Hi guys, new to Tom's hardware but learnt so much on here so thought I would ask for some help in here, I'm stuck and I'm at wits end with this issue.
Mobo: msi z97 g43
Bios: click bios 4 legacy
Ram: 2 x 4GB ddr3 1600mhz
Gpu: msi gtx 760 twin fozr OC
Cpu: i5 4460k 3.6mhz OC
Psu corsair ax860 atx
Okay so I've had this build for about 5 year or so now and never cleaned it out, decided while I was in there Id strip it down give it all a good clean can of air and a soft cloth to wipe it all down also changed my cmos battery whilst I was in there, put everything back together and it does 1 of 2 things on boot
1) continues power all led's light up but get no display on the monitor just says signal is not connected and yes I did make sure it was connected haha
Or
2) boots up for a few seconds powers off and reboots gets to the blue windows logo and crashes
Now the only thing that I think it could be is the ram cos with 1 ram stick in the first slot I can actually get it to boot into windows but then after a while it crashes again and I have to reboot but then I have the boot issues again I'm stuck on what to do maybe replace the ram as a starting point? But where would I go next? Previous to this my pc was running perfectly no issues
