New PC keeps freezing

[kensei]

Hello, 

I'm new to the community. 

 

I've been trying to build/setup this new system for awhile now.

During OS (Win8.1 64bit) setup, it will freeze at any stages of the installation but when i did manage to finish the setup, it would still continue to freeze at any point i use it after the OS installation.

My main suspect will be the GPU because it froze showing graphic glitches before and the desktop background and some icons will be either be black or blanked. I try changing the theme and background but it won't change.

At first i thought it'd either be my PSU or motherboard but i replaced both and i still am having the same problem.

I literally can't do anything, i can't even install the hardware drivers. I did update bios and seemed to not help.

 

I just wanna know if its likely to be the graphics card, so i can get a replacement.

Have you tried using your iGPU if that processor supports it?

Hello, 

 

Have you tried booting up and setting up your OS without your graphics card in? And if successful, trying to install your graphics card after setup?

My board has no integrated graphics, sadly.

 

Forgot to mention, sometimes there wont even be a display but i can see the hard drive led blinking and my flash drive attached being read.
