Hi Guys,
I'm having a very weird problem that I cannot explain. So I have build a PC about a year ago and it worked seamlessly and perfectly, never had any issues with it. I don't overclock, I don't game (ok occasionally I do), I make music with my machine.
So let me first show you guys the specs:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X WRAITH
Motherboard: Asus Prime X570-P
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+
Memory: Corsair Vengeance D4 32GB 3200-16 RGB Pro
Power Supply: Corsair RM850i
Now as I said I never had issues with this PC, up until last thursday. I was finished working on my computer so I shut it down, before it shut down the fans of the GPU were blowing REALLY hard for a short period (1-2 secs) and then it shut down. The next day I turned my computer on and my monitor stated: "No signal", I thought well no biggie, just hit the power switch again and lets go! Nope, not working anymore. So I started doing all the basic tests;
Then because I thought it had to be the GPU that was causing this issue, I dusted off my old computer, that has a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 motherboard, and I tried the GPU in that machine... Guess what: Boom I actually can boot, get into windows and the GPU seems to work just fine?!
Well, must be the motherboard then right? So I called the store and told them what issue I was facing and they started a RMA procedure. Today I received a new motherboard, and I just layed it down on a anti-static bag and quicky build a minimal setup:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3800X WRAITH
Motherboard: Asus Prime X570-P (NEW)
GPU: Sapphire Radeon RX 590 Nitro+
Memory: Corsair Vengeance D4 32GB 3200-16 RGB Pro
Power Supply: Corsair RM850i
Bumped the system on........ No Signal. My mind is blown at the moment... I took the GPU out and put it back into my old computer the one with the Gigabyte X58A-UD5, and right now I am typing this using my old computer with my RX590.
So the system worked for a year, same setup, (I didn't update BIOS version or anything as I am not into that stuff anymore) stopped working out of the blue.
Could it be that the GPU crashed for some reason and that it is now incompatible with newer types of motherboards? I ran a GPU-Z so that you can see what my OLD PC tells me about the RX590. (see attached)
To me it looks like the combination of: RX590 with my Asus X570-P motherboard... Something changed with the graphics card that causes it not to work anymore. Unfortunately I don't have a GPU that I can test on my Asus Prime X570-P.... (I only have an old PCI-e 2.0 card)
Another interesting note: The fans of my RX590 start spinning right away in my old system whenever I turn the system on, they do not spin at all when the RX590 is installed on the X570-P motherboard...
Do you guys have any idea's?
Kindest regards,

So I started doing all the basic tests;
- Changed the position of the Memory DIMMS
- Changed the position of the graphics card
- Tried another power supply
- Restart CMOS
- Try DVI instead of HDMI
