Computer turns on, black screen, keyboard and mouse doesn't work

[Amir Arfan]

So, I was playing games today, and I decided to shut the computer down as I left my home. After I came home, I tried to turn it on, but I only got a black screen + the keyboard and mouse were not working. They were also not lighting with their green and red colors.

did the fans and components turn on? where there any beeps and did you see a post screen?

Happened to me after i killed the power to my room room next doors outlet was smoking... it interupted something in the power supply changed out the battery on the motherboard (there is a small watch battery on there C2032) easy pop out pop in install. then disconnected and reconnected PSU from mobo worked perfectly. Didn't find the answer anywhere online but figured id pay it forward so people won't continue changing out parts everywhere for $200 plus not sure if this will fix everyones problem but worked for me. Had it happen once before but it was just the keyboard and mouse not working only reason i had half a clue what to do, and i got lucky hopefully this finds the people who can fix it this way before they drop $200 plus on a bunch of new parts.

I had this same exact problem and was tripping out because i JUST bought new mother board and put this basically new PC together only two days ago. Turns out one of the older ram sticks i was using was bad. HUGE thanks to AVengur for saving me a lot of time, money, and pain

all you need is to check all the possible problem them try to fix it then if theirs no one could fix the problem.
try look your CAPACITOR @ MOBO maybe its leak or dmg...capacitor not only physical the problem but on the overuse..


capacitor is also main problem of your threads to your comp.


to fix try replaced same value ,capacity.thats all maybe could help this too.....sorry not so good on english...

This happened to me too today, though i have no idea how to fix it. Did this by chance happen when running a program through steam?

This happened to me when I was playing steam today

I have the same exact problem as some of you. My computer was just fine until I downloaded steam. I started getting blue screen of deaths and now its the same problem with the fans working but everything else doesn't. Somebody should definitely look into this Steam correlation.

I have this problem just now, I know the reason is computer got shut down while in sleep mode.

I had the same exact problem just now. was pulling my hair out trying to trouble shoot every individual part. The last thing i need is to have to replace my mobo. in the end, I turned my pc off and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on with no trouble at all. Also I noticed that my LAN port light was still lighting up, so i knew it couldn't have been a mobo failure. Ive come across many weird bugs and errors that I can't find a reason for and this is one of them. Its best to just unplug your pc, take a break, watch a tv show or something and then turn it back on and see what happens.

i had the same problem with my computer today, and i tried most of what was recommended here, what actually helped in the end was removing one of the fans i had installed on the side of my computer. After this everything works fine, so if anyone else has this problem, you could give this a try
