I have a old 7700 that is now suddenly dropping signal on both analog and hdmi ports. I tested different cables for both. I cleaned, reseated, etc. and a simple reboot fixes it until it happens again about 30 minutes later, sometimes much longer. Opening a game drops it automatically. Sound seems to trigger it too.

Is that a PSU issue or the card itself? Swapped monitors too but the issue perisists.

Thank you.

sounds like the card

Yea. Updating drivers as a last ditch effort. I've rebooted 3 times sense I started this convo and it's blinking in and out now.

I sent back both the CPU and motherboard to Amazon because I wanted to be safe and not waste anymore time troubleshooting.

I looked around and found the Gigabyte Z590 Vision D, which is the newest version, but I'm now a little hesitant to go with another of their boards so instead, I ordered an ASUS Prime Z590-A. The features were exactly the same as I could tell as the Gigabyte and it was nearly $100 dollars less.

My last 2 mobos have been Asus. Current GPU is Asus. Never had an issue, and have been happy with performance.

I couldn't get my mind off it possibly being a power issue. I disconnected one of my case fans and everything is fine (though I will be replacing the PSU).

Yeah my MOBO and GPU are both Asus and they have been awesome, you might have been the lucky person to get the dud in that run

Every company has parts that fail. What matters is choosing a product that fits your needs and is from a company that will stand behind their product and isn't going to try to **** you and put the blame on you to void the warranty.

Kinda.

Having not shitty drivers really matters a lot.

I just want a computer that can run my PS2 emulator better.

Any recommendations on a power supply? My computer just started doing something weird and I think it's related to that. If my computer is off I click the power button it lights up then turns right back off. I do it again and everything is fine. Google search shows it's that. So, was going to run to microcenter on Friday and get one, might get a mobo and an AMD cpu too

Honestly, I've never really been too particular on PS brand. Most are generally the same components rebranded for the thousands of different sellers. Just pay attention to the rating. That's the important part.

Be aware that there are power supplies out there with fake rating standards. Be cautious if the price seems too good to be true. Generally you can check the reviews from other users online and figure out if it's a decent model.

In case you're not aware, there's currently several different types of power supplies. There's the old school original mass of cables hanging out. There's some that are semi-modular. Meaning there's some cabling directly attached, with ports for adding more of your choice. There's also fully modular models. Which is what I prefer. There's lots of ports, so you can attach only the cabling you need, with no extra wires hanging there doing nothing. Really makes the case look cleaner.

Well, I ordered the wrong motherboard and just had to refuse the Newegg.com order. The ASUS Prime Z590-a supports Thunderbolt 4 but the add-on card is $165 dollars and there's no backwards compatibility just yet.

I was forced to order another i9-10850k, because they wouldn't allow me to keep the CPU - I had to return everything. Now, it comes down to the ASUS ProArt Z490-Creator or the Gigabyte Z590 Vision D. The ASUS is nearly $100 dollars less but it would allow me to upgrade the CPU down the line. But wow, $428 dollars after tax and shipping for a motherboard is a lot of dough.

Decisions, decisions.

Every day wishing you’d have ordered the components you wanted is a bad day, in my experience.
