I just updated my MOBO, CPU and RAM recently, I got it all working right after I put it together. Installed all of my drivers for GPU, mouse/keyboard, MOBO and did the updates for Windows after a clean install of Win10 64 bit from a USB thumb drive.
Here's my setup:
OS - Windows 10 Pro Education version (64 bit)
New parts-
i7-7700k (from i5-2500k)
Cryorig H7 with Cougar Vortex replacement 120mm fan (from Hyper 212 EVO)
ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming K6 motherboard (from ASRock Extrem 3 Gen 3)
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 2 x 8 GB DDR4-3000 (from Corsair 1600 2 x 4GB)
Old parts-
HIS Radeon HD 7870 2GB GHZ edition (2013)
Antec EarthWatts EA-650W (2009)
ViewSonic VX2268WM 1680x1050 120hz (20011)(plugged in DVI-D)
Nixeus NX-VUE24A 1920x1080 144hz (2017)(plugged in HDMI)
OCZ Vertex 3 SSD 120gb (2011, with OS and some games installed here)
Some old HDD 5200RPM 500GB (2000 or older, for storage)
2 x External HD's Western Digital My Passports 1TB each
The next day after setting everything up I come back to boot my PC up, the GPU will not send a signal to either of my monitors. I tried a dozen things including re-seating the card, changing the card to another PCI-E lane, unplugging my HDD or SSD, re-seating the RAM. While googling for about 30 mins of trying a few things out, and restarting the PC everytime, I decided again to just restart after not trying anything new, it decided to send a signal to both of my monitors. I turned it off, turned it on again and it was restarting just fine with a good signal, so I decided to spend the day finding and downloading all of my programs again.
The next day, it happens again. This time I try resetting the CMOS, I try switching to VGA, I try leaving only 1 monitor plugged in for each monitor, and nothing happens. I let the PC sit on for about 30 mins again, restart and it decides to send a signal.
While having it on I also tried doing a stress test on it and the temps reached 63 max using Unigine Heaven on ultra. I almost thought I solved it yesterday by switching out my old HDD's SATA cable and putting a brand new one in a different port, it booted right after that and I was thinking I solved it. BOOM happens again this morning. I'm at a loss and can't figure out what I need to do to figure out if it's a problem with the system, the PCI-E slots, the mobo or the GPU itself. The GPU itself has been running fine for 4 years, never had a problem until now so I'm wondering if it's the mobo. I tried updating my BIOS firmware as well with no success.
A few things to note while setting up Windows updates, drivers and stuff, the 3.1 type-A port on the back panel of the new mobo does not work for a damn, it lags my system out and glitches Windows until I shut down, even then it will freeze on the windows "Shutting Down..." message. I can't seem to find any information that I understand about 3.1 type-A ports, just about the type-C, which this system has both of. Can you only plug 3.1 compatible devices in it?
I tried to google the crap out of this issue and I only found 1 person who found a solution, which wasn't much of a solution because he said it fixed itself over time. Thanks in advance for the help!
