First up my relevant specs
PSU - Corsair HX850
GPU - EVGA GTX1070
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3
RAM - 4x8GB
So I rebooted the other week (I don't reboot often, usually uptime is many months), and PC didn't want to come back online. It would hang on the BIOS logo, wait about 5 mins then either reboot, or actually start to boot up but with loads of weird artefacts, or the background is all refracted.
Tried various other components, removed some of the RAM etc, and eventually got it working in original configuration but with another PSU and old ass GPU (gtx460). I had to use the other GPU due to the old PSU not having the right power connectors for my GTX 1070. When it booted up, I went into BIOS and it complained about me changing voltages previously which had led to boot failures, but I hadn't changed anything of the sort.
Thought this was pointing at the PSU, so got that replaced. Put the new one in, alongside the GTX1070, same issue and wouldn't go past the BIOS logo screen, and when it does it takes ages and shows a bunch of artefacts again.
Tried it with the old GTX460, and it boots up straight away.
Ok, so RMA the GTX1070, get the new one this morning, put it in, exact same issue. Takes ages on the BIOS logo, gets through it eventually and then boots up with random artefacts etc. Tried it in a different PCI slot, same issues.
Put the GTX460 in and its fine again.
No idea what is going on, any ideas of things I could try to determine the issue?
