All parts have been used in other builds and have worked properly. Brand new parts were the gpu and ram. Neither cpu or gpu are overclocked. Power supply had been running a FX-6300 and R7 260X for months just fine. Also, OS is Windows 7 Ultimate.
Main Problem
When restarting the pc via reset button, from start menu, or after exiting BIOS signal is lost. I must do a hard shutdown and then boot to get signal back.
Troubleshooting So Far
Re-installed windows three times.
Wiped gpu drivers multiple times, each time using DDU, and ensuring the most recent Nvidia drivers are used.
Reset CMOS multiple times.
Tested with just onboard graphics. No video card. Same problem.
Tested using VGA and HDMI. Same problem.
Ensured motherboard BIOS is up to date (Version 1.9).
Checked Device Manager to ensure no errors are present. None exist.
Turned off pc. Unplugged power cable. Held down power button for one minute. Restarted. Same problem.
I am at my absolute wits end with this. I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Please, anyone, help me with this. I cannot do windows updates properly, software installation that requires a restart, or overclock the cpu. Please, any advice is greatly appreciated.
