I recall experiencing this problem myself a couple of times and it turned out my GPU wasn't seated properly, so I suggest giving that a shot

It is a desktop. I don't know exactly what the error was because it was my brother that was on the computer when it happened and he said he was playing a video game (CS GO) before it happened. I have taken out my GPU and put it back in after dusting it, un plugged and then plugged in my hard drive again, changed ram slots but nothing has worked so far. The computer turns on and everything seems to be working, I just can't get anything to display on the monitor

Hello again shaikhnbake

If the monitor doesn't even display the initial motherboard's manufacturer logo, you can try clearing the CMOS. To do so:

> Power off the PC.

> Unplug it from the power supply.

> Open the side cover of the system case.

> Pull out the CMOS battery (the one that is round in shape and shiny, and looks like those used in wrist watches).

> Leave the computer alone for 30 to 45 minutes.

> Plug the PC back to the power supply.

> Try starting the computer, first without the CMOS battery, and then with it.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!!

Okay I'm fairly sure I took it out and did all the other steps but it still isn't working. Any other thoughts on what might be wrong?

The only other couple of ideas I have is that you may have a faulty monitor, faulty inputs or a faulty cable. What input are you currently using?

I have 2 monitors. One with dvi-d and one with Vga but it had a dvi-i adapter to plug into my graphics card. I've tried using another monitor and cable (display port to hdmi) but those won't work either

 

[Marco_55]

I have exactly the same issue

 

[suhaib_3]

I have exactly the same issue

Turns out one of my ram sticks stopped working. If you have multiple sticks try taking one out and hopefully that should fix it

 

[Marco_55]

Thanks, will try that today.

Shaiknbake, any news? Got it right?
