Dun need to follow Nvidia's minimum wattage requirement, they always set quite high.

600W is still enough for 1x 1080ti. Only if you OC both CPU and GPU till very high, then you may see a bottleneck in psu.

Yesterday after I reset. My GPU can be detected and project on my monitor. I tried to shut down and on again it worked. But the following day it can't work again. So I'm not sure whether if it's PSU or MOBO issue

Best is still to bring down to PC Care & Solution to ask for help. He can test with another rig to zoom in on the issue.

You are using a very old mobo which warranty may already be over. Even if it isnt and can still RMA, it will take 1-2 mths to do so coz need find stocks.

If u change to new gen mobo, u need change cpu and ram as well.

Dun so fast draw into conclusion that psu or mobo is spoil. You will only waste unnecessary $$. Get an expert or another opinion for your pc issue.

B85 is the last gen that supports DDR3. All newer gens after your mobo are using DDR4. There are some 1xx series which uses DDR3 but it will be very hard to find. And you will need to change cpu as well.

Just get it diagnosed properly and determine the issue before thinking of next step.

I notice when my pc is not on, the screen shows check signal cable

However once I turn no, became no signal and post beep 1 long 3 short

I suspect one of these are faulty
MOBO Gigabyte GA B85M-D3H
PSU Seasonic M12II 600W

Summary:
GPU all along connect two device, monitor by DP cable, TV by DVI-D cable.
CPU suddenly cannot detect GPU. No signal on both
Plug in DVI to intergrated graphics card and Windows are shown on TV.
Do a reset(reformat) on my CPU and managed to have the GPU loaded on my monitor again.
Disable intergrated card on my bios, removed my dvi from GPU, so now only one DP connected to GPU and my monitor

Couldn't restart PC, CPU won't boot(got signal on screen but black screen)
Need to do a hard shutdown by holding power button and power up PC then CPU will be successful boot and windows shown on monitor(tried this almost close to 10 times to confirm)

Shut down my PC overnight, next morning couldn't boot my PC

No signal on monitor, the usual one peep sound from my CPU become few peeps(I believe to indicate there's no display output detected)

Please advise is it PSU problem or MOBO problem! Thanks in advance.

should be this issues :

One Long and 3 Short Beeps refer to a RAM problem for AMI Bios.
The two beeps later indicate a graphics problem.
Remove all the RAM, power on the PC and listen for a repeated single beep from the Mobo speaker. If you hear that beep the Mobo is probably OK.
Brand & Model of CPU-RAM-Graphics-PSU.

either bad rams or ram slot die lei

just use a low powered card to test. Most likely your psu cant make it for the 1080.
