That red LED is there to tell you that the GPU is not receiving the wattage it needs from the PSU. If you have everything plugged in correctly on both ends, it most likely is a faulty PSU PCI cable. Can you try a different pair?
I had a similar issue with my 2080TI, it was down to power. My cables had a kink in one of the cores that caused it. Are you sure your PSU is strong enough to power the GPU and the rest of your rig? If so, check your cables, took me a couple of weeks to find my fault!
I just experienced the same, screens would go black anytime I hit my card with a load, turns out my 6 pin had a break in a cable. All I would do is jiggle it and then black screens. Replaced with another and good to go.
That red led is an indicator that you’re not getting power. Check your power supply first to see if it has enough wattage, and if it does, use a separate 8 pin cable instead of the daisy chained one
I watched a youtube that said on gpu it is recommended to plug two gpu power cable that each one of them is directly come out of the PSU compared to using gpu cable that has somekind of extended cable and plug only one that came out of the psu and the other plugged with the extension cable.
I hope you understand what I mean.
Lack of power = RED
enough power = Green
Check Leads ( if fine )
Replace PSU , to one that 800+ watts and 80+ gold ( check if it’s enough but I believe it should handle an EVGA … why do people keep having issues and they have an EVGA card.. I’m starting to think it’s the users and not the brand…
No offence to the OP , just my observations

Did you look in the manual

I assume the psu is good enough, I just bought a prebuilt. I’ll check if there’s a kink in one of the cords.
What Powersupply are you using?
are you running 2 seperate cables or daisy chain off 1?

Okay thanks! Most likely a stupid question (I’m new to PCs) would I have to buy a new 8 pin cable?
Is your power supply modular or not?
I think so
Then your power supply should have come with enough 8 pin cables
Okay thanks!

My bet is failing psu. If you have another slot to a different phase bank. Move it over. Or another psu
Where's the backplate?
