Question Had system mostly on for 4 or 5 years, now fans spinning (idk why) and no video.

Hi...
I have an Aorus Master x570 1.1 and a ryzen 5800x and anasus dual rtx 2070S...I was using vr and my computer shut down unexpectedly. I took out the cmos battery and graphics card for 10 min. then put them back, but the fans still spin up even though the only fan I should have going is my cpu fan, but still no video.
I've pretty much had it on for 4 or 5 years only needing to restart a few times a week. Using Windows 11...I assembled it a few years ago which was tough for me. I'm originally an Apple user, but do NOT like their prices...lol...Thank you for your help, hopefully.

which power supply are you using?

try the gpu in a different system
try a different PSU

I'm using a seasonic platinum tx 850...I don't have another system unfortunately...I have another of the same psu but only one set of cables....thanks. IDK. should I try a new cmos battery or is there a way to put a new bios on the board if I have no video? sorry if those are stupid questions? this was the only system I ever built and it took me over 8 hours! I have it in the open because the case was too small for me to screw with. It was working fine until a few days ago.

the PSU is full modular, so you just have to remove the installed PSU, install the other and plug the same plugs back in. Be sure it´s really the same PSU model, otherwise wrong cables could destroy your system.

cmos battery shouldn´t be the culprit, these last about 5 to 10 years without problem. You can try if you want.
the motherboard most likely is not the problem, but you could try flashing the latest BIOS onto it using USB BIOS Flashback feature of your motherboard

you could try to unplug your hard drives and try getting into BIOS

I will do all that tomorrow when I wake up. I'm using a shitty chromebook to watch amazon prime. sounds like it will work. Thx again, helpstar.
