GPU emits a beep and skips the BIOS, while the second monitor occasionally misses a frame for a moment.
Hey! I just assembled my first gaming PC about two weeks ago. Swapped out all the components except the case and GPU, which I plan to replace soon. I put everything together and turned it on. It caused some issues – no image display, only a long pause followed by a three-second delay before showing the login screen. I checked the documentation and realized it was related to the GPU. After that, I connected my main monitor and managed to open everything: Windows, updates, BIOS, drivers, etc. Now the PC is functioning properly. But there are still a couple of concerns. First, after the initial beep sequence, it takes a while before it starts the login process. Second, sometimes the second monitor loses its picture briefly – only on that one. I also noticed fans running a bit louder or straining more on the second monitor than the first. It happens even when there’s no noticeable noise. When Netflix is playing, the second monitor sometimes turns into a blurry gray for a moment until I stop it. *When I built the PC and couldn’t get a clear picture, I swapped my GTX 1060 for an older GTX 960 to test.* That card still works fine. My 1060 is plugged into a 5.0 PCI slot – the manual says it’s fine, but it’s worth noting. I double-checked all connections and cables, though I haven’t tried swapping the GPU cable just yet. If you need help, any tips would be super appreciated! Thanks a lot, Jonah
When the machine is powered down and I disconnect the power supply, then reconnect it and turn it back on, it functions properly with the BIOS displayed correctly. This seems like an unusual problem.
