Hi, my PC is a few years old now. Recently noticed it randomly turning off when it was left and went to sleep. Now it won't output anything to a screen at all. PSU and MB fans are all running fine when I turn it on. I've got lights on the board for the power and PCIe channels. I've tried attaching a speaker but I don't get any POST beeps.
Spec:
Windows 10
Core i3 6100
ASUS Prime H270M Plus Motherboard (not sure of the BIOS version but should be up to date)
ASUS STRIX GTX-960 DC2OC 4G
HyperX Fury 16GB (2x8) DDR4 2666 Memory
bequiet! System Power8 500W PSU
Samsung 850 Evo SSD boot drive
WD Blue 1TB main drive
Trouble shooting steps so far and results:
Cables all checked and fitted fine.
Replaced the PSU no change
Tried removing the graphics card and connecting to the board directly, also tried another (known good monitor)
Tried clearing CMOS but no joy
Pretty sure the above indicates the mobo or processor is toast, but would appreciate if you have any additonal ideas for making sure. I don't have a spare mobo or processor, so probably going to replace both at once.
I'm considering replacing the mobo and processor with a Ryzen 5 3600 (or 3600X) and a B450 mobo. If I did would my current graphics card and memory work? Any other thoughts or options I should consider please?
