So I decided to get my old XPS out and fix it. Tougher than I thought; it's giving out 5 continuous beeps for the CMOS battery but I had replaced it with a new one and it still beeped. Still, it should show the BIOS screen am I right? (tbh, I've no clue) As far as I know, the GPU is still functioning but it could be the MB, but I have no clue. Also, it's not displaying anything- except from my TV saying there is no signal. Full system specs:
CPU: I7-4770 3.4Ghz
MB:
GPU: GTX 650 Ti
RAM: 12GB quad channel 2x4gb 2x2 gb Hyundai
PSU: Stock XPS 8700 (no clue what it's called) 440 watts
HDD: External Toshiba 1tb (moved the internal to my new pc) no O.S
Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this 6 yr old pc?
Also, I don't think having any O.S on the hard drive matters, it should still show the BIOS screen and the options to access the boot menu to boot it up from the USB I have connected.
