    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Following up after I've resolved in case anyone finds this in future. I took a holiday after my last post and was busy with work after that so I took about a month to get around to taking another look at it. Long story short, it was FUBAR - the motherboard, and subsequently the RAM and CPU...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Tried the battery method. Don't really know what I'm doing but used the two screwdrivers to touch the two metal parts of the battery holder for a minute. Replugged, rebooted PC, both holding del and not, still no luck no signal. Also tried a 2nd battery, which is old, but worked fine last I...

    View: https://imgur.com/a/asus-a320m-k-motherboard-clrtc-assumption-sPDcBoi Here are the pins I tried (link to image should work). The CLRTC signage is kind of offset between two so its a little unclear. I'll try the battery method now and keep posted.

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    So I used the ASUS general guide you sent as well as this Reddit thread specific to my Mobo https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/uXjG3RqRbV to try identify and jump the pins. Similar to that poster I found it hard to tell which was meant to be which, it’s an unusual Mobo setup even for asus...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    I’m not being presented with any screen ever, to be clear. Fans and pc lights come on but that’s it. Not getting to video card screen or BIOS etc. So I removed the battery for a few minutes and I tried to short the nearest pins with a small flathead screwdriver. There was some kind of click...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely try this if I get my output signals working again. This wouldn’t work if I tried to hook up the monitor to a laptop and check its events there, right? But if I wasn’t clear, I can’t look there now. my major problem is it’s still black today and I can’t...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Sorry, I didn’t mention it in the original post but in my rebuild troubleshooting I tried this - removed GPU, hooked the monitor up to the ig slot and no dice, it doesn’t help and monitor still gives no signal. This is part of why I suspect mobo or cmos problems and not graphics card problems...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Thanks for the reply. I haven’t messed with any power options, but I’m also not too worried about the power button - I can turn the PC off at the PSU. I mentioned the new power switch issue as a curious symptom that might ring a bell for somebody with experience. The real problem is that I get...

    Question PC cut out during use, monitor and hardware lost signal.

    Hello, long time lurker but finally had my own issue and hope to get some advice. I’ll explain the problem first then give some other details. I was gaming for about 30 minutes yesterday when my screen went black. Monitor no signal, light on the mouse and keyboard went out. Monitor itself works...
