Solved PC beeping and nothing showing on monitor

Your best option for now then is to use the Update now option here just choose not to keep anything on the drive to get rid of all the old stuff on the drive, you will still need to get a bigger SSD in the future or you will run out of space again, just remember while stuck with this SSD save everything to the other drive and keep the SSD just for Windows.

Get Windows updated, if all is ok, create a new system restore point, shut down and isolate the computer from the mains, press the power on button to get rid of any residual charge in the system, ground yourself on a bare metal part of the case or PSU to get rid of any static, swap the card into the other PCI-E slot making sure that it is secure while not pressing down to hard on anything, reassemble, test then post back with an update for us.

I've also seen a thing called Driver Booster 7 to update my drivers would you recommend doing this?

Please stay away from such garbage, it normally ends in tears, I have another canned for this as well, see below;

Once Windows has been installed, you install the necessary drivers for the MB and other hardware and then leave well alone, drivers should not be allowed to auto update and you should never update any driver/s unless the new drivers are intended to resolve a specific issue that you are having, installing new drivers unnecessarily can actually cause you the very issues that any new drivers are intended to resolve and uninstalling the new drivers may not resolve the problem/s that installing the new drivers has caused.

Depending on priority it can take many months before the driver provider releases any fix and they sometimes do not even bother.

I did mention one possible cause back in my reply #16

The GPU is a Radeon R9 270X PowerColor 2GB OC TurboDuo Edition and this is potential cause #1, this GPU requires the system to be powered by a minimum of a 500W PSU, see specs here the present PSU is from a good brand but apart from being under powered it is also the Value Series which are not intended for anything more than an entry level desktop, this PSU will be damaging the hardware by not being able to provide the required power.

The X4 slot draws less power so the 450W may be able to cope, hard to prove though without having the appropriate 500W to test the theory.

I`m a proper nag when it comes to PSUs, the least expensive quality brand Bronze efficiency rated 500W PSU that I could find is the Seasonic here the proof of it`s quality apart from the name is the five year warranty period.

You are of course free to choose your own but if you do please use the links in my sig for brands to choose and brands to avoid.

Just so you are aware and before you purchase any new PSU, if the PCI-E X16 slot on the MB is bad upgrading the PSU will not fix it and last but not least as is always advised see if you are able to borrow a known good minimum of a 500W PSU to swap in for testing before you head off and purchase a new one, we like to cover all bases before folk part with their cash.

No worries, you have the info that you need when the time is right to act upon it.

It depends on what is going on with the fans and whether or not they can be controlled, if the fans are the 4 pin type you should be ok, you have an ASUS MB so start here

Going off topic so please start a new thread and one of us will assist you there.

Marking this thread as solved as the initial OP has been answered and assistance with a separate issue has now been requested.
