Question PC freezes for 4 seconds, shuts off, restarts, and shows no display

[sethduncan17]

So I bought a new gigabyte G1 Geforce GTX 1060 6gb graphics card, and recently problems have started occuring. First of all, when I boot my pc after it turns off, there is no display, and I have to unplug and replug my dvi cable back into the gpu for it to turn on ( ive tried other cables but to no avail ). Just recently I've noticed that my pc would freeze for about 5 seconds, and it would shut off, restart, and then have no display. I would then have to turn it off, unplug and replug the dvi, and it would turn back on. I really need somebodys help and anything would be appreciated.

Yes it could have been. You replaced it with another card and the replacement worked.

You didn't mention that earlier that it was a cheap purchase (basically used card) from eBay. It might have been faulty and that's why the previous owner decided to sell it cheaper.

You said you "bought a new Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB". Maybe you meant "new" as in it's a new card in your system but it also sounds to us like it was a brand new card.

Sorry about the confusion, I ordered a zotac 1070 mini and I’ll give you an update on whether it works
