Hello guys
I started my PC this morning and i noticed the fans on my GTX770 where at full capacity and there was no picture on the screen but i could hear widows start into the desktop with the welcome sound so i unpluged the machine and started it with just keyboard and the dvi connector and it loaded fine, so what do you think stoped it from working the first time?

The CPU is only 3 weeks old.

I recommend (as said) that you put your system back to the same configuration it was at when it was still working. Undo your overclocks. If the issue persists, I would start removing parts until it works. Start with the GPU. If you can get on-board graphics to work, then I would suggest your GPU. If that doesn't work, I would look at your motherboard, as your computer would not have gotten that far with a faulty PSU, CPU, or RAM.

The mobo is a P8z68-v lx
SSD samsung 850 pro
intel core i7 2600k


I overclocked it last night to for the first time in about 3 months, maybe the PSU can handle it?

Or the CPU or GPU can;t handle the overclocks. Dial them back and see if the issue goes away. If it does then overclock in smaller increments until you see instability return then go to the last good setting.
