Hello, I recently put together my first pc, it works fine now i got a GTX 980 Ti, I install it but when I turn the pc on after 2 to 3 secs it shuts off no display or anything and it keeps turning on/off. I have a 850 watts PSU, I've tried installing it on the second PCI same thing, I've tried with 1 cable 2 cables same thing.


Tried to do a small test with another pc. I tried installing the GPU there but I couldn't the case won't allow me too so instead
I took that pc's GPU a GeForce 630 but on the new I still get the same error makes wonder if is not the video cards at all
but problem with the motherboard because the GeForce 630 works fine on the old pc reinstalled.

The only times I have seen this it has been because of the same reason, and that was the proper drivers were not installed (sometimes for multiple things). Before installing it, make sure your motherboard chipset drivers are installed and make sure the drivers for that GPU are installed as well, then try again.

When I put together the pc for the first time with the video card, I had the problem so I took everything out and rebuild it and installed the OS which gave a hard time installing it.
It was working fine but there was no video card then I updated all drivers first the motherboard ones all of them directly from the MSI website then I installed all updates from windows and drivers for the video card finally I installed the video card and the same thing happen started turning off/on not showing anything on the actual monitor, finally I just gave up on the whole thing... I'm sending the motherboard back for a refund.

Well The new motherboard came and I installed it but now I have a problem. Its a different brand ASUS Z170-A. When I turn on the pc the BOOT_DEVICE_LED remains on but all those components were working just fine on the last motherboard. Checked cables, different ports even rest BIOS and the nothing.....

Can you guys recommend me a good motherboard please
It's for i5 6600k skylake processor
