[SOLVED] Extra long post time

[Mk3Ghost]

To start off with i missed pc gaming and bought a used system off of facebook.

I3-4130
EVGA GTX 750
8GB of ddr3 crucial ram
MSI z97 PC Mate mobo
TS 550W psu
And some old seagate drive.

Worked great for about two months.
All of a sudden when i pushed the power button it would take 5 to 10 minutes to post. All fans spin and light up. Nothing else.

Would finally boot. No problem i can deal with that.

Then all of a sudden it just wouldnt post at all. So i left it on over night and at some point while i was alseep it finally booted and was on when i woke up.

Never turned it off again just used sleep mode.

Got home from work yesterday and it was off. Think a kid pulled the plug idk.

It has now but on for almost 48 hours amd still hasnt posted.

I know pcs and their components but i am horrible at troubleshooting so any help what so ever is greatly appreciated!

"a used system "

After you got it home, did you do a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and everything else?

It had a fresh wipe and windows 10 pro install yes.

I would buy a new drive and reinstall it again you can get a 1TB WD blue for about 40 bucks. Before that try to boot into safe mode.

How can i install that on a new drive when i can even get the pc to turn on. My monitor just says no signal

Did YOU do it?
That is the only way to tell provenance of the install.

Full wipe and reinstall, even if the seller says he did it 5 minutes ago.

Try booting in safe mode if you cant then boot to BIOS and see if you get a display then.

I'm familiar with safe mode and getting into bios. Maybe im stupider then i thought is there a way to do that with out the screen?

I press the power button. The screen says no signal and it stays that way. Not even a flicker of life besides the fans

Take the GTX 750 out, plug the monitor into the motherboard and try again.
If I remember correctly, that old platform had the iGPU integrated into the motherboard.
