I have sorted out the problem: I have 2 monitors - primary 1 (via DisplayPort) and secondary 2 (via HDMI) for gaming. I unplugged monitor 1 and monitor 2 came to life. I was partway through a Windows re-installation and still had the Windows boot USB plugged in fortunately. (The Windows...

I am changing my motherboard because I have been made aware by Microsoft Support that my old SSD (which had a catastrophic Bitlocker crash) corrupted the current m/board's TPM, and this can go on unless you remove the corrupted parts from the chain. So I have deep formatted my boot SSD, and with...

I thought I would actually post to the correct forum this time. And my spec hasn't really changed since last time - it's basically listed in my signature. I think the issue is something to do with a Bitlocker crash I had on my previous drive - it looks like it might have done something to the...

I cannot get my PC to boot up - or at least POST past the motherboard's check. The green Q-LED boot error light stays on. I therefore have a blank screen ('no display' message on the monitor). I have an Asus Z790-A II motherboard. I have replaced literally all the components in this PC since it...

I have tried leaving it for at least 10 minutes a few times and it didn't change. Anyway, so far i have changed the PSU, CPU, m/board, DP cable. I am obtaining new RAM, SSD and GPU. When this PC is basically re-built it should fix this issue. If not I would be surprised. I will update once...

Thank you @stonecarver I appreciate it.

That seems a hell of a procedure! - Its not so much getting the Windows to install on this occasion, but to try and fix the reboot issue in the longer term I guess. I do appreciate your suggestions tho. I am going to return the GPU under warranty. Also buy a fresh DisplayPort cable (ensuring...

I have opened up an ASUS support ticket but that won't be seen now until Tuesday. I have just been on a chat with Microsoft Support and they said it was probably either the GPU ports, or an issue with the monitor or cable.

I have just tried to install POP OS (with NVidia support) to the PC and it started going well, ie, the POP OS installation process started and I was getting the correct installation screens - but then there was a restart during this installation (much like the previous Windows one) - and the PC...

Ok, but when you say "unplug your harddrive", what do you mean by that? Also, do you want me to actually install POP OS to my SSD, or create the POP OS on a USB stick?

I enabled iGPU in the BIOS and plugged the DP cable into the motherboard - nothing. Same when I plugged a HDMI cable in. Same thing when I plugged HDMI from PC to another monitor and I tried my TV -'No Display'. I'm thinking it's either gpu driver issue or faulty gpu?? The only other thing i...

You are right about what is going on. I have removed the install boot usb when the PC is about to reboot, but what happens is that the display monitor's message is 'DisplayPort No Signal' - but there has obviously just been display just before that when the Windows is installing and I've just...

Yes I was troubleshooting, and thought it might be hardware. I don't believe the new motherboard is the source of the problems. I now have an Asus Z790-A II. The CPU is Intel Core i7-14700K.

My PC has been having boot and restart problems so I decided to try and re-install Windows. The problem is that I can't complete the installation because the PC won't restart towards the end of the install operation - so all I get is a black screen. I have just installed a more powerful PSU so...
