I just put together my third build, but for the first time in 4 years. I have to admit I am a bit rusty when it comes to my hardware/software knowledge but I've never had issues like this before. I have no trouble booting to Windows, but the display doesn't seem like it matches what the resolution is set to. It's at 1920x1080 but everything seems way larger than it should be. I am using an HDMI connection from my GPU for sound and video. The GPU is mounted on a riser card that came with the case.
The display also cuts out randomly, then comes back. There is occasional freezing, sometimes followed by a reboot. Also, if I try and play any sound, even the Windows notification sounds, the sound may work momentarily but it is poor quality, garbles for a bit, then cuts out completely if it's anything longer than a few seconds. The PC is connected via HDMI cable to my Vizio TV which is in working condition considering the game console I have hooked up to it is working just fine. According to Device Manager, all of my drivers are up to date. I've used the GeForce software offered on the ASUS site to update my GPU drivers, the updates that came with the motherboard, and I've also installed every Windows update I possibly could.
When purchasing the PC, I used PC part picker to double check my build and everything seemed compatible, so I think I've chosen my hardware right.
Specs are as follows:
AMD Ryzen 1700x
MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon
Vengeance LED DDR4 3000 15-17-17-35
MasterLiquid 240 CPU Liquid Cooler
ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX
Rosewill Glacier 500W
Samsung EVO 2.5" 250 GB SSD (OS installed here)
WD 1TB HDD 7200 RPM 3.5"
Windows 10
Things I have tried:
I appologize in advance for the wall of text but I figure the more details I provided, the easier it would be to identify a problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
