Hello!
I recently put together a new build; consisting of an AMD FX-8320 Processor, AMD Radeon R9 280 GPU, AMD ASUS M5A97 Motherboard, and a Corsair CX600 PSU. The RAM and other parts aren't worth mentioning, as they're all compatible.
However, when I booted up the new build -- I began having issues with the display signal. Several seconds after rebooting, I would see the display -- but then it would cut off with the HDMI/DVI on-monitor signal error. Each time I rebooted, I received the same error...working display but several seconds later it would give me the signal error. The problem seems obvious, the PSU is insufficient and is cutting the GPU off to save energy/prevent damage.
But I'm a little oblivious, so is this what is happening? Is the PSU too weak for this setup? So I don't waste money on a new PSU. Something worth noting is that I tried another GPU with a much lower power requirement, and I didn't experience this same issue...but I'd get a blue screen/stop screen without any specific stop error. Which has left me confused. Maybe the PSU still cannot fully power the system, and the GPU leaves me with enough power to reach the error screen?
I've tested this PSU and it works with a prior build, as does the GPU. The only thing that's untested on the older build would be the CPU.
Any feedback would be very welcome.
Thank you!
