@jwpanz I will admit that in my excitement thinking I had resolve the issue I forgot to check the display drivers while the computer was on if I can get through to windows again I will check

Went to check display drivers and the PC wouldn’t even boot. I went into the case and started unplugging each component one by one. I isolated a stick of ram and the problem suddenly stopped. I booted the PC with nothing but the PSU CPU MOBO and RAM. It booted normal so I added the Hard drives...

Unfortunately I don’t have another TV or HDMI monitor to use, but I will see if I can take it somewhere

@Jwpanz I went back to the VGA monitor to use the PC and the problem began to occur again. It happened on the VGA monitor so now I am going to see if I have something I can plug into the original monitor to test it. I noticed that when I did not log into Windows, the PC stayed on significantly...

If the monitor is next for replacement, I’ll have to wait for Black Friday if I’m gonna get one

@nerro120 came home and replaced HDMI cable. Old cable did look bent probably from how it was seated on old card. New cable well seated on new graphics card. PC booted into windows in low resolution, ran for 6 minutes or so, and video cut from monitor. Keyboard and mouse lights went off and non...

It seems unlikely 650 Watts is not enough.. it is a Corsair PSU so I thought it to be quality. Is there any way I can bump this thread for some second opinions before I buy another part I don’t need T_T Though, I found the new GPU at a steal and am very glad I upgraded.

I bet a 650w Power Supply is probably too weak for a gaming pc........ especially now that I upgraded the GPU

So I’ve replaced the graphics card and the problem persists.. I installed an R9 380, the computer booted to windows, and then the monitor cut video while the pc kept running like the original problem. When I use the PC with all components, minus the GPU, it runs fine. Past few nights I was...

I am streaming Hulu now with the onboard graphics. All I’ve done is remove the GPU and it seems the PC is running seemingly normal. Time to toss GPU ? :( Also is it harmful to push the onboard graphics too far while I replace the graphics card?

@Jwpanz just the monitor losing connection, the pc kept running, sorry was at work all day
