I recently built my first gaming PC with a lot of research done here. When trying to install Windows 8, the computer would lose display after about five minutes, but all of the fans would continue running. I tried moving my gpu to the 4x PCI slot which worked long enough to install Windows 8 but after about an evening of constantly restarting the computer after freezing during updates, the computer would not display anything, even from the 4x PCI slot. Then I tried using an old graphics card which produced the same problems. Thinking it was a motherboard issue I ordered another motherboard. Last night I hooked up the new board and found I had the same problem with both gpus.
I am new at this and a little lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
