My prebuilt PC recently stopped working and so I assumed it was a motherboard outage (The fan spun wildly as the PC refused to start up). I bought a new motherboard and transferred all parts to it. Since then PC, still refuses to start up, but the fan problem appears to have been fixed. I've tried different combinations of RAM, a new RAM stick entirely, 2 different CPUs, and even messing with the hard drives, and the result hasn't changed. I do indeed get a beep code when there is no RAM present, and oddly enough, the brand new stick of RAM I bought gives me one too. The motherboard and PSU are both brand new, the CPU, one of my hard drives, and 2 sticks of RAM are no more than a year old, and 2 more of my sticks of RAM, and another hard drive are approximately over 4 years old.
As for the actual problem, it appears nothing works when I attempt to start up my computer. I'm offered a blank screen, my monitor doesn't even detect a signal, and none of my usb peripherals turn on. Yes, I have remounted the CMOS battery and tried different VGA cables and even a different monitor, the result does not change. I can't figure out the problem for the life of me, and neither can my friends, I'd like some advice.
The parts I'm using:
Motherboard: Dell Optiplex s1155
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600K
PSU: EVGA 500W Gold
RAM: (specs mostly unkown) 4 sticks, 14 GB total, DDR3
if any more part information is needed, just ask
