    Not having a good day...black screen, no POST...pls help!

    Everything works absolutely perfectly as long as I shut down the PC (issuing Shut down rather than Restart from the menu) then turn her on then press the DEL key. The board was brand new and static bag sealed BTW and is on the current firmware. As I said, I can get into the BIOS but only by...

    That didn't go so well either. I still needed to shut down in order to get into the BIOS. Here's a pic of what I saw when I just tried a restart then pressing the DEL key. https://imgur.com/a/vf7tZFv and a video of what happens normally https://imgur.com/a/6bSp4qx

    I should have added that if I press restart then spam the DEL key one of the monitors begins to flash different colours, grey, white, blue then something that resembles a test pattern and this repeats until I press the power button to turn it off.

    Thanks very much. I'll give that a go. TBH I'm not a fan so far of the MSI BIOS and the manual the mobo came with has literally no info on it.

    Not sure on the EVGA model number as at work. Any ideas though on the BIOS issue?

    So as an update I have a new PSU coming. A Corsair 1000w model so no shortage of power hopefully. As far as getting into the BIOS is concerned, the only way I can do this currently is by asking Windows to shut down rather than restart, then turn the PC back on and press the DEL key. Any ideas?

    Thanks. I'll give that a go. I'll also look into a new PSU!

    It was doing that before I changed it from HDMI to DP. Really annoying.

    Thanks very much. That's what just happened when I was trying to setup my triple overview in Eve Online. The power went completely off for a second then it restarted! The other thing which is really annoying is I cannot get into the BIOS now. Basically if I restart and hammer the DEL key, one...

    I hope so and I'll give that a try. The card has 4 outputs, 3 DP and 1 HDMI. How do I know what output it will use to POST to?

    Not having a good day...black screen, no POST...pls help!

    I wasn't aware of that. How long is long and there's nothing on the NVMe to boot. I was waiting for the BIOS screen on one of my three monitors. The proc I have is the KF model so assume no point in plugging in one of my monitors to the the mobo HDMI port. How would I know what output of the GPU...

    I didn't try CPU PWR 2. I did get an orange LED on the mobo and the memory and GPU all list up. don't know if that makes any difference.

    Hi All, Today didn't go so well for me. I rebuilt my PC with an MSI Z790-P Wifi with 32GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance RAM, a Intel i5 13600KF CPU and a WD 1TB black NVMe SSD. Wired it all up to discover the mobo has 2 x 8-pin CPU power connectors and my PSU only has one. I tried it in the CPU PWR 1...

    First time with a new mobo and M.2 SSD...advice needed please

    Hi All, My current rig has 3 x Samsung SATA SSDs which I'm keeping but I've bought a WD Black 1TB M.2 NVMe drive which will go in my new mobo and be used to boot from as well as a couple of games. Should I not connect my existing SSDs until I've installed Windows 11 on the M.2 then connect the...

    Which used RTX 3080 should I get?

    Thanks guys. I thought all 3080 had the same amount of memory in them?

    Will this memory be compatible?

    I just get concerned when my exact part number isn't on their list of compatible RAM. They do have even faster RAM on their list however.
