writing this on my phone so I apologize for any incorrect spelling. Or missing parts.

My system as follows:
M5A99FX PRO R2.0
AMD FX 8350
EVGA 780 GTX SC
SPARKLE Magna R-SPI900GCM 900w

So basically the problem is with my gpu outputting display. The gpu works fantastically and is recognized in Windows. But more often then not, after I shutdown my computer and turn it on shortly after I will get no display from my monitor which results in me having to hard reset every time this occurs. And sometimes it takes a few times of unplugging everything for the display to work again.
I've done expansive research on this and have yet to fix it. I've updated my mobos bios to the most recent version and tried reseating the card several times. I've also done a driver sweep and it seemed better until I reinstalled the latest nvidia drivers but haven't done enough troubleshooting to point the finger at drivers. I plan on trying my old 760 to see if the problem occurs with it when I get home.
Unfortunately rma is out of the question with newegg because my dumbass threw away some documents included with package. I'm hoping I didn't just save up for months for a broken card...So any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Have you noticed an increase in psu fan speed with the new card? Check the "touch" heat of the psu after 5 minutes of idle, then run a graphics benchmark (Unigine or some such) and try the "touch" test again. Also watch and listen to the psu fan. You might be having a heat issue that could affect the capacitors in the psu.

I'm not a fan of multi-rail psu's, especially when using a high wattage gpu.

Oh okay. I'll try that as soon as I get home and post the outcome. This is my first build and the psu was one of first purchases and I hadn't.done much research at that point.
I appreciate the the input.
