My 6 year old gaming build was working perfectly until a couple of weeks ago. I'd left it on while I went into the other room, came back and it was on standby. I was able to bring it out of standby but there was no longer any display. I rebooted it and nothing. It powers up, the fans turn, the lights are on but no display.
I originally thought it was a graphics card issue, but I'm thinking otherwise. The components power up - fans come on, everything seems to run the way it usually would, however I don't have to hold down the power button to switch it off, only press it, which tells me that it isn't actually booting at all.
Things I have tried:
Specs:
Asus P8Z77-M PRO Motherboard
Intel Core I5-3570 Processor
Asus HD 7870 AMD Radeon Graphics Card
4x 4gb Corsair Vengeance DDR3 Memory
Corsair TX750V2 750W ATX/EPS 80 PLUS Bronze PSU

Things I have tried:
- Removed graphics card, tried HDMI in motherboard
- VGA cable instead of HDMI
- Reseated graphics card
- Checked everything was connected properly on motherboard
- Switched hard drive
- Reset CMOS (both jumper and battery method)
- Took out all but one RAM stick and alternated between them each attempt
