Hi, recently I hooked up a H75 to my R9 390 with VRM heatsinks. In addition, to 2 120mm fans (from the cooler), and 1 92 mm fan from the Kraken G10.

Before the cooler and the fans, everything was fine. But, when I loaded up my first game, Star Citizen, it lost display signal.

So, I rebooted the PC and reloaded the game, same thing. Reset all overclocks, same thing. Underclocked, lasted a good few minutes.

As for the temperatures, 30 idlefor both GPU and CPU. GPU VRMs at 35 and 55 (highest). CPU underload at 65, max.

I have enough power(Antect 750w 80+ Gold)? It is not the RAM.

Everything is updated (reinstalled).

I have put the GPU into the second slot, it works. But, it disables the wifi adapter, for the life of me, I cannot renable.

Also, monitor loses display signal when I either play videos, from Windows Media and load any kind of video.

GPU does have 60 frames maxed on Star Citizen, but it only lasts a good 20 mins. I am fairly certain it is not the GPU, though I may be wrong.

Even with I lose display signal, everything in the PC is running. All the fans, coolers, SSDs, etc.

Thermal paste has been reapplied, Arctic SIlver 5.

Even completed a freshh install of Windows 10 today.

I performed a BIOS update before. I was reading reviews on Newegg and it seems a bios update blinds everything. The only fix seems to be flashing another update, but it does not seem to help (based on other people's reviews).

SPECS:

i5 4690k
Corsair H110i GTX
MSI R9 390
Corsair H75
MSI Z97 Gaming 3
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16 GB
Samsung 850 Series
Antect 750W 80+ Gold
Windows 10
TP Link WDN3800


 
Solution
Maybe yes but, you could try these stuff ;
Try to use igp from your i5 4690k
If the problem continue check your power supply, try to apply another psu to your rig
If the problem continues again, check your voltage come from the wall cord. Check the cpu temp, mobo temp, etc.
And last, check your motherboard for RMA/Service as soon as possible.

Hi, thanks for the reply, I'll have to check when I get off work in about 9 hours. Will keep you updated.

And, yes, problem continues from IGP. Have not checked voltage. Temps do seem fine, using HWMonitor, CPU Z and GPU Z. Have not checked mobo temp. What else temps am I suppose to check besides CPU and GPU? And, I will have to check the RMA as soon as I get home.

Hello again, sorry for the late reply, and I checked the PSU, nothing wrong. Also, I did the only thing I have not tried, which was flash a bios update. Problem still persisted. I guess a new board is inevitable. Thanks for replying though. You were the only one who helped.
