My PC has a weird start-up issue.

Ok, so I bought a PC from ibuypower about 3 years ago and have, over time, modified it. A lot. This includes a new PSU, GPU, RAM, I added a SSD and reinstalled the OS. I've added some fans and what not as well. Really the only things original are the motherboard, CPU, and case I think. Here are the current specs:


Operating System
Windows 8.1 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core i7 4770 @ 3.40GH
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 799MHz (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
ASRock H81M-HDS
Graphics
BenQ GL2450H (1920x1080@60Hz)
BenQ RL2455 (1920x1080@60Hz)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Gigabyte)
Storage
232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (SSD)
931GB Western Digital WDC WD10EZEX-00KUWA0 (SATA)
PSU
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1 80+ Bronze

Anyway. At some point. Not entirely sure after which part, maybe the PSU or adding the SSD and reinstalling OS, my computer will do something funny when I start it up cold. If my computer has been sitting, turned off, over night and I turn it on, sometimes it will go through POST and show the Windows logo, then randomly it will just stops progress. The monitor will usually lose signal from the computer and show a NO INPUT signal. The computer remains powered on, but the monitor isn't receiving any display info from the PC. After this, I will hit the restart button and it will start up and perform perfectly normal. So for some reason, my computer struggles to correctly load Windows and start up, but almost always starts on the second try and shows no indication of any other problems. Its kind of a weird problem. Let me know if you need any other info and any input is much appreciated.
