Problem description: Just built a new computer last weekend(specs below). When powering up the computer one of three things will happen 1) Everything boots 100% fine. 0 issues. Computer responds well to any kind of stress test I can throw at it with no freezing/crashing/etc. This happens maybe 1 out of 8 times I power on 2) No signal to screen. None of the ports work (display port, DVI, or HDMI). Only solution is to hold down the power button to shut down, and then power up again. Happens maybe 3 out of 8 times 3) Computer boots fine except the wifi card isn't detected by the system. No other issues noted but this computer needs the wifi for internet because of placement. Happens about half the time Attempted fixes: 1) Reinstalled windows with full wipe and reinstall. Froze once or twice during both installs and had to be restarted. Repair install failed. Figure whatever is causing the problem is causing this issue too. 2) Updates to any and all firmware/drivers 3) Pulled all but one stick of RAM. This maybe helped a little? Hard to tell since it's so random. Either way problem was not completely resolved. Recent changes: -- New build so everything Operating system: Windows 10 Pro 64bit System specs: MB: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-G3 CPU: Intel i5 6500 GFX card: Asus GTX1080 Ram: G.Skill TridentZ 4x8GB DDR4 (F4-3200C16Q-32GTZB) HD: Samsung PM961 256GB (for OS) PSU: 650W Location: US I have Googled and read the FAQ: Yes I'm not sure what it could be simply because it's so inconsistent. I figure it must be either a hardware or BIOS settings issue but besides that I'm pretty lost. At least it works perfectly fine if I turn it off and on 5-10 times or leave it on forever I guess? Mostly just hoping someone has seen something similar so I'm not replacing parts at random until I find the troublemaker.

I'd use onboard video temporarily and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't then I'd also disconnect the WiFi card and see if that makes a difference. What PSU exactly?

I tried the onboard video when initially running into this problem before the windows install and it didn't make a difference at that stage. I disabled it in the BIOS after the windows install. Still worth trying? Haven't tried pulling the wifi card yet but I'll give that a shot next. PSU is an Evga NEX650G

Is it possible memory is the issue here? I haven't modified my voltage/timings/etc yet, but I'm wondering if it might be necessary for this RAM

You only have the one SSD right? Good Citizen posted:Is it possible memory is the issue here?
