First of all a huge thank you to anyone that posts and tries to help, I greatly appreciate it.
About 3 months ago I put together my first PC build. During the initial setup I encountered some problems as far as the graphics card giving me no signal and fans turning on and back off again repeatedly. With a few tweaks I got the system up and running perfectly.
Flash forward 3 months and after a successful day of gaming and working with my computer I wake up one morning to it surprisingly on, but not functioning. I shut the system down and tried to re-boot, but was getting no signal. After digging a bit deeper I realized that my graphics card was having the same problems as when I first put the system together. The fans would start and stop repeatedly. I went through all of the necessary steps. Changed ram, changed the slot my card was in, reset the CMOS, and I even gave the whole system a nice cleaning, but still nothing. I figured the power supply might not be giving enough juice, a 500w 80 plus certified power supply from EVGA, so I upgraded and got a 750W power supply 80+ bronze certified from Corsair, but still nothing. Thought maybe my GPU was the problem, a r7 370 dual-x from Sapphire, and replaced it with a GTX 960 FTW from EVGA. Tested both cards with both power supplies and no progress at all. At this point I am at a stand still and come to you guys for a answer or at least to point me in the right direction. Any and all suggestions are helpful. I did test my monitor and it is working no problem. Also all drivers are up to date and I am running Windows 10 64bit. I will say that it wasn't until downloading windows 10 that I started to run into some problems.
Specs for PC:
Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A-UD3P
CPU: AMD FX 8320
GPU: Sapphire R7 370 2GB Dual X
Ram: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 2X4 GB 1600mhz
PSU: 80+ Certified EVGA 500W

Monitor: Asus VE228 LCD monitor
Replacement Parts:
PSU: Corsair 80+ Bronze CX750M
GPU: EVGA GTX 960 FTW
If you guys need any information I will try my best to get it to you. Also I have no way of getting into the BIOS or seeing anything when it comes to the computers, so please keep that in mind when answering. Again thank you greatly in advance.
