I just finished a new PC build, but it ended with an outcome I haven't seen before...
When I first turned on the PC, everything looked fine (all fans were spinning and RGB for the case was working).
But I noticed that the fan on the graphics card was EXTREMELY loud.
Then, the system would not boot to the MSI Bios screen and the monitor display was totally blank.
Finally, when I tried to turn off the PC to restart and try again, I found that the system will not turn-off when holding down the power button.
I had to actually flip the ON/OFF switch on the power supply in order to get the PC to shut down.
I tried changing the graphics card (because I have two of the same) but it was the same result both times: very loud fan, no monitor display, and could not turn-off the PC by holding down the power button.
As of right now, there is no Operating System that has been installed (because it wasn't possible to get that far)...
What could be happening to cause all of this?
