Hello everyone, a few weeks ago I took my old gaming pc out of storage and began using it again. It was working great for that time until a few days ago. The system start running really slow and eventually crashed. I tried to boot up and it wouldn't. I used the media creation tool to try to repair the startup but failed and said it could not repair so I put in a new ssd and reinstalled windows 10. After updating the OS and drivers I attempted to reinstall my gpu and it would lose signal to the monitor after a few seconds. I could see the boot logo then windows logo then it would lose signal. I could see the fans would stop spinning when this happens. I can restart and enter the bios and it will work connected to that same gpu for as long as I am looking in the bios. I changed the gpu priority to use the dedicated gpu and it would continue to do the same. Currently the pc works fine with the onboard intel graphics but the external will only work in the bios screen. I was able to enable both gpu's so that I could swap my hdmi cable to the onboard and install drivers and check device manager while the nvidia gpu is installed but switching back and restarting gives me the same result. Is this a faulty gpu or am I missing something in the setup? Here is a link to my current build, I appreciate any guidance or direction anyone can offer. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MMjmFZ

Your part's list is private.

Did you recreate your bootable USB installer, to later install the OS in offline mode? You're advised to install all relevant drivers in an elevated command, to avoid the OS from downloading drivers it thinks it right for your platform, which often times causes is the root of the problem.

Perhaps your PSU is the problem. We'll need to know your system specs = your PCPartPicker link needs to be visible.

Thanks for that. Here is a new link. I wasn't sure how to make it public so I saved a copy of the list here.

I did a clean install of windows 10 as I did not know which drivers I had previously. I installed the drivers directly from the ASUS website for this motherboard in safe mode and the nvidia drivers from the nvidia website.
