So I wasn't sure if this is the right area to post this but thought this seemed the most relevant.
So my pc is built by me. Been using it for maybe 2 years and no problems. Decided I need to upgrade my gpu so I bought a new card and put it in. Since doing that when I turn the pc on it shuts down after maybe 5 seconds and then restarts. When it restarts though I get no visuals at all on my monitors. I also get no beeps.
I tried puting my old gpu back in and it continued to do this. I then tried booting the pc with no gpu and using the motherboard only and will it does this. So this eliminates it being a gpu issue. I tried booting with no ram etc. No change. I then switched to an older psu without the gpu connected to see if it would start. It still does it. So it doesn't look to be a psu issue or a gpu issue.
Am I looking at a broken motherboard now? Could the cpu be at fault here? A and out is the motherboard, what could have caused it to randomly go when I switched to a new gpu? I've made sure everything is compatible with each other.
Update: I've now taken the cpu out, cleaned it and put it back. Nothing changed. I'm fairly certain it has to be something with the motherboard now.
Pc specs off the top of my head
Cpu- Intel i7 4770
Ram - 2x 8gb corsair vengeance ddr4
Gpu - msi nvidia gtx 1070
Psu - corsair professional series HX750w
Mobo - msi H97 PC mate
