[SOLVED] No display! Help

[prudhvirazz]

My PC is not showing anything. Not even boot screen. Working perfectly fine before I went on vacation (2 weeks)

I see the LEDs/lights on motherboard light up when I switch on the PC. CPU fan, RAM LEDs also run. 2 out of 3 GPU fans also run. Never paid much attention to it before so I don't know whether it's normal or not.

I removed the GPU just to check if it displays anything with the on board graphics. Still nothing.

Tried two monitors and several connectors (DP, HDMI, DVI) nothing works. Says display not detected.

Any help would be appreciated. I am going mad here

No, but yesterday while troubleshooting I had to hard shutdown few times since the display wasn't working. Even in that case my bios should show something like "volatage fluctuations cause computer to shutdown, please check settings in bios or something like that". right?

If the motherboard/CPU has died, you won't see anything upon start up. That is why I asked about power outages/storms earlier.

Have you tried manually resetting the motherboard BIOS (jumper or remove battery method)?

thanks a lot for the input. I will try to reset the BIOS (not sure how but will look at some YT videos). But I see all the LEDs on motherboard lightup and all components connected to it also light up.

is there a way to confirm that CPU is dead?

Swap with a known good one. This will help isolate whether the CPU or the motherboard.

Seems like Motherboard died. I tried my CPU on friends system, its working. I used his working CPU on my system its not working. But all the lights and fans are working isn't it a bit strange?

Not strange, per se. Just means it is getting power, but something on the motherboard has failed.
