I built a new system and my 980 is being weird. Please Help

[sammy a]

Ok, so I built a new system today, i7 4790k / Asus Strix GTX 980. So, the 980 is what i think the problem is coming from. Everything seems to be to be wired correctly, all the LEDs are on, the fans are spinning, the CPU fan is spinning all seems good, I see the motherboard screen then it turns off randomly. Then It boots again on its own so and watch the fans this time, and I watch the graphics card fans, the right fan on my card stopped spinning about half way through the boot and then the system turned off and booted itself again, so I've reseated the card, checked all the cables and tried again but nothing worked. I've seen a few threads were people say the 980 doesn't spin the fans till 60c but that doesn't explain it not booting.

Any input would be useful thanks in advance.

I also forgot to mention that when the computer shuts off the Monitor says "DVI No Signal"
Another sign that its got something to do with the cards fan not spinning, I suspect some sort of overheating is happening, shall i try booting without the graphics card?

Your PC seems to be trying to start but is not stable enough to get to BIOS .

Chances are the highly overclocked and overvolted RAM is the issue . Probably its not getting enough voltage to run correctly

Have you got any 1600 MHz , 1.5 volt RAM you can try ?

I do have some old 1600MHz ram so I'm assuming its lower voltage. Trying it now.

Tried the old ram and it didn't work.

Time to try taking the graphics card out and connecting the monitor cable to the mb and see if you can boot

Late reply I was on the move,
Back Story: I'm building this system with a friend, he forgot to mention that the SSD already has windows 10 on it, and the motherboard is not compatible with windows 10. He wanted me to install the new OS on the SSD.

Before I found this out and before I saw this reply I took out the SSD and the Graphics card and replaced it with an old 7790, the system booted and ran for showing the Operation screen 5 minutes before I turned it off (when it was lasting 30 seconds max before this.)
So I assumed I had a faulty card because of the whole single fan spinning fiasco. I'm ready to send it back to amazon before I try it 1 more time, so I put the 980 in and the system runs fine. I realise that its the SSD, I wonder to myself what the hell could possibly make the SSD stop the system from booting I ask my friend and he says there's windows 10 on it.

That's the only possible cause by the looks of it.

Reply to your answer: I could always boot but it entered a restarting loop and everytime it would turn off it would show "DVI no signal"

It was telling you the mb drivers were incompatible with the mb .

It might have eventually triggered a repair that would have attempted to replace them with ones that did work . But that process can take hours if it happens

haha just kidding problem isn't solved, new SSD isn't working when I got here, so how do I get compatible drivers for my mb then??

Any fix for this? or just gotta let it endlessly reboot for multiple hours
