Hi!
Saturday I was playing tw3 as usual when my PC shut down.
Since then, I'm not able to see anything on screen, there is not video signal anymore.
Already changed monitor, changed PCI slot and changed GPU, nothing worked.
What could it be? Bought all components in June17 except GPU is 09/2016
Gigabyte ab350 gaming 3
Ryzen 7 1700
RX 470 8gb
2x8gb Corsair vengeance 3200
Evga supernova gq 650w 80gold
Ty guys!

This sounds silly, but when you changed the monitor did you also change the monitor cable? I went through a similar troubleshooting process a few years ago and the faulty monitor cable was literally the last thing I checked.

I've tried DVI and hdmi cables, on two monitors and TV also

Well damn, guess it's not a simple fix then :\

If the machine is operating normally otherwise, then it sounds like your motherboard or PSU is borked from a power spike.

I don't think the 1700 has an onboard GPU.

You mean an integrated GPU? 'Cause there is no such thing on the Ryzen CPUs.

the use of onboard graphics available on a motherboard is dependant on the CPU having on-die graphics capabilities to be able to make use of them - some chips do not have this capability, so could not use the motherboard stuff even if they wanted to :) - that is what people are trying to say :)

It is a AB motherboard, which means that it will support the APUs that will be released in the future.

When mysterious things happen with a computer I find that most of the time it's a PSU issue.

Also when trouble shooting it's kind of important to know if the machine turns on at all, and if it beeps and all the fans spin up and so on.

This mb model it's weird and never heard it beep. Anyway, all led of case, mb, GPU and CPU are working, all fan are going normally except of the GPU but I think it's normal cause when I changed it whit an old hd5000 series, fan were spinning.
My psu is semi modular, already swapped GPU cable. Psu is the only component bought on Amazon and I found Amazon selling poor quality object since years so it could be a possibility. I've to try another psu so?

check to see if the motherboard has a speaker - little one attached - if not, then it might not beep - check manual - I had to add a little speaker to mine to be able to hear the beeps, and they tell you soooo much :) (some motherboards have replaced beeps with LED codes to indicate issues)

if it is still powering on, then try pressing F2 or del while powering on, just to see if you can get to bios at least - otherwise it is a needle in a haystack :(

Your MB model has error lights instead, check those out.

modular PSUs do not have standard cables, so I really hope you switched the cable to another one from the exact same model. Using the wrong cables with modular PSUs is one of the most common ways to fry pretty much everything in your computer at once these days.

I used only cables in the original package. I've not seen error led, I'll check better later

They're on the bottom right of the board, four tiny LEDs and notation about which one is which - VGA, CPU, BOOT and DRAM. Should tell you where the problem is.

Do you have your old PC or could you borrow a friend's to troubleshoot ?
Swap everything swapable [GPU, Memory] and see if they work.
Then swap their PSU into yours and test that. Do NOT test your PSU on another PC, if its the point of failure, it could affect their hardware.

If its not GPU/Memory/PSU, it will most likely be a motherboard issue.

Edit: When swapping, go one by one. Don't swap GPU and memory at once, not even all memory sticks at once.

It's too hard to diagnose with any accuracy without sitting in front of it (and being able to swap out parts).
If I had to hazard an educated guess - like the others, I'd say it's a PSU or mobo issue at this point.

You can test the PSU with a multimeter (google how to) and if you have another available, swap yours out and see if it solves the issue.
Also, try resetting your BIOS (you can google how to do that as well - usually just take the CMOS battery out for a couple minutes).

what i'd check:

could be anything, but if the board speakers are on, and you get no beep (error beeps were enabled in bios) and your diagnostic
leds don't light up red or something, (while the computer itself runs * "fans and stuff") with no other error indications
chances are very high the video card is faulty - being able to pop that in into another system would let you know for certain

Sounds pretty weird. Given that it's two different cards, which I assume were working to this point, I suspect the power, either from the MB or the power cables. Do you have any GPU that doesn't require extra power, i.e., takes power only from the slot?

I ordered a new mobo, same model.
Same problem.
I've done all troubleshooting again before, nothing worked.
I was saying a long series of "porcodio" and "porcamadonna" when after a minute or so, pc booted with an old GPU plugged in.
So the probelm was the GPU and my fault was not to be patient, because apparently, when you put a new hardware on this mobo, it has to be a 30-40 seconds cycle of led blinking and so on..
Thanks for your help and your suggestions.
Now I've to buy a new GPU..
Based on my config, wich one you will suggest? :D
I'm oriented on asus strix gtx 1060 6Gb. There is something better price/quality?
Sorry for my english XD
