On 3.7.17 I upgraded my rig's Mobo, CPU and RAM due to a very serious unresolved issue where my PC would only run/recognize 1 of the cores of my CPU. This seemed to fix that issue, and after about a day of use and it working w/o issue, this problem occured. See below for specs of my up to date with the new components build, and my older one as well just in case its needed.
Heres my parts list:
UP TO DATE:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mKVxNN
OLD:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YwykP6
The problem:
I installed the hardware previously mentioned with no real issue. Though I'll mention, since this current error seems to be dealing with my GPU; I had an incredibly tough time getting my 970 out of my old Mobo. It was stuck in the slot and very.. obstinate. The end nearest the HDMI/video ports was lifted without issue, but the side nearest the front of the PC was lodged and had to be 'forced' out with I'd say moderate force. That being said, it was then installed with great ease on the new mobo and seemed to work fine so I don't think it was damaged in the process of removing. Anyways, I installed the parts, installed windows 10, updated the NIC driver, and a couple other drivers manually off a usb for the mobo, and then did the windows update figuring that would find the rest of any missing drivers (though I'm now told that it doesn't always do that.) Computer then runs relatively fine. There seems to be something with the power though where very rarely, the lights on my computer will turn off and the fans will stop, giving off the impression of a power outage, but without actually turning off (this only happened one time prior to the fatal one, with I'd say was about 15 hours of heavy use across 2 days.) When this power outage, that wasn't a power outage, happened the 2nd time, the lights on the PC went off, the fans stopped and the monitor went black for maybe 1-2 seconds and then returned to normal. Except for the monitor. The monitor remained black and when turned on / off would say the 'No DVI Signal.' When I turn the monitor on/off it'll show the ASUS monitor logo, indicating that it does have power and works, it just won't connect to my PC. I really have no idea how to handle this, what's really causing it / how to diagnose it, but it seems kind of common sense that it's the GPU thats driving this error.
I'll try and remain active in replies for further info or anything else, but I'll be at work till later today so I can't provide any pictures or anything like that if required. I really appreciate any help!!
