MSI r9 270x hawk unable to start when it is cold (air con environment)
I have this issue where when the room is cold as the air conditioner is on, the gpu would start (as in fans are running) but the display will be black. it is only when I restart a few times or when the room "heats up" after I turn off the air con does the gpu behave normally.

This problem is never seen when the air con is not turn on. Please advise!

im sure its not the monitor. because I changed it a few times to verify. and this issue only happens when the environment is cold. if I did not turn the air con on, the pc boots up fine.

Are you sure gpu is not running on cold and running on warm ambient?
It could be the display monitor.
Try turn on your pc on cold ambient.. like it seems your pc running but no display.. The next time it happens, like no display in cold ambient, turn on off your light or it should be everything in darkness, put flashlight/torch in the front of your monitor... check if you can find an image even your monitor display black then gone without flashlight.. It you found some image means there is problem with your monitor..
