So, I recently upgraded my rig to a ASRock 990fx extreme 3 and AMD 8350 from a gigabyte 880 and phenom II x4. I did not reinstall the operating system as it seemed that I didn't need to. Anyways, the drivers installed correctly after disabling the antivirus. The problem that I am having is when my computer is turned on, my monitor gets no signal (using HDMI). From here I have to hard shutdown, flip the on/off switch on the psu, unplug HDMI from graphics card, flip switch to "on", and replug the HDMI back into the card. Only after following this process will the signal work when the computer is turned on. If I go into BIOS, then save and exit, the signal will be lost. Restarting the computer, signal is lost. Here is the strange thing, when I put the computer to sleep, and reawake it, the signal works. I have been leaving my computer in sleep mode whenever I am not using it. I tried a different monitor, same thing. I have not tried a different video card yet, which will probably be my next move. What I am wondering though, is if it is the memory. I thought this because it would come out of sleep (where RAM is still getting power) and recover the signal, whereas if the memory lost power, the signal would not work unless i followed the procedure stated above.
Looking for some input on what i should do next.
Has anyone had a problem similar to this?
Maybe reinstall the OS? (Will do it if I have to, but would like to avoid it)
I should also mention that the computer is running great from what I can see, no errors or anything.
