Hi,

I am having the weirdest issue today, never encountered before.

I just replaced my motherboard and CPU. Was running a Asrock H61m-GE with an i3. Now I have an ASUS Prime b350-plus with a Ryzen 5 1400. Monitor out to a DVI via a 1060 GTX,

First time was able to boot to the BIOS and set it to boot to my Kingston SSD 128GB. Restarted and I'd get to various boot up stages and the screen would go black... Would have to restart. After this a number of times it actually booted to my login screen and was able to login. Great, run a Win 10 USB Boot drive just in case, and proceed to install new MOBO chipset drivers via CDROM. Ofcourse the computer was required to restart and same issue again but could never get it all the way to login screen. Attempted to boot to the USB drive to do a fresh installation and same thing. I'd get past the boot screen. Screen would turn purple indicating we were beginning the installation process and black.... nothing.

My 1060 is new but worked in the previous system.

My best guess is that the Motherboard is damaged and I plan on returning to micro center in the morning. Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

-Jon

The randomness of the booting was throwing me for a loop...

Actually PN is HX424C15FB/4

I'm showing compatibility via Kingston's website and a third party website.

I just verified that the video card still works in the previous i3 configuration.

At the BIOS all 8gb of ram was recognized. At this point all I can guess is it's an issue with the motherboard unless the PC was switching to a different monitor it thought was connected. I saw some people having issues with that in Win 10 but apparently a reset fixed their issue. Again I reset the PC on the order of 30 times...

Related? http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3469284/boots-black-screen-windows-mobo-bios-menu-works-fine-mobo-malfunction.html

Pentium processor
8gb HyperX Fury RAM
1200W Corsair PSU (crypto scum)
MSI z170a motherboard
Windows 10

That's all I can remember. Will edit later with more details.

I should also note that I've had this problem multiple times before and it resolved on its own after several restarts. I also get the same problem when I put Windows boot USB in.

You might be on to something with the monitor but I don't know how to solve that.
