So, I'm stumped.
Firstly...system:
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600
MB: MSI X470
PSU: EVGA 750
Ram: Ballistix Sport (8x2)
GPU: Radeon RX570
Power source: APC with surge protection.
Complaint: Powers up, fans running, drives whirring...screen asleep. No POST. No nothing. Black.
Background:
I've always had graphics driver issues, was intending to update, as it would take 60 seconds to wake from sleeping monitor. But otherwise everything running normally for months. A day ago, i came home and the system had restarted suddenly, with some 4-byte error code I can't recall, but I do remember MS called it "Blue Screen". OK. Everything seemed to work. Ran sfc, came back with some repairable errors. OK. Got my widows disc, ready to reboot into repair mode and troubleshoot. But...nothing. System runs. Black screen. Will not show anything.
Steps taken:
(1) Removed GPU and ran DVI from MB to monitor. Nothing,
(2) BIOS hard reset: Plug out, Removed CMOS battery, 30 seconds power buttoning, 5 minutes rest.Nothing,
(3) Removed all RAM, reseated just one strip. Nothing.
(4) Yes, CPU power plugged in, yes, ATX power strip seated correctly, yes, MB installed with standoffs originally, no dust, good cooling and temps for months, no loose screws, good cooling paste, no static discharges. Monitor is fine...just keeps sleeping, regardless of input method.
(5) unfortunately no POST code speaker, none came with MB, none handy.
Totally stumped. The sfc errors still shouldn't prevent starting into POST, and removing GPU should solve any graphics drivers issues. Unless my CPU magically died for no reason, which is odd considering surge protection, good cooling and temps, etc.
