Hey guys so I hope one of you can help me. About 5 months back I put my pc into sleep mode to do the dishes(fun right) and when I got back the monitor was still in standby mode and it wouldnt come back on again. So I decided to reboot obviously and since then, fans spin up case lighting everything is good except no video.

The pc was my dads pc and I know the hardware is a bit old but the specs are as follows.
New Rm750x corsair psu
Intel DH67BL mobo
I5 2500 cpu
8 GB 1333 mhz kingston valueram(new)
MSI GT 440 1GB ddr3 gpu
Windows 10 home 64 bit (bought new)

As you can see I am in the process of upgrading the pc so I already replaced the old psu,ram and tried another motherboard. The monitor works (checked with ps3). I tried swithing to onboard display, resetting cmos,tried standard config bios through bios jumper. I also have a coolermaster strom enforcer. Before that my dad and I made the mistake of buying a Tesseract case as it looked decent and did not cost an arm and a leg. I built everything in there and as soon as I switched it on it would go off again. We concluded the case was making a short that was what caused it to switch off. So that is when I returned the case and bought the cm storm.

I tried to take the pc in to an shop but it will cost R550 (about $50) just to check what is wrong and I cant afford that.
Any thoughts please.

Thank you
 
Hi,

I have seen this issue on a few occasions and cmos always seem to do the trick.
Can you try pulling out the power > taking out the cmos > holding the power button for 30 seconds to drain capacitors > plug everything back in? Can you also try the same without the cmos in at all
 


Hi
I tried it with the cmos inserted but can't remember if I tried it without the cmos. When I get home I will try it thanks I really hope it works!.
 


Hi I am very sorry for the delay but I have checked and tried, it does not work. An IT guy at my dad's work said it is my bios but I don't know how hard he searched, so I changed the mobo again but no luck.
I forgot to mention the keyboard does not respond. No caps or num lights.
Next step or thoughts?

Thanks for any help
 
Just to update everyone, I will be replacing my motherboard,Processor and RAM. The IT guy (at my dad's work) tested my CPU and motherboard and both were fried so I will be getting:
Gigabvte GAZ97X Gaming 5
i5 4690K
8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM.
All for just R5000 about $361. All the parts are brand new and he will install the parts. As he will be doing the assembling I will get a warranty from his and obviously the individual warranties of the parts.

These parts will go into my CM storm Enforcer case-NOT THAT CHEAP TESSERRACT THAT FRIED EVERYTHING- done venting :)
I will update this thread as soon as my PC is working so we can put it to sleep for good.

Thanks for everyone's help.
 


XXXXXXDDDDDDDDDDDDD Thank you for bringing that to my attention! LOL
 
Okay, i finally have my PC up and running again. New mobo,cpu and RAM. The problem was that cheap chassis I had.
Thank all of you for your help.
SOLUTION: DO NOT BUY CHEAP CASES-RATHER SAVE AND BUY A GOOD QUALITY ONE OR ELSE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO REPLACE YOUR WHOLE SYSTEM
