Issue restarting

You could get an rx 580 b grade for about £100 and if make them an offer less vat £80 . Will be good for 1080p gaming and then sell on or keep as a back up.

Cheers pal, I think right now all I want to do is see if my restart problems are resolved with a cheap GPU. I may go for the 710 as I can pick one up real cheap. The resolution is pants but I just want to know if the GPU was the cause of my issues. If not then I can start to look at what else could be causing my issues.

I have seen on the forum people are managing to get their hands on 3080FE’s. No idea how as every time I check it’s OOS. Using bots maybe or have inside knowledge of stock times.

part of me thinks just leave the pc in it’s GPUless current state and just wait for stocks to improve. But in that case I might get to the point where I finally get a 3080 and find that my issue hasn’t been the GPU all along. Pants situation to be in.

Yeah, what I was going to offer ain't going to work for you either at that resolution (XFX R7850 Ghost - only replaced it as it wasn't man enough for Forza Horizon 4 (well, the game wanted to run on low settings in my old rig)).

It's from about 2013 and I very much doubt that it is capable of 4K.

So I have just looked into it: apparently R7850 can do 4K on a single monitor (on Windows 7) if I'm reading this correctly: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/his-radeon-hd-7850-card-can-it-run-dual-4ks.1674924/

I didn't read all the posts so forgive if I am way off on this.

Sounds to me like a cold start issue. By that I mean the PC works fine when it is at running temps but doesn't when it is stone cold. This is most likely any second hand boards you have.

It's the opposite
 
Well I managed to pinch another GPU today and happy days it’s resolved the issue. So glad it’s wasn’t motherboard related. Also managed to get my money back from the second hand GPU from flebay so all I need now is a new GPU! 6800xt or 3080FE....whichever I can get my hands on first. It could be a long wait

thanks everyone for your help and input. Much appreciated.
