you.
