[SOLVED] PC problem since installing graphics card ?

[chonnyman]

Hi guys, I'm going to try and explain this the best I can.

I just bought a ASUS Dual GeForce RTX 4070 Super OC Edition 12GB. I installed it, and everything has been working fine.

But today when I turned on my computer, everything turned on except the monitor - it was black, but you can tell it wasn't off. It's when I hit my PC's reset button that everything then boots up, and works fine. I'm on my PC right now, and there's no issues. I have checked the inputs, and I did a clean install of drivers for my card.

My power supply is 750W
Windows 11 Home (all up to date)
Intel i9 9900KF
32GB DDR5

Mod Edit:

I am also am using dual monitors.

my PSU is a Smart BX1 730W ... it's probably six years old?

It's still acting the same. If my computer is off for awhile, I turn it on, and the screen is on, but black. It's only when I reboot that everything pops on fine. The computer turns on, everything is on.. just the screen is black at first.

Mod Edit:

I don't have any errors popping up anywhere either.

It's been resolved.

In the interest of helping others. Exactly what did you do to resolve this?

It's been resolved.

Great!

But would you mind taking the time to explain how you fixed it for the benefit of other forum users who may have a similar problem in the future.

Thanks

I ended up doing a fresh install of Windows 11.

I had originally done a clean install of my GPUs drivers, but something was still off. The card was running fine with no errors, and I passed a stress test with flying colors. It was time for a fresh new install of Windows anyhow.

Everything is perfect now.

Thanks for that.
