Also, when I describe this problem and talk about the bios phase, I also mean I don't see the splash screen or anything (aside from the split second chop) prior to the windows log in while on Display Port.
For giggles, try spamming TAB before/during POST to see if anything displays that way. To be clear, you can't smash delete and get into the BIOS, right?
I forgot to mention, I tried working through the menu while the issue was happening. Nothing jumped out at me.
Post magically merged:
I can smash delete and it will go into bios. You just can't see it with human eyes. I video recorded it with my cell phone and when it flashes for a millisecond, once every 5 seconds or so, I can see its in bios when you go to the video.
Updating my bios was the first thing I did when building the PC, after troubleshooting that I needed to use an HDMI to see anything.
Confirmation that it was the monitor though. The new monitor arrived. I am just getting to using it this morning but it displays BIOS and bios splash screens with the same Display Port cable without issue.
Hey there! Your build looks solid overall, and you’ve done a great job balancing quiet performance with high-end gaming potential. A few things to consider:
Monitor and GPU Compatibility: The LG 32UN500-W monitor you chose has a 60Hz refresh rate, which is a bit on the lower side for a high-end GPU like the RTX 4070. If you’re aiming for smoother gameplay, especially for more demanding games or if you want to take full advantage of the GPU’s capabilities, a 120Hz or 144Hz monitor would be ideal. However, if you're mainly focusing on strategy games like Cities Skylines 2, the 60Hz monitor should be just fine.
PSU: A 1000W PSU is definitely more than enough, especially with your planned setup. If your PCPartPicker estimate is 543W, then bumping up to 914W (1.5x factor) is a solid move, but for even more headroom, the 1000W be quiet! Dark Power 13 you selected should work great. It’s 80+ Titanium certified, which will help with efficiency too.
CPU Cooler: The Thermalright Peerless Assassin is a great budget cooler, but you're right to be cautious about compatibility with the LGA1700 socket. The cooler you chose is compatible, but I’d suggest double-checking the mounting hardware or looking at other options like Noctua’s NH-U12A, which is quieter and known for excellent cooling.
Memory: 64GB of DDR5-6600 is overkill unless you’re doing heavy multitasking or specific workloads (like video editing or 3D rendering). For gaming, 32GB is usually more than enough, and you could save some money there if you're not planning to use all 64GB.
One additional suggestion: If you want to double-check compatibility, performance, and possibly get some suggestions for tweaks, I recommend using PCBuilder (search for it) . It’s a great tool to help visualize your build, check for potential issues, and even suggest optimized alternatives that might save you money without sacrificing performance.
Good luck with the build! It’s looking like it’s going to be a powerful and quiet gaming rig.
