So my PC wouldn't come back from sleep mode (when the monitor just goes black but the fans are still spinning and the computer still makes noise etc.) no matter what keys I pressed, so I turned it off by holding down the power key, tried turning it back on, I only get the ASUS logo when switching the monitor on, but besides that, nothing. The LED on the monitor stays orange, even though it's supposed to turn blue when I turn on the computer.
- A few hours before this I changed the settings that the computer would never enter hibernate mode, but kept the setting to enter sleep mode after 10 minutes of idling.
- I tried replugging the cables, I was also suspicious of the video card so I took it out, put it back on, tried plugging the monitor's cable into the other DVI port on the video card, also tried plugging the monitor's cable into the motherboard's DVI slot, in an attempt to run it on the integrated Intel HD2500 graphics in case the video card died, but nothing would work.
- Also turning on/off the monitor itself, so basically every trivial stuff you could think of.
- Definitely wasn't caused by the GPU/CPU overheating, I bought a CPU cooler a few years back and it wouldn't go higher than 60 celsius degrees. My GPU is a Gigabyte GTX970 G1 so no problems with overheating there either.
- I've seen questions similiar to mine on different forums, but those people were able to access their computers once they restarted it, but I can't. Just a black screen and that's it. It's like the monitor doesn't get the message that the computer is turned on (the fans are spinning and there is noise)
I literally have no idea what to do now. My last guess is testing the monitor so I will be taking it to my friend to see whether it works with his computer. Or something could be wrong with the motherboard too.
Any ideas?
