PC not booting correctly (Fatal1ty Z77 error code b2)

[Neborelas]

Hi so i today i was gaming on my pc and then i had to leave so i put my pc on sleeping mode and then i went to the bathroom real quick and when i came back my screen was white with stripes and wouldn't do anything so i forced it to turn off.
and now when i turn my pc on i don't get any signal on my screen or keyboard or anything.
So i took off the side panel to check it out and my motherboard gives me error code b2.
it's a ASRock Fatal1ty Z77 Professional-M and i have an AMD Sapphire R9 280X.

i bought this pc from someone else and i'm kind of a noob in all this, i only know the name of every component in a pc but that's about as far as my knowledge goes. so yeah go easy on me please

Hi, Try removing the graphics card and connecting the monitor to the motherboard. See if working.

yes, it's working

Then it looks like a card issue. Try testing it in a friend's PC.

Thanks for your reply, but we dont know how or what rma-ing is. Could you help us out?

You're welcome.
If under warranty, contacting the retailer and returning it, for replacement.

well shit. the guy who i bought it from didn't give me a receipt of the gpu nor the box. and i've lost his contact info so i can't ask him if he still has it. is there really nothing else i can do?

Since not working in 2 different PCs... Try at a local PC repair shop. See what they say.
