Your motherboard manual should have instructions for resetting the CMOS it's simple and it' be nice if that were the problem. A PSU tester should be able to test all the cables and the PSU. Then it's likely down to the motherboard. Last would be bench testing the motherboard. It could be a...

Well even at full load 600w should be fine for an 570rx and a 2600, (Unless you've got a lot of extra stuff.) assuming that there's nothing wrong with the PSU. Only showing POST when the HDD or SSD are unconnected... was the HDD connect right? Do you have a SATA power in as well? some times...

Okay... Did you play a game or stress test it? This is my understanding at this point: ---You installed the Graphics card and were able to play for a while without any problems ---One day while playing games it started crashing to the desktop and killed the video to the monitor ---It...

Your GPU on their PC. If it does anything funky then you buy a new one. Edit: or rather get a new one by calling up the manufacture.

Okay... You turned it on it started doing that? I think you're going to be replacing that GPU. You mention your friends possibly having a bigger PSU. Just to be 100% sure I'd take out the GPU put it back in the packing it came with then go try it at one of those friend houses.

So if I'm understanding you right it's never completely turned off or restarted. If that that's the case then I'd stress test the GPU and see if the same thing happens (display cuts out computer still runs). If it does happen during the stress test and if the computer's never shut down or...

Okay, I sometimes juggle alot of things and don't reread the forum post fully each time I come back so probably my bad. So to clarify has the PC ever restarted or shut down in the middle of a game or does it just crash the game and the graphics card while presumable the rest of the PC is still...

Well if you happen to have a different graphics card like from an older computer or something I'd try that. Is the graphics card a 6 and 8 pin? maybe try switching those out with a different set if your PSU has one... Short of that I'd call the monitor make and ask them for help I'd imagine...

Generally to save money pre-built computers keep the PSUs as close to the borderline as possible to maximize profits. Wear and tear eats at the PSU with time then you put a Graphics card with twice the draw or something and it can't keep up. 500w isn't too far off of what you need, but generic...

That would be my guess, the problem is if it is overloading the PSU it might have messed up other components on the PC too, including your graphics card. Did you ever notice it doing that on The Forest's main menu before?

Basically I just realized everything you've described could be because of an overloaded PSU. How long ago did you switch the graphics card? When was the first time you really put a load on the graphics card? How long have you been playing "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare" with the setting you had...

WAIT ACTUALLY!! You Bought the computer then upgrade the graphics card... Make certain the PSU can supply the power required for the card! Don't do what I crossed out in this post we need to make sure the PSU isn't being massively overloaded! Repeating that: DON'T STRESS TEST IT! I was thinking...

Maybe try using all the different outputs on the Graphics card... Check your motherboard manual and see what keyboard key is used to enter the BIOS menu restart the computer and press that key several times for 10-20 seconds so we know the monitors getting a feed. then turn the monitor on and...

So far as hardware Motherboard and Graphics card and maybe the PSU cable to the Graphics card are the only possibilities that I can think of... First are you sure that you have the graphics card snapped all the way in, and is it connect properly to the PSU?
