About a year ago, I've upgraded my Laptop (Acer Aspire A317-51G) from 8GB of Ram (2x4GB) to 20GB (1x4GB, 1x16GB). It always worked fine but yesterday, it just decided to not boot -> It starts, the Power LED turns on, but there is no video, the display doesn't even turn on. If I remove the stick of RAM that I added a year ago and replace it with the old one, it does the same thing. I have no other slots to test, because the other 4GB are soldered to the Mobo.

So whenever I turn on my computer, I usually get no video. I can get around it by turning it off and then turning it back on, but the amount of times I have to do it varies, I want to fix the problem permanently so I don't have to sometimes spend 5-10 minutes turning my pc on and waiting for a display to come on and then turning it off when the display does not come on within the usual time it does. I speculate that it could be 4 parts in my pc: My GPU, there is a good chance as this is where my monitors are plugged into and the GPU handles display and stuff. My CPU, I don't see what could be at fault but it's still on my list because it's one of the few parts I haven't replaced in my pc yet. My RAM, I haven't replaced my ram ever, so it's also quite likely it's at fault, the ram could probably cause something like this. And finally, my HDD, I don't think so as I can't boot into bios either and I get no display and I just don't believe that it can cause this issue. Specs: HDD = WDC WD10EURX-63C57Y0 1tb SSD = EVO 970 1tb (connected via adaptor) (not in use yet and issue persists to before ownership of the SSD) CPU = i5 2500 3.3GHz 16gb of ram (1333Mhz) GPU = GTX 1060 3gb Motherboard = P8H61-M LX R2.0 DVD/CD-ROM Drive = HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GH40N I really hope this is something I can fix without buying any new parts, but it's likely not the case, if anyone has any ideas to how I can fix this, it'd be much appreciated. Even just telling me that it's a problem I can't fix without buying new parts and why would be appreciated. Thanks for reading my post

Hi everyone! I have problem like in this post but i notices that my CPU power plugin one wire is burned, but i change all plug, blean on motherboard, check motherboard back, there is nothing evel brown from burning, yesterday in about 22 i turned it off and all was be fine, now i turn it on and no beep on startav, everytime in normal i have one beep when turn on afte POST check, its more than 12 years old, but for my its really fine pc, i hope there i no big problem. My pc: MB: GA 970A-DS3 CPU: AMD FX6200 (3.8GHz /6 core) GPU: GeForce RTX760 2Gb (if i write correct) RAM: 16Gb (3 planks 2x4Gb and 1x8Gb) Power: Chieftec GPS 700A8 (700W) HDD and else not important, and my favorit old keyboard from 2002, i clean it and change thermal paste 4 days ago and those 4 days use pc and all was just fine, can someone help me? In attachmeni is how looks when burned, but i changet, check voltage and there all fine in both yellow is 12v

This has been a journey. A week and a half ago I found my PC to not be outputting video. I had left it sitting idle overnight, no sleep or shut down. Peripherals still had power. Rebooted the system, nothing, not even the motherboard splash/boot screen. I had some artifacting happening on one monitor on rare occasion and having already started looking to upgrade anyway, I assumed it was the GPU. I checked all of the display cables to each monitor, tried HDMI instead of DisplayPort, the monitors themselves were getting video from consoles, etc. Tried resetting the CMOS and re-seating/swapping the RAM positions (two 8GB sticks of CMK16GX4M2D3600C18 from Corsair), still got nothing. Bought a 6700XT, installed it (and didn't remove it from this point forward), nothing. Took my system over to a friends, tossed his RAM (a single 8GB stick of M378A1K43CB2-CRC from Samsung) in my build and boom it worked. This led me to believe one of my RAM sticks had gone bad. Kept the one we deduced was bad out of the system and went home. Plugged my system in, started fiddling with going through the DDU process and puttinng this troubleshooting behind me, but decided to save it for the next day. Left my PC to idle. Woke up, ran DDU, and downloaded AMD's GPU management software. Rebooted, no video after. Assumed this was all coincidental and the "good" stick of RAM went bad. Used the magic of Amazon to get a 2x16GB kit of Corsair's CMH32GX4M2D3600C18W. Installed those and back to normal! Until I rebooted to enable Smart Access Memory. After the shutdown portion of the reboot, no more video. So at this point I was convinced the motherboard must be shorting one of the RAM slots or something. Order a new motherboard, same model as the linked parts list BUT it was rev. 1.2 (referred to as 1.X in the documentation as far as I can find), rather than the original's rev. 1.1. Motherboard arrived yesterday and I went back to the aforementioned friend's place to try my original RAM in his system because we somehow overlooked doing that the first time. It booted right up with video, no problem. This further reinforced in my mind that my motherboard is the issue. Wake up this morning and gut my PC (an excellent time to clean up some lazy cable management) and swap my motherboard. Excited to finally enjoy using my PC after a while and...you guessed it, no video! At this point, I'm considering just moving to a secluded cabin in the woods away from any and all technology. Now thinking it is obviously the CPU, I grabbed my 3600 that I had replaced with my 5800X3D and popped that in. Still, nothing. One stick of 2x8GB Corsair RAM, nothing. Two sticks in swapped slots, nothing. Other stick by itself? Nothing. Pop the 2x16GB of RAM in, nothing. One stick, nothing. Other stick solo? SOMETHING. I finally had video again, and all was running as normal. But knowing that I had to continue searching for answers and see if it was still going to replicate the problem, I regretfully restarted. Lost video, who could have seen that coming? Try both 2x16GB sticks in swapped slots, nothing. Tried going back to my 5800X3D with the 2x16GB kit, nothing no matter the stick/slot combo. So finally, I do something that I likely should have done much earlier in this process and checked the QVL docs for both revisions of the motherboard and for both Vermeer- and Matisse-generation CPUs. None of the RAM mentioned in this post is supported. Which has now opened up even more questions in my mind, or at least creates further confusion around questions like "Why does it work sometimes and not others?" Looking over the QVL docs, they have a Sep. 2021 upload date on the Gigabyte website and I know Corsair has done a refresh of their RGB modules recently, so suppose it could truly a simple matter of none of the modules actually being intended to work in this motherboard but I have had the 2x8GB kit in the rev 1.1 motherboard for over 2 years now with no issues. How does that work? Is it a matter "well it could work but we're not saying that it for sure will, that's why it's not on the list"? I updated the BIOS at the beginning of March when I got my 5800X3D and it ran with no issues until this mystery started. The QVL docs also show no support for any of Corsair's white RGB models, at least from what I can tell, and that seems strange given that, while they would be a different SKU, their actual compatibility shouldn't be any different than the black RGB sticks of the same spec, right? Do QVLs not get updated over time to factor in new model releases? Part of me wants to think that this could obviously be solved by just finding sticks of a supported SKU, but that just leads my brain back into wondering why the build worked for so long without an issue to begin with. So now we're here. And I'm confused, looking like Charlie Day on the search for Pepe Silvia. The only thing I haven't replaced is the PSU, storage and cooling, and I can't imagine how any of those would play into this. I have basically built an entirely new PC at this point, and it is not meaningfully different in any way than when I started this process, I just have less money and more PC parts that I don't need. Does anyone have some sage wisdom? Is there something obvious that I'm just completely overlooking?

So my shiny new RTX 3090 came in today and I went through the process of peeling and drooling over how amazing it looks. Pulled out my old Gigabyte 3090 and added the extra cable to my PSU, then fired up my computer and nothing. Ok so I power cycled it and it came on. Then I registered it through Amory Crate and not 30 seconds later my video cut out. My computer was still on but just the video died. Reset again...nothing. Reseated the card checked the cables and powered it back on with minimal peripherals (one monitor, network, keyboard and mouse). Still nothing. Literally nothing, no boot screen or anything. Contacted ASUS and they sent me to Best Buy. Anybody have any idea where I can get it repaired or any other trouble shooting ideas? I am game for anything. I feel like if I send it to ASUS they will just try to refund my money and I can not return it from where I bought it because I purchased it on StockX...heads up they DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS!!! I will say that again. STOCKX DOES NOT OFFER RETURNS!!!! I am willing to ship it to a reputable and verified business to have it repaired if need be.

A problem has been bothering me for a year and a half or so. After looking into it on and off for that much time, I turn to the ever wise forums for help again The video on my TV will occasionally quickly fade to black for no obvious reason. I got the TV brand new as a raffle prize at my job, it's an RCA RHOS651SM (65 inch 4K SmarTV). Kind of a crap box, but I effectively paid $8 for 65inch 4k so I can't complain. In all my troobleshooting here's what I've discovered: - The audio does not cut out - The usual "no input" card does not come up, like when the tv is on but the device is off (indicating a black signal being displayed, rather than there being no signal) - The problem is consistent on multiple HDMI inputs and multiple cables. - This behavior is often replicable, with certain screens or games consistently triggering it (i.e. Disney+ on PS4, or the home edit screen in Animal Crossing on Switch, or any part of Donut County on PS4, and one specific location I've found so far in Kentucky Route Zero on PS4). - As a quick fix whenever it happens, I toggle the "HDMI EDID" setting on the TV between "1.4" and "2.0" (none of my devices output at 4k so no real difference for me). This fixes the picture until triggered again. - This behavior has never occurred in the built in Netflix or Youtube apps, even when streaming & displaying 4k content. I have two resonable guesses, but I've mostly explained those away: 1. Because it's a cheap TV, the device and TV aren't 'handshaking' correctly, and "refreshing" the HDMI version picks it back up. I don't know too much about that proccess but I have to guess if that's the problem then there would be no signal to begin with. 2. The display controller is cheap and overheating and activating some kind of failsafe. But it's only processing 1080p signals coming from external devices. And if it's advertised/designed to display 4k then I really doubt that's the issue (not to mention Netflix and Youtube displaying mostly fine (sometimes Youtube will stutter when streaming 4k, but I'd bet that's the onboard CPU being too slow to decode that stream)). I've been observing this behavior for a long time and I am completely out of ideas. so as always, any input is greatly appreciated!

My old PC is starting just fine, but the monitor doesn't read an output.

Is there anything else I haven't tried yet that could solve the problem?

Hi everyone! I've assembled a new build (specs below), however, when I turn it on, I get lights on, spinning fans, USB power, but no video feed on my monitor. I'm running windows 10 on a SSD. However, this SSD was directly removed from an older built (specs below) and installed without any formating or clean install. Bios version is F14. I've asked the store to update it for me since I don't own an older AMD CPU. Therefore, I didn't clean the CMOS to avoid any trouble on this front. I've tried: Reseating the GPU on the new built: nope Changing the GPU for an older GTX 970: it boots as usual and I could see the other components are showing on boot screen and windows. It lives!! Updating the BIOS: already update Using the new GPU on my old built: it boots as usual and the system recognized it. I used a quick benchmark (can't remember the name) and it worked without a problem. Reseating the cables: nope Booting without HD/SSD: nope Booting just the main components (CPU, GPU, MOBO and RAM): nope Changing the PSU: nope (ugh!!! It was my last shot) New built: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DMsBDq Old built: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/J47gXy Any other suggestions, please? Any help is hugely welcomed!

Hi, I recently built an old PC for emulation, but when i turned it on, I saw nothing on my monitor, just a window saying "No Video Signal". Im connecting it through VGA. I have a Gigabyte GA-945GCMX-s2 motherboard with Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.80GHZ and 8GB of RAM, no Graphics Card. The PC boots up fine and the fan is spinning but I cant even get to BIOS, I don't know what's the problem. I tried almost everything, please help.

I'm troubleshooting an 840 g3 which displays the following symptoms Powers on Screen remains off Fans ramp up from slow to full bore External screen (connected via vga) doesn't show anything Doesn't appear to boot It has one stick of 16gb ddr4 (dont' have any other laptop with ddr4 to test the so-dimm in), I tried swapping between dimm1 and 2 slots. Starting the laptop without any ram yields the same results as listed above. Win+P or Fn+F4 didn't do anything. I tried unlugging the main battery and the cmos battery but still doesn't boot. Am I looking at a defective mainboard and/or something else?

Hi guys, since I built my computer, I realized I have been experiencing an issue with the motherboard (brand new). What happens is that if both my mouse and keyboard are not connected to the PC the motherboard turns the VGA LED ON and takes a lot to boot up. I know the graphics card is fine because I have been playing for the last 6 months without any problem, the OS is installed in a Samsung 970 Evo Plus, so it takes seconds for it to load the system, however if I disconnect either my keyboard or mouse to use it with my work computer and then go back and turn ON my PC I always get the same issue. I have tried by resetting the BIOS and also with BIOS updates, but nothing seems to work. Do you guys have any idea of what could be causing this? I could try uploading a video showing the behavior if that helps.

I'm hoping someone can help. I recently just installed a new 6tb WD Blue HDD in my rig. This is now the 4th HDD in my rig along with a 1tb WD Blue, a 3tb WD Blue and a 3tb Toshiba. The computer worked perfectly fine for a full day with the case open as I was transferring data from an older, dying WD Green drive. I removed said dying drive, closed her up and powered it on. Again, worked perfectly fine for 8+ hours. Shut it down for the night, turn it on the next day, it powers on, fans and LEDs are running, but nothing on the screen. I tried two different monitors with 2 different HDMI cables and neither recognize a signal. The video card is new, I just installed it 9 months ago. I open the case back up and I notice the CPU LED on the mobo is solid red whenever I power it up. I tried reseating the CPU, the RAM and the video card. Made sure all cables were secure. Tried removing the RAM, tried just one stick of RAM. Tried unplugging the new HDD. All with the same result: powers up, nothing on the screen, all fans and LEDs running and the CPU LED still solid red. I'm trying to avoid buying a new PSU, CPU and mobo trying to figure out which one is to blame (hopefully none of I'm missing something simpler) so I was hoping someone with more knowledge than me might be able to narrow it down better. I built this computer quite a while ago so I'm aware that the mobo and CPU are quite old at this point. Just hoping they still have life in them. My main curiosity is that everything has been working perfectly fine for a long time and it just happens to go down 2 days after installing a new HDD, which leads me to lean towards the PSU, if anything. But I've had to replace the PSU a few times during the life of this rig and never has it triggered the CPU LED. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

So I picked up an Elgato 4k60 pro mk2. It's detected by windows but as soon as I try using it, nothing. It's not detected as a display in my gaming pc. OBS just says "no signal" and the 4k capture utility shows "No EDID. Reboot computer". I tried the included hdmi cable and plugging it into the gpu in my streaming pc, and passthrough to the monitor, still nothing. Firmware shows 00.00 and upon checking elgatos pages, they state "DO NOT FLASH". Any suggestions? My gaming monitor (1440p korean no-name) is using dvi so the capture card is connected to the hdmi port on my rtx 2060

Greetings! I'm in the process of building PC for work with office stuff. I confronted with weird behavior, looking forward for advises. System specification: new Gigabyte GA-A320M-H (rev. 1.1) - serial number starts with SN2020, as far as I know it means it have been manufactured 20th week of year 20; new Ryzen 3 3200g; new HyperX HX426C16FB3K2/16 - is a kit of two 1G x 64-bit (8GB) DDR4-2666 CL16 SDRAM; used PSU Thermaltake 850W P/N:W0131 - overkill for such system but it were gathering dust on a shelf, no reason to buy another; none drives connected. The problem: No signal to a monitor! Tried both outputs from motherboard DVI-D and HDMI to different monitors. Monitors and cables are fine for sure. What I tried: I add to the system 1080 TI from my gaming PC. I connect DVI-D to the video card. HDMI still connected from motherboard to another monitor. I boot up the system. It launches as it supposed to be. Getting signal to a monitor through DVI-D. I check BIOS version. It is F50. I change setting "Initial Display Output" from "Auto" to "IGD Video". I do "Save $ Exit". System restarts as it supposed to be. Getting signal to a monitor through HDMI from motherboard connection. Turn of the system and disconnect the discrete video card. On system boot up there is no more signal to a monitor through HDMI from motherboard connection. As Gigabyte assure, the motherboard supports the CPU with BIOS version F40 or higher. Should be ok with current F50. I don't get it, why it works only with discrete video card connected? I made a video showing the issue: I tried it with different monitor with motherboard HDMI connection (in video I use DVI-D) - same behavior. I tried it with different discrete video card (GTX 460) - same behavior.

I have a problem that has been going on for some time (2-3 years). It's hard to explain what it really is. Sometimes, my computer stops playing music, stops videos (starts buffering on youtube), there is no sound in games and when I minimize the game window and return to the game there is a black screen with window borders (the game runs on full screen) - I can't exit the game by clicking the "x" button in the corner, I have to end the task. When I open the game after the incident it runs, but has no sound. Other than that computer doesn't crash, etc. For example, when I'm doing a project in Adobe Illustrator I can normally work, finish the project and save it without any issues, but spotify stops playing music. I can open new programs, but the issue still exists. What causes the issue (and when it happens): It happens when it wants to. Sometimes when I turn on my computer it happens within 5 minutes (sometimes immediately, sometimes a few minutes later). Sometimes it happens a few hours after I turn on my computer. Sometimes I can run my computer for 12-15h and it will work just fine. I checked if it does that under stress. I opened 2 games, gimp, chrome x2 (around 30-40 tabs total), edge, spotify, origin, a few smaller programs, adobe illustrator and tried to open photoshop, but it didn't want to open due to lack of ram, but the porblem didn't happen. I could watch YT and listen to spotify without any issues. Apex Legends was running fine (the performance was only a little bit worse). However, I've noticed that sometimes it happens exactly when I'm opening a new program (game, browser, etc.). Sometimes it happens just like that, I can leave my PC for 2 minutes and after I come back there's the issue. Sometimes it happens when I turn on the computer, I reboot it, it happens again (and 3-4 times like that, one after another). Sometimes when I'm rebooting my PC after the provlem occured there is a message that Task Host Window is stopping background tasks. What fixes the issue: Again, hard to tell what exactly. When I reboot my computer the problem is usually fixed. Sometimes I have to reboot it a few times (expecially if the problem happened within 5 minutes after I turned it on). When the problem happens some time after the system boot (a few hours after) sometimes it helps to end chrome, game (usually apex legends) and spotify task in the task manager. I didn't really test if other programs work after that or just the ones that the task was ended. However, sometimes anding the task won't help and I have to reboot the system. What is ok: CPU & GPU temperatures are fine RAM is working fine (I did a memtest x86) What I did to fix the problem: System reinstall Removing and installing the GPU and RAM (exchanging their place too) Unplugging and pluging in the GPU cables MemTest x86 (no RAM issues, at least it didn't show any) DDU (hard uninstalling GPU drivers), multiple times Installing multiple GPU drivers (they are not the issue) Updating the chipset drivers (to AMD version 5.12.0.38, 08.03.2020) I don't know if it's a software or hardware related issue. I think that the first thing to do would be to find what causes the issue (if it's even possible). Without it, it will be really hard to fix the problem, since I won't know if the thing I did fixed the problem. Thank you if you read everything. I hope that someone will know something, maybe had a similar issue. It really drives me crazy.

i recently rebuilt my pc, and my gpu isnt being detected as the title states. everything else works fine, it boots into windows and bios shows everything except for the graphics card. ive tried downloading drivers for it to see if that would fix it but i get a message saying, "the NVIDIA graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows", and "this graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware". bios is up to date and so is windows. when i turn on my pc, the fans on the card stay on for 5-10 minuets. i currently have my monitor plugged into the mb as thats the only way i can get video. any help would be great. build: cpu: i7 9700k gpu: msi 2070 super ventus oc gp edition mb: msi mpg z390 gaming plus ram: corsair lpx 16gb (2 sticks of 8gb) psu: evga supernova 750w gold standard plus

Hello everyone I just got a new hard drive. I turned off the PC, unplugged it, plugged the new one in, removed the GPU(I did this because I can't see BIOS through the GPU as no signal is delivered until windows has started), plugged the VGA cable into the MOBO and than proceeded to install Win 10 on the new Toshiba 1TB HDD. I than (once done) shut down the PC, re-inserted the GPU and..... nothing.... absolutely nothing. The GPU fan was spinning at I think around 40-50% and the monitor wasn't receiving signal. I tried restarting, re-installing Win 10, I tried to disable onboard graphics from the BIOS (after having re-removed the GPU) and still no signal. I see no reason why it should have died as it is only a month old but that looks like what's happened... Any suggestions before I bring it back to wootware? Thanks in advance 4 the help. And no, I have no other PC to test it on and no other PCI-E slot in the MOBO.

From the day i got this mobo im having this issue where my mobo boots normally, with a normal AA code, but the VGA_LED light up and stay on, i can even hear the windows boot sound, so i usually turn it off via the start button and turn it on again, and guess what? it boots just fine. Specs: AX1500i Rampage V Extreme i7 6800K 2x8 G.Skill Ripjaws 3200MHz Galax GTX 980 TI What i've tried: Clear CMOS Re-update the bios to the same version(3502) Downgrade it to version 3301 Disabled slot 2, 3 and 4(i just did that so idk if its gonna work) I did not check the power cables on my VGA simply because it lights up, the fans spin up and after a restart it works, i can put it under stress for as long as i want, the system wont shut down or anything. I also havent re-seated it, i tried checking if it was fully plugged and it feels like it is, its very firm in there, i got both screws very tight on the back of the card. Things to consider: I had this VGA on another board, but with the same PSU and case(Obsidian 900D), no issues whatsoever. Just because i was feeling like doing it, i got the origial copy of my VGA bios and re-modded it, juuust to make sure it wasnt funky, guess what? it was fine and still fine. What should i do if i get this issue again? i was thinking about disassembling my VGA and cleaning it, but im not sure if thats gonna help, because like i said, it works, but not on the first boot, and no, i have no clue how to replicate this issue, it just happens. Thanks in advance.

I recently got an RX480. its the 4gb MSI blower style card. I had been running my computer with no GPU and no problems other than being fairly bad at games, obviously. Anyways i installed the GPU and it boots and works nearly flawlessly. Sometimes it will drop video signal though. It is about 75% of the time when i turn the computer on. The screen goes black just after the windows logo and right before the log in screen. My tv says no signal at that point. The only other near guarantee for it to go black is when quitting rocket league to the desktop. I am able get the input back by unplugging the HDMI cable from the GPU and plugging it back in. Its not always the first try but within 4 tries it usually comes back. Im using a TV since this computer is in my living room and is used mostly for simple gaming and watching netflix. Its a pain in the ass to get up and destroy the relaxing vibe to unplug and replug the HDMI cable. Ive started to revert back to my consoles for games due to this issue and thats what I'm trying to get rid of. MSI 4gb RX480 ASRock Fatality ac miniitx 6600k overclocked to 4.2ghz TV= lg 49UH6030 (i think this is the model, it may be one year older but essentially the same. i can look more into it if necessary) Node 202 which comes with a GPU raiser.

Hi LTT Community, I'm in the process of building a computer (https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/DkQzxY) for my Step-Dad, he wanted to buy a pre-built one but I advised him that for the price range he was looking at, he would be better off having me build one. The Crosshair VI's Q-Code LED's (below the main display) help by indicating failures for DRAM, CPU, VGA and BOOT. My DRAM one is lit up. The post code is 'Ad'. It isn't posting, there is no visual output on the display and I can't get into the BIOS. I've moved each DIMM individually into each slot, each time I try to POST the DRAM error indicator still lights up. When I try to boot with no RAM the indicator still lights up but the POST code is '4B' (which is to do with RAM) and the light still remains on (although I suspect that is due to the lack of RAM) I have no other motherboard to try and no other DDR4 I can use to troubleshoot the problem. I have no reason to suspect any fault with the CPU as the LED indicating that the CPU is 'ready to boot' is green and the LED next to that of the DRAM one isn't lit. I have swapped the GPU for a GT610 (so that the GTX 1070 isn't what is failing to output a signal. Additionally, booting with no GPU yields the same results.) and I've changed the HDMI cable and monitor to ensure that they aren't at fault. Still nothing. I could try swapping the PSU from my PC but as I have an LGA1150 system the Motherboard and RAM can't be used as it is DDR3. If anyone has any troubleshooting steps I could try that would be greatly appreciated. I have included some pictures, I'm not sure if they'll help. Thanks, Sam Ps. I was going to build the PC on Friday however half way through the build I was going to install the CPU Cooler but stupidly forgot to get AM4 mounting hardware for it. I tried to post it very quickly without a cooler to ensure everything was working but that failed. I presumed it was due to the lack of a cooler and that it was a safety mechanism not to boot but I did not investigate it further. I presume that the memory was at fault then aswell. **EDIT** The RAM is Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-2400, which is advertised as supporting Ryzen.

Hello, I have no video with my integrated graphics.PC Specs:MSI Z97 Gaming 5 (latest bios)I5 4670K8gb Mushkin Silver Line 1333MhzCorsair VX 550wGeforce 7300 gs (test video card)I was watching a stream (PC was working fine) on twitch, went to eat and when I arrived the PC monitor was without signal, audio from stream was still playing so only the video was not working. I press the power button to shut down. Once it turned off I press the button again, the PC start to turn on and off each 1-2 seconds, ON and OFF and ON and so on.Memory was not the problem since I installed another one and it didn't work. Disconnected everything, disk, fans, USB headers, sound card and the PC turned ON normally but there was no video. The Motherboard display showed numbers between 28 to 34 (Early CPU Initialization).I installed a spare video card, 7300 gs and I had video!!On windows devices it does not find the Intel HD 4600 graphics.When I plug the DVI cable to the motherboard I have no video, on graphics card I do.I think I have a defective Motherboard but why was it working fine and suddenly no video?Sorry for my English.Thanks.

Pc starts, LED, HD start but mouse keyboard and monitor not (display port monitor G-Sync) There is something wrong with the startup of my pc. There are 2 way’s my pc stars: 1. Normal start every peripherals start. 2. Pc starts, fan’s, LED, HD start but mouse and keyboard don’t light up and my monitor won’t turn on. "There is no signal". Fix for the second problem is; long press on the power button (force shutdown). Then restart immediately. If I do that a copple of times my pc start like normal. I tried; I removed my GPU, plugt HDMI in the motherboard and pc didn't start. Reseated the GPU Updating windows 10, Did a Display Driver Uninstaller, Checked for updates in Nvidia Geforce, Updated Motherboard and CPU Clear BIOS USB only work with my External HD, Mic and music mixer. Mouse and keyboard don't work on any USB. Do you guy’s have a solution to just start my pc in a normal way?

So it to make this easier in going to lists my drive letters and what type they are C: SSD - OS M: HDD - Storage G: HDD - Cold Storage S: SSD - Game Drive F: HDD - External One of my games on my S: drive tried to update and threw a disk read/write error, I checked in windows explorer and when I clicked on my S: drive it failed to open just sat their retrying for a few min with no results, so I restarted my computer. After I finish restarting I open explorer and my S: is not showing but now my M: & F: drives have doubled up on a separate indent in explorer (https://i.imgur.com/Z1sPUvA.png (S: & G: are unplugged in this picture)) I checked disk management and my S: drive isn't showing their either (the F and M aren't doubled up in disk management). Next, i tried reseating the S: drive and reboot, doesn't show, then I tried unplugging it and booted up without the S: drive plugged in, M: and F: drives still have their doubles in explorer. After that I tried unplugging my G: drive as well rebooted, M: & F: are still doubled up. Now the weird shit happens, I tried leaving my G: drive unplugged and plug the S: drive into the >SAME< SATA data & power that G: was using and when I boot my computer, I get no video signal at all, not sure if its just no video or if it's not loading the bios and windows as well, its not throwing any post error beeps (I don't have a post code readout) which makes me think windows is loading but I just don't have any video for some reason. Anyone got any idea what the hells happening? PS: I'm omw to try the SSD in someone else's rig now. Edit 1: Tried the SSD on someone elses computer and it showed up in disk management as a new drive but when I tried formatting it, it threw an error "cannot read disk" or "cannot read file" with no other info.
