I need help with my computer.

[lgr2]

Hi guys,

About a week ago I was on my computer playing a game, and suddenly my monitor shut off. I was confused why it abruptly shut off, but the pc kept running. The monitor was saying, "no video signal", so I tried a different monitor, it did not work. After I tried a functioning monitor with my computer, I decided to try a different vga cable. The vga cable did not seem to fix the problem, after that I replaced the DVI/VGA adapter, and that did not work. I decided that i would remove the RAM, and the CMOS battery, for about ten minutes before placing it back in. After I placed them back in, I connected my pc with my monitor, unfortunately I encountered another problem. My computer kept turning on/off, this was not happening before. What did I do wrong? Could it be that one of the RAM sticks isn't pushed all the way in? Could it be the CMOS battery?

It's very unlikely to be the CMOS battery however they're cheap so it'd be worth looking at replacing it first just in case.

Judging by your issue however I'd say the issue is either with your RAM or the motherboard. Try reseating the RAM and testing the different slots.

Are any beep codes given by the board is the speaker is connected?

I barely get to hear beeps, because it keeps turning on and off. I took out the ram, and cmos battery and placed them back in after 10 minutes. I'll try placing the ram in different slots, this is not a psu issue is it? It was working before I touched the ram and cmos, it just said no signal.

It is possible it's a CMOS issue however unlikely after it changed when altering the CMOS and RAM. I'm personally leaning towards the board being at fault.

Should I still try replacing the CMOS battery, and reseating the RAM in different slots? Also, should I try to connect to onboard video to see if the board is at fault? If I connect to onboard video, do I need to remove the GPU?
