I just finished my first PC build, which I've had issues building, with the old motherboard. I now got the new motherboard and re-built the PC again. Everything was working fine, I managed to install Windows, and was installing some software and monitoring the temperatures when suddenly the PC started rebooting and then shut down. I tried to reboot it obviously but the monitor wasn't receiving signal from neither my GPU or Motherboard. I had some Graphics Drivers downloading in the background on it's own by Geforce Experience, so I guess it could have been that it tried to apply the new Drivers but shut down during boot? Though why doesn't it work with the DVI-D cable attached to the motherboard? Anyways, here's my specs: Gigabyte GTX 760 2GB Asrock A88M-G/3.1 AMD Athlon 860K (With stock cooler) Corsair CX500 Versa H21 Ballistix Sport 2x4GB Looking for some quick suggestions of what the issue could be and what I can do to fix it. I've tried removing CMOS battery and booting with just 1 RAM stick.
disconnect all cables to drives, reseat both power connectors to motherboard, use 1 stick of ram after reseating it. remove videocard & use onboard video.
I did what you suggested, and still no signal on monitor. Though I didn't test the onboard video, I've only used the GPU, so I guess there's also a possibility that the onboard video is somehow broken/incompatible.
You think the power supply broke down somehow, though the fans spin and the hard drive also starts to spin? It's difficult to get a psu borrowed now when I'm off from the city for xmas, or any other extra equipment overall.
Is that information relevant as it did work perfectly fine and what I've looked up 400w should be enough for this PC. Edit: Also there might be the chance that it's not working because of the driver installation thing, though I'm not sure if it's because of that.
is not a driver issue if nothing is seen before windows loads as the driver only works in windows not before. because the fans & hdd spin does not mean the psu is good until you try another psu to see if still have same issue or not.
Have you found fix for that? I know it might sound stupid but my neighbour in Sweden called me couple of days ago with similar issue with his website. I've tried to boot with only 1 ram in mobo and nothing. I've tried couple of combinations of RAM in different slots and it turned out that (he had 4 slots) ram in 2 of them wasn't booting monitor, but the other two were working, which was weird. So finally I had to find the perfect combination for two RAM sticks and now it's working flawlessly.
