motherboard - msi b550 pro-vdh gpu - rx 5700 this is a brand new pc and my first time building it. everything was working fine for like 6-7 hours. i was kinda excited so i did the bare minimum updates at first. i downloaded cod warzone and when i tried to play the game, it said i jad to update my graphics drivers. so i went to the amd site and downloaded an ap which auto updated the drivers. after this i started the game and as i was about to start the first match my display went blank and i saw my gpu had stopped running. i restarted my pc and i got 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. i removed and placed back the card. i dont have any spare gpu or motherboards i can use to check too. what is the problem here?
Turn off CMOS for five minutes. If this doesn't resolve the issue, I'll reinstall Windows.
Yes, you can reinstall Windows or reset your SSD without using another computer. For the SSD, you might need a tool like DiskPart or a recovery USB to wipe it. Regarding CMOS, it’s a small battery-powered circuit that keeps your system settings saved after power off.
the cmos battery is close to the gpu. you can reinstall windows without moving it to another computer by using the same usb you used during download, setting that usb as boot priority in bios, and repeating the steps. while the process runs, all data will be automatically erased when windows is downloaded again. it’s simpler to follow a video tutorial, but you won’t need another machine.
It seems I may have overlooked that not all data will be removed instantly. All files will move to a Windows.old directory, which you can then delete.
Unfortunately, I don’t have integrated graphics on my CPU, which means I can’t reach the BIOS settings since there’s no display available. Are there alternative methods you could use to access the boot menu?
When the POST/BIOS isn't visible, it suggests a hardware issue rather than software problems. No drivers are present, and Windows isn't loading at this stage. A defective GPU is likely the primary cause.
