Help Required. Pc will not boot windows with any GPU installed.

[Proximace]

Pc will not boot to windows with any GPU installed, it crashes immediately after the bios screen disappears. With no GPU installed it boots to windows and runs fine on the integrated graphics.

 

This system has been running fine for months and has only suddenly had this issue.

 

I have tried both a 1060 and 6600xt which are both known working cards in other PCs. 

 

I have also tried a full DDU in safe mode with no success. To note entered safe mode on iGPU

 

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

 

System specs:

Intel i5-3570k (both stock and OC have the issues)

MSI Z77a-G45 motherboard (have tried a full CMOS) clear

Windows 10 home

Nvidea 1060

AMD Radeon 6600xt

Have you tried different psu to rule that out?

Also have you tried different pci-e slots

This ^^

 

Check in the PCIe slots for dust etc. Re-seat the CPU. I have had similar problems with a 4th gen system where the cpu had just enough wiggleroom in the socket to cause issues if it moved to one corner.

I would also check to ensure that your gpu drivers did not get corrupted, I've had issues with that before and reinstalling them solved the issue

Check the motherboard for blown capacitors, replace the CMOS battery if it's old, check the CPU socket for bent pins.
