Posted August 28, 2019 So I've just finished my first PC build, and it seems to work fine, except with the display. When I try turning it on, one of the following things happens: 1. Shows motherboard screen, but after it finishes loading goes black 2. Gets to the login screen, but after attempting to log in, goes black 3. Doesn't reach motherboard screen at all, goes black straight away Things I've tried: 1. Rolling back/disabling the graphics card This solves the issue, but it of course means I can't use the card, which sucks. Would like to find a solution that allows me to use it. 2. Safe mode Successfully boots, but again, no graphics card 3. Changed monitor cables Switched from a display port cable to an HDMI one. No difference. I should also mention that this happened during Windows Installation as well, but booted to the setup screen after a forced restart, so I thought that was the end of the problem (at the time). Here are my specs, if that's important: CPU: Intel i3-8100 (w/ stock cooler) Motherboard: MSI Z370-A Pro RAM: G.Skill V Ripjaws (only one stick installed due to dead slot on mobo) PSU: EVGA 500w GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB Mini Hard Drive: WD Blue 1TB Case: Rosewill Nautilus I realize that it's usable, provided I don't use the GPU, but I would really appreciate any help solving this issue. Thanks for any replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 28, 2019 Sounds like your GPU is duff or the drivers are duff. Set the boot graphics device to iGPU in BIOS, put in your 1060, boot in to Windows, DDU your 1060 drivers and reinstall. Brands I wholeheartedly reccomend (though do have flawed products): Apple, Razer, Corsair, Asus, Gigabyte, bequiet!, Noctua, Fractal, GSkill (RAM only) Wall Of Fame (Informative people/People I like): @Glenwing @DrMacintosh @Schnoz @TempestCatto @LogicalDrm @Dan Castellaneta Useful threads: How To Make Your Own Cloud Storage Spoiler Guide to Display Cables/Adapters Spoiler PSU Tier List (Latest)- Spoiler Main PC: See spoiler tag Laptop: 2020 iPad Pro 12.9" with Magic Keyboard Spoiler PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gKh8zN CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 3.8 GHz 12-Core OEM/Tray Processor (Purchased For $419.99) Motherboard: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula ATX AM4 Motherboard (Purchased For $356.99) Memory: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory (Purchased For $130.00) Storage: Kingston Predator 240 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive (Purchased For $40.00) Storage: Crucial MX300 1.05 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive (Purchased For $100.00) Storage: Western Digital Red 8 TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (Purchased For $180.00) Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2070 8 GB WINDFORCE Video Card (Purchased For $370.00) Case: Fractal Design Define R6 USB-C ATX Mid Tower Case (Purchased For $100.00) Power Supply: Corsair RMi 1000 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply (Purchased For $120.00) Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer (Purchased For $75.00) Total: $1891.98 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-04-02 19:59 EDT-0400 身のなわたしはる果てぞ 悲しわたしはかりけるわたしは Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 28, 2019 Author Unfortunately, I can't even get to BIOS with the GPU in. Or maybe I can, I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 28, 2019 Have you tried connecting the graphics card to other PCIe slot? Maybe the slot is bad... If it doesn't solve try with another graphics card if you have a spare or try that GPU on another computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
