Losing signal on monitor while fans in PC crank up to 100%

[leet.]

 

Hello,

 

I have put together my new machine few weeks ago, I was not using it few days right after the build but after I started using it regularly I'm having some problem(s) with it.

 

So basically one of the problem that could be related to the others is this one: I'm not sure but I think GPU fans starts running at 100% and I lose signal on monitor while I hear audio playing but with nothing on the monitor. I tested through the bios to crank up all case and CPU fans to the 100% but it doesn't make the sound like when this problem happens so I think mainly GPU fans are making that much noise combined with other ones (can't really figure out just by looking and hearing).

 

Next problem is that I got stuck once while booting up from sleep on Windows 10 on DRAM light on the motherboard. I waited for couple of minutes but nothing, after the restart it worked okay.

 

Just while writing this post and few minutes after first problem happened again, PC restarted itself and booted back up okay, not sure why it did that, I didn't heard any fans spinning fast...

 

I tried stress testing with Aida64 for ~15 minutes (CPU only, GPU only and combined) all seemed fine. I also reinstalled graphics card to ensure tight fit with motherboard and from PSU cable, also rotated Ram sticks (2nd and 4th slot).

 

I'm using dual boot Windows 10 64bit with Fedora 26 64bit. Problem happened on both OS's.

 

System spec:

Gigabyte AB-350 Gaming 3 (Latest F7 BIOS version)

AMD Ryzen 1600x 3.60GHz (not overclocked)

Noctua NH-C14S

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Xtreme Gaming 6G

Corsair RMx 650W 80 Gold

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000MHz 2x8GB (but running 2133MHz)

Samsung 850 EVO 500GB

WD Blue 2TB

 

I hope someone can help me, Thanks!

Update:

I did OCCT: CPU, GPU and Power supply stress test, all went fine. I noticed that GPU fans were at 100% and they weren't really loud, so could it be that PSU fans are so noisy.

 

Btw. I found exact problem like mine on youtube just that I could run games or do other things with no exact cause for this, it's just random for me:

 

I read all comments and what he suggests for fix, I could try to use different PSU cable to power GPU but I doubt that would really help... I also updated GPU drivers to latest beta ones, same issue happens.

did you clen out the old drivers with ddu? have you tried older drivers?

I haven't tried cleaning out old drivers as I just installed them (latest stable few days ago which had these issues and after updating to the latest beta, currently now stable, same issues). As for older drivers, haven't tried on Windows but on Linux I have some problems with sluggish experience so older drivers are not really an option for Linux at least.

 

As this PSU I'm using has two connectors on one PCIe cable I now reconnected to that another one hoping it will be okay now. If I experience this issue again, I'll try to clean out the old drivers with DDU. Thanks

no problem, good luck

I'm writing this off my phone now. I changed whole PCIe cable, didn't help. It restarted few minutes after the boot. Then it was working fine for a while and i tried to reproduce by playing some games that triggered this issue at least for some peope, but no luck. I reset BIOS to default and after thaf it was working fine for a few hours but then in the middle  of the game, monitor loses signal, no sonic speed fans just monitor with no signal and glitched audio. I had to shut pc down. Now I can't boot it, it's like psu went bad... It happened before after these issues that i can't start pc immediately, i would wait for a couple of minutes and then would work but now it's been 1h, power button does nothing. Removed power cord, tried holding power button for 30s then trying again, nothing. 

 

Even if I ask to return some component I'm not sure which one. Damn, I don't know what to do... 

 

Edit:

I re plugged connections for power button on the motherboard, not sure if that was the issue for not powering on the PC but it eventually did and right after motherboard boot logo, it did the same issue again (no monitor signal + 100% fan speed). I'm thinking it's hardware specific issue as drivers aren't loaded yet in that stage, right?

By any chance did you ever figure out? Same thing is happening to me so I’m not sure
