Emoticon to describe this problem: :huh:

Here's what happens;
I press the power button.
My Display shows the Gigabyte motherboard loading screen.
Display gets no signal
Shows it again
and again
and again
and again
and again
Then I wait...
And turn it off

What could cause this cycle?
I have not installed new drivers
This computer is only 3 months old

I

Any fix we tell you might only be a stop-gap measure and the problem might come back
