Random bugs on PC startup

[RonanM]

Hey, I was wondering if any could help me with my PC issue,

 

Recently, my friend and I upgraded my PC. I changed:

- From i5-7400 to Ryzen 5 3600

- Asus H110M-R motherboard to a MSI Tomahawk B450 MAX

- The addition of 2x8gb sticks of RAM (The same speed and type of RAM as before)

- Formatted my HDD and put the OS on the SSD

 

Initially, we installed the OS on the SSD and set it up completely, turned of the PC, did some more work to it and turned it back on to find the OS was not being detected. We messed with the boot priority for hours, but nothing changed to we reinstalled the OS again on the same SSD after formatting it. (Not sure if this is related to my current problem but I thought is was worth mentioning)

 

After reinstalling everything my friend left but there were still some problems with my PC. Most of the time, when the PC is turned on, the 'Arsenal Gaming' logo appears, the windows loading icon begins to whirl beneath it and then everything disappears. The screen then remains black no matter what I do. If I then restart it, it loads directly to the OS as if nothing funky happened before.

However, very rarely, when I turn on the PC, it loads directly to the OS and everything seems fine until I log in. Upon logging in, the monitors turn off and on periodically and the keyboard and mouse disconnect.

 

I lived with this for a few weeks and decided I would upgrade my GPU since I probably needed an upgrade anyway, and I thought as an added bonus the problem would disappear. Once I changed my 1050ti for a 1070 on sale. The problem persists. This does not completely ruin what is now normally an amazing PC experience, I just wondered if there would be any solution.

 

Many Thanks, Ronan

Did you try to mount everything out of the case?

No we didn't, but the PC did post without any problems in the case
