Īre you monitoring CPU/GPU temperatures? You might be overheating.although I'd expect a full shutdown if that were the case.Ĭould be hardware related. If I try to boot from SSD after a crash, the monitor shows the MSI screen then signals on and off until ultimately showing no signal. Whenever I crash, the monitor flickers and then goes black (doesn't turn off, just goes black, says "no signal.") The computer remains on, however, including all of the fans, LED, etc. However in dxdiag I did notice that Windows did not yet recognize my graphics card and was using integrated graphics, probably because no graphics driver yet. On my last try, I opened task manager, and there weren't really any issues, everything ran normally. On my next try, I'm going to try not downloading anything for 30+ mins to see if that is sparking the issue. It seems to mostly happen while I'm doing big downloads (downloading drivers), but that might just be bias. I am connected to the Internet when this happens. Given a clean OS install, the issue is most likely hardware related - unless it's a driver issue caused by Windows update (causing a driver conflict).Īre you connected to the internet when this happens ? Can you check Windows update for any update(s) that have occurred immediately prior to the crash? There will likely be a lot of updates following a clean install, but I'd focus more on drivers that you have already sourced (so chipset et al). What are you experiencing as far as "crashes"? Shutdowns? Freezes? etc. I'm now enjoying my new computer, and I hope you enjoy yours, too. I was about to go to a tech store to get my graphics card checked when, on a whim, I decided to try connecting my PC to a TV and, lo and behold, it works. Thanks!ĮDIT: For posterity, you will want to check and make sure your monitor isn't messing it up. I'd seriously appreciate any help, as I'm new to this so lots of things I don't understand yet. It works and I log back in, but in a couple of minutes Windows crashes once again. Most recently, I tried restarting my computer (normally, through Windows menu) right after installation. I haven't changed any options in my BIOS besides deselecting Legacy mode. I'm installing Windows 10 on a Samsung 960 Evo M.2 nvme device.


Most recently, I've been sure to boot with UEFI. This has happened 3 times now, using varying methods. I start to download drivers, and then it crashes (EDIT: actually, the monitor was just losing signal). So I use my flash drive to install windows and then it proceeds as normal and boots into the desktop. I've just finished building my first PC and, as far as I can tell, everything works.
