I'm wondering if anyone's encountered this problem before. The PC upon starting up will either take forever to reach the dual bios splash screen, or will just shut off on its own. Sometimes it will hit the bios screen on both monitors, then go to black, then hit the bios screen again, then black on an ongoing cycle. I haven't been able to get this thing to start up.
Here are my specs:
amd fx-8350 4ghz
gigabyte ga-970A-D3P
MSI Radeon RX 480 4gb
Rosewill 650W 80+ ATX Power Supply
Probably something with the motherboard or harddrive. Check to make sure your cables are fully plugged in before doing anything drastic.

I was just able to get it to boot and start up on Windows 10 from the HDD. What's strange is that for every 10-15 times the start up fails, it will start up normally and hit the splash screen, then load the OS from the HDD like there is no problem at all.

Don't turn off power saving features, cool'n'quiet etc, gigabyte amd boards don't like it

.01 buttcoin says you have a bunch of USB bullshit plugged in.
Remove all your USB (actually unplug, not power-off) except for keyboard and mouse if that's what you use and try again.

My only usb devices are a single mouse and occasionally one external HDD
I disconnected a second cd rom drive I have attached. Typically in the past I noticed that sometimes one of the two of them would not even power up when I started up the machine. So far it's been starting up fine, but I think this machine might do better with a higher wattage power supply. Any thoughts?
