I'd been having problems a few months ago with my computer - white-screen crashes, no-signal from the monitor, force shut-down not working while attempting to power-off the computer. I couldn't use it at all.
I just recently bought a new graphics card (Zotac GTX 970) to try and resolve it. For the first day it seemed to work - I finally received a signal from my PC and was able to log in, wipe and reinstall graphics drivers, and attempt to play a few games on it. It worked, for about an hour and a half before I would suddenly lose signal and have to restart.
Now, two days later after being away, I've come back to find I can't get any signal yet again from the GPU. The PC turns on - the cooling fans start up, my mobo's LED lights turn on, but I've noticed that the new GPU's fans are not spinning on start-up, while my monitor receives no signal. I have to turn off the PSU in order to force a shutdown. I plugged in the old GPU, and its fans started up - however, I don't really think going back to that one is an option.
What's going on here? Am I having a problem with the PSU, my PCI cables, or my motherboard? Faulty GPU? Or something else? Appreciate any help. Thanks.
My specs:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 CPU (8x 4.00GHz/8MB L3 Cache)
Memory: 16GB [8GBx2] DDR3-1866 ADATA XPG V2
Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 -- AMD 970
Power Supply: 750 Watt Enermax LEPA G750-MAS 80 PLUS Gold
Graphics Card: Zotac NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 - 4GB
OS: Windows 7
