A couple days ago I was experiencing a problem with my PC. The problem was it would randomly shut down and instantly reboot. Today it would turn on, but I would get nothing on the screen, my monitor would just stay black. Anyone knows anything about this please tell me. :)

 

FYI I just got a ASUS Strix GTX 960 4GB about a week ago.

Have you tried anything?

Any previous issues?

Can you get to the bios?

We are going to need a lot more info than that. What have you tried? Have you changed anything recently? What are your specs?

your monitor cable is plugged into your 960, not the motherboard, right? and all power cables are firmly connected?

I've tested all of the connections and the monitor cable is plugged into the 960.

are your case fans spinning on startup? PSU fans? GPU fans?

 

is a speaker connected to your mobo (small one usually comes with mobo) and is it beeping on startup?

My exhaust fan does not start spinning on startup. I do not have a speaker connected to my mobo.

ok, then that exhaust fan probably is hooked up wrong and unrelated. Try plugging into your integrated graphics through the motherboard, do you get a post then?

I just found that my CPU fan does not startup on boot. Do you think the problem is the CPU cooler? Thermal Shutdown is causing it shutdown and not boot?

check ( physically push the 20/24pin and the 4/8pin power connectors into the board. make sure they're firmly seated.

 

 the "hook the monitor to the back of the motherboard\" thing.............. do that.

 

what cpu cooler are you using?

Would it help getting a new MOBO? My reason is my CPU fan does not get power, my exhaust fan does not get power and I don't think my CPU is getting power.

check if all your PSU connectors are connected firmly on your MOBO. 

it could be the problem of PSU as well.

I've checked all of my connections and they are all in well. When I turn my computer on, it's just my exhaust fan and my CPU fan and I think my CPU are not turning on.
