[SOLVED] Black Screen after GPU install - TRIED EVERYTHING!! - Please Help

[jheller1]

Hello,

Ok so long story:

I built my PC using a friends old gpu geforce 760 GTX. Randomly the screen would just go black. I thought one of the ram failed, took it out, boot it, and it worked for about a day than went black screen again. I took out all the ram but 1 4g stick but after the msi screen, after windows loaded it went black screen again. I figured it was the GPU, so I got a EVGA 1050 TI, plugged it in, nothing, just black screen. I plugged my HDMI into the CPU intel graphics, works no problem. So I reinstalled windows 10 and it loads to my desktop for a few mins, then black screen again. I restart, quickly go to geforce experience, click to install driver, and goes black screen right when i click it, but this time the fans go crazy, on and off to 100% power. I restart, install an earlier version of the driver, and it works. I download steam, launch a game and BOOM, black screen again, but this time is weird cause the screen is still light-up, but light up black (before it was like no signal black). But fans go crazy again to 100% power on/off/on/off and then my screen goes no signal black again!

I restart again and it leave it just desktop, and after sometime, the screen will just go black again.
I guess its possible i got another bad GPU but i dont think thats it. My guess is its a windows 10 and/or driver issue.

Do you think downloading MSI afterburner will help?
or resetting all my BIOS settings?

my pc is:
windows 10,
32g ram
1050 TI GPU
CPU intel i7 6700k
cooling system is corsair
z170 pro carbon msi motherboard

thank you for any help you can provide, i have no idea what to do now.

Yes load bios defaults and try.
What is your exact psu model and make? A bad psu can cause such things. Try another if you have spare.

Hi thanks for the advice.

I was thinking it could be that as well but not sure how to check if thats the issue.

my psu is a Corsair H850i

My next thought it to just totally flash my bios, my friend set up the overclock settings but i dont really know anything about overclocking. do you think that could be the issue?

Thanks for the feedback

I solved this issue! It was so simple, one of my PSU ports was bad, I plugged the GPU cable into another one of the PSU ports and it works fine now.
