I wanted to create a decent gamer pc so i bought those components :

cpu: Intel Core i5-4460 (3.2 GHz)
Socket 1150 - Quad Core - Cache 6 Mo - Haswell Refresh

motherboard: MSI H81M-E34
mATX - Socket 1150 - Chipset Intel H81 - USB 3.0 - SATA 6 Gb/s

ram: DDR3 HyperX Fury Black, 2 x 4 Go, 1600 MHz, CAS 10
Dual Channel - Memory DDR3 - PC-12800 - Low-Profile

gpu: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti OC, 4 Go
PCI-Express overclocked - with backplate

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue, 1 To
3.5" - 7200 tpm - 64 Mo - SATA III - Bulk

power suply: Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite - 500W
Certifiied 80+


After I received everything I aput the pieces together and then i start the pc to see if i connected

the cables of the power supply in the right way. The pc start "YAY" and then i connect the pc to

the screen and nothing happen. After few hours of crying I decided to see what happen when i

start the pc and i noticed the fan of my gpu start at the beginning and then stop. So I decided to

take it away. And then the pc start "HALLELOUYA" I then tought it was I driver problem so Installed

Windows 10 and updated the drivers of my motherboard and then I put the Gpu again and

restarted the pc same thing ---> the fans of the gpu start then stop after few seconds and still

nothing and the screen show no signal. So i took out the gpu and then start the pc again and it

start again . So it tought it's a gpu problem and decided to buy a new one. Fast foward few weeks I

received my new gpu ( i bought the same one). And try it out and ... -----> EXACTLY THE SAME

RESULT. The fans of the gpu start then stop. So i tried a new thing I started the pc then i put the

gpu. Still nothing but!!After few tries if I put the gpu a certain way ( I kid you not ) the fans don't

stop and the pc detect it and I was like "Bitch**s I made it :vip: WASSUP". So i update the driver of

the gpu restart the pc. Fans don't stop this times I was ( Mod edited: watch language) HAPPY. I enter the bios to see if

the motherboard detect it and then I see that it doesnt but the fans of the gpu are still working.

I was like wtf. So i decide to go on windows to see if it detects it ----> Still nothing. After thiking

about sucide a few times I then thought maybe it's my motherboard that is deficient because i

made sure the power supply was more than enough ( maybe i made a some mistakes on the

power supply calulator, but just to be sure I quadruple checked)

Sorry for this long post here are my questions:

Should i a new motherboard ?

If yes can I reuse my cpu ( it cost me a lot --") ?

If yes again what motherboard do you recommand for a lga 1150 with ddr3 ram and 1 pci-e express *16 ?

Or maybe you think it's the power suplly ?
 
Solution
Because you can boot the PC with intel iGPU, also you did try two same GPUs. So the problem is from the PSU. A good brand 400W PSU can handle your PC.

Try other PSU, or return the PSU.
