Hello everyone, thank you for taking your time to read this.
My PC started acting up a week ago. It would crash in the middle of a game and immediately reboot itself without any error code or blue screen. When it first happened, I thought it was just an overheating problem so I dusted the PC and checked temperatures, but the temperatures seemed normal. It got a lot worse over the course of the next day (where the time it would take to crash was much faster).
I assumed it was a video card or power supply error, so I replaced them both. Everything was fine except for something weird that happened the first two days -- when I would shut down the computer it would immediately restart... but it would not send a signal to a monitor. I would have to manually shut down the computer (this no longer happens).
Now, whenever I shut down the computer and use the power button to restart it, it powers up... powers down after a few seconds (before anything displays on the screen), then powers itself up again with a blank screen (no signal). From here on out (unless I wait for a few hours), whenever I turn on the computer there is no signal. If I wait a few hours, it will boot up just fine... until I shut it down again.
My computer seems to power on fine every morning, or if I wait a bit (over an hour or so) after an issue occurs before starting it up again. But everytime I shut down the computer and restart it, it does this. I have tried many solutions and am at my wit's end. I appreciate any help towards finding a solution.
-- Specs --
CPU: i7-4770k
GPU: GTX 960
PSU: Seasonic G 550W
RAM: DDR-1600 Team Vulcan 8Gb
MOBO: MSI CSM-H87M-G43
OS: Windows 8.1
-- Solutions I have tried: --
-- Airing out PC
-- replaced PSU and GPU, swapping between old and new
-- Onboard video
-- Memtest86 on RAM, swapping between ram sticks
-- Remounting motherboard, CPU, CPU heatsink
-- Reset CMOS battery
-- Attempt safe mode (can't seem to get into safe mode or BIOS settings, but I can enter the Boot Menu)
-- Chckdsk, monitored temps, scanned for malware
