So, I built this PC a few years ago. A few days ago, I went on a trip for 3 days. When I returned, my PC would boot up (all the fans would spin, hard drive audibly started up), but no video output. Additionally, the GPU and power button LED's would not turn on, but the GPU fans would spin.
What I've tried so far:
When all of the above failed, I took it to Best Buy Geek Squad, who told me it was either my CPU or MOBO. I replaced them both, as well as upgrading to DDR4 RAM.
Now, after replacement, the power button and GPU lights stay lit, and all fans and lights power on, but still no video output. Tried all of the aforementioned fixes again, no dice. Very grateful for any ideas.
*NOTE* I do NOT have a case speaker.
Specs
Mobo: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K
GPU: GIGABYTE Radeon R9 280 3GB
PSU: CORSAIR CX-M series CX600M (600w)
OS: Windows 7
RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
What I've tried so far:
Removing the GPU and using integrated graphics.
Removing and replacing RAM one by one.
Remounting the CPU and heat sink.
Checking all cables and connections.
Unplugged and held the power button to expel residual power.
Changing GPU PCI-E slot.
Removing extra peripherals from MOBO.
