I've recently upgraded my PC with a new RTX 5070, but I'm facing some frustrating issues. Occasionally, my monitor goes blank and displays a "No signal" message while the GPU fans spin loudly, even when I'm not gaming. Here are my specs: an i7 9700k CPU, TUF B360-Plus Gaming motherboard, and a Corsair TX850M power supply. I know my CPU may bottleneck performance, and my motherboard is a bit outdated. Could these older components be causing my current problem?

Just double-checking, did you completely remove the old drivers before installing the new ones? It's a common step that some forget, but using a tool like DDU is the right way to go!
Have you tried cycling through your monitor's HDMI and DisplayPort inputs? Sometimes switching the input back and forth can help. Also, check your BIOS settings to see if you can toggle between PCIe generations.
It sounds like you might have an issue with the 12v connection to your GPU. Make sure the power cables are securely plugged in, especially the 2x6 pin connector. If it's not properly seated or if the connector is damaged, that could definitely cause the no signal issue.
