hello
ive just finished building my first pc after being on a prebuild for around 3 years. building one wasn’t too hard but I’ve been having an issue with it for around a day.
I turn it on and can go into bios and install windows without any problems, however as it’s booting into windows or sometimes within 5 minutes of being in windows, the screen randomly blacks out and the GPU fan (I think) starts spinning really fast. the pc stays on but I’m not able to get the screen back on without having to restart the system
so far I’ve not had enough time to install mother board or graphics card drivers.
the mono has an onboard hdmi port which I was hoping to use to configure drivers before installing the GPU but this port doesn’t work (the Ryzen CPU doesn’t support video output apparently?)
specs:
Ryzen 7 3700x
ASUS X570-E Gaming Motherboard
2 x 16GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (32GB)
NVIDIA GeForce 980 (I have this currently because it’s my old graphics card so I’m using it while I try and get a 3060ti)
Corsair H100i Aio
850W Corsair power supply
ps: the furthest I’ve got so far without it crashing is downloading ASUS app and I got to around half way installing Nvidia drivers and it crashed.
I think it might be crashing because the GPU is quite old, I’m not to sure though?
please can you help me
thank you
