I have found many forum posts with a somewhat similar issue - yet none of their solutions have worked for me.
**System:**
i5 3750k CPU @4.6 ghz 1.365vcore
Asus z77 Saberthooth MOBO
16gb Corsair DDR3 2133mhz RAM
Nvidia 980ti GPU
Asus Xonar STX Sound Card
250gb Samsung 840 SSD - OS drive
500gb Samsung 850 Evo SSD
1tb Western Digital Caviar Black HDD
2tb Western Digital BLACK HDD
Corsair RM1000 PSU (before you judge, I had a multi AMD crossfire GPU setup and needed the juice!)
Corsair H100i GTX all in one cooler
NZXT Noctis 450 case
Dell 34" u3415w Ultrawide monitor
**Basic problem:** when I try to load into Windows 10 in "normal mode" the screen goes blank and the monitor goes to sleep. Both my mouse and my keyboard also "go to sleep" - the keyboard's back lighting goes off and the mouse sensor goes dark.
When I boot the monitor does come on and the Bios screen and Windows logo with rotating loading circle come up.
**What I have tried already:**
If I boot into safe mode it loads into the desktop no problem.
If I take out my GPU and hook up the monitor to the integrated GPU on the mobo it will load (on either output - display port or hdmi).
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the display drivers in safe mode to no avail.
I have tried a different GPU (AMD 280x) and the same problem occurs.
I have tried to "repair" windows but it doesn't work.
I reinstalled Windows 10 RTM and it worked! for about 15 to 20 minutes then the monitor kicked off and the problem would still occur.
**Background**
About a month ago I had issues with my Asus sound card. It was on the top PCI-E 1x slot, but was on top of the 980ti and taking in a lot of heat. It was there because I had a dual 280x crossfire set up, but now that I'm back down to one GPU I figured it would be better to put it on the bottom PCI-E slot. After I moved the card, the sound out of the card stopped working. After days of troubleshooting I decided to RMA. I got it back from Asus and the issues persisted. I figured maybe it was Windows screwing things up, so I updated my Windows 10 to the RTM version (I hadn't signed up for the insider program just yet).
After a Windows 10 update froze at 32% the GPU problems began again (oops, forgot some history - the problem began a few weeks ago, and after taking the GPU out and booting up with the iGPU I plugged my AMD cards back in and they worked. Never figured out what was wrong but it was working again so I didn't bother asking anymore questions). I took the GPU out, used the iGPU to update to the RTM version and bam! the sound card worked!!!! .... but when I plugged the 980 ti back in it's still not booting.
I'm out of town for today, but when I get home tomorrow I'm going to try to see if I take out the sound card if things will work as I'm beginning to suspect the motherboard.
I'm thinking it may be a Windows problem or a motherboard problem.
