So my wife's 4.5 yr. old pre-built PC wouldn't load Windows last week. The POST on boot showed no HDD. I got a SATA SSD and swapped them out.
Now, I can't see anything on boot. No POST information. Nothing. Can't get into the BIOS either. Just a black screen.
I have on board video and a graphics card. I used both and the card gives a "lit up" black screen, when mobo connection is jet black.
I popped out the CMOS battery, and same issue when putting it back.
I made sure all connections are firm.
I'm at an utter loss as to how this is happening when last week POST showed and I went into the BIOS. I did nothing but swap the drives.
Any ideas or am I buying a new PC?
