Hey everybody!
Always been a lurker when looking for troubleshooting advice on these forums but hoping you guys might be able to help!
Bit of context, so I've been using my old custom rig for a while and a few month ago my GPU (Radeon RX480 8GB) stopped working and I've now managed to replace my GPU with something more modern but I'm encountering the above issue mentioned in the title.
The issue: My PC is booting up fine and I can log into windows etc, use programmes, even run a games but my monitor, keyboard and mouse will suddenly stop working as if the power/signal is no longer being sent (all fand and lights on components are still moving/working when looking inside the case). This can be when idling or when running something more taxing. I have to reboot my machine with a manual shutdown holding the power button. I can then load my PC again and everything is normal but the issue keeps repeating itself rendering my machine pretty useless as the most time I've gotten out of it without it happening is roughly 40mins or so.
My BIOS, windows and drivers are all up to date and I believe my system can handle my new GPU but I could easily be wrong as I only have a basic-ish understanding or how everything works. I've run HWMonitor and all my temperatures seem nice and okay.
I'm guess I'm looking for some help on identifying what my issue is, hoping it's not a hardware fault but if so, help pinpointing what it is would really appreciated!
Unfortunately I dont have any spare parts/someone to borrow from to test components.
-System Specs-
OS - Win10 64 bit
CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 1700 3.7Ghz
RAM - 16GB DDR4
PSU - EVGA Supernova 750W G2
MB - ASUS Prime X370-pro
As you can see, some pretty old components but any help and advice trying to troubleshoot this would be amazing. Please let me know if you need any further info, I'm not sure what else would be helpful.
Cheers,
J
