Question: Display appears but loading in window (probably)
Hey everyone, I’m trying to figure something out. I’ve had this PC for about a year and a half now and things have been getting worse. Sometimes both monitors would turn off completely, but it seemed like a one-off. After restarting, everything worked again. But then it started happening more often. Eventually, when I turned it on, I saw a splash screen but no actual display. It was still booting into Windows, though I could hear the startup sounds. Now I don’t see any splash screen, but it’s still getting into Windows.
I’ve replaced the motherboard thinking that might be the problem. I’m planning to get a new CPU just in case something on my old one failed and I don’t want to waste more money.
Details:
- CPU: 3060 | R7 5700G
- Old board: Asrock B550M-C
- New board: ASUS B550 Plus AC (supports up to 5000)
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 T-Force
- Cooler: Thermaltake Smart 600W
What is the monitor? Would you like to test it with another one?
The monitor is a 75hz 1080p model. I also tried another one, but it didn't work.
Replacing a motherboard often means a Windows reinstall is needed. However, if you're not seeing any results, even at the BIOS stage, it points to another issue.
