Hey everyone. Really hoping to get some help because I'm at the end of my rope with this thing. First off, the specs.
Windows 10
650 watt power supply
MSI z170a m5 motherboard
MSI amd 390x graphics
Intel i5 6600k (with a cooler)
Samsung 250gb ssd
No disc drive. So I put it together Thursday. Figured out how to download some drivers on another computer and got it up and running. I've been playing dark souls 3 nonstop.
Yesterday, my screen went black. Could still hear the audio. Restarted and it did it again after ten minutes. Restarted, and then it got stuck in a loop of how my PC wouldn't start and it reset itself over and over. Also at this point, when it was showing the MSI logo at boot up, there was a thick blue line down the middle of the screen. I made sure the graphics card was installed all the way. Blue line gone. I reinstalled Windows. Now I can't remember where I got the Internet driver, because I have no internet anymore. As I'm on my phone doing research, the screen goes black again. Wtf.
Anyone have ANY ideas what could be wrong? Overheating maybe? Not enough watts on the power supply? All the fans are working. I just don't know. This thing is a $1400 paperweight at the moment.
Thanks a ton.
Update. I went and got a disc drive. Used the discs all my components came with. Computer was doing great for about an hour, then black screens, Windows not loading properly, etc. this is such a load of crap. Please help me.
