PC not turning on, usb peripherals flashing on and off.

[brucebrucebruce]

Hey guys, my computer has been having a lot of problems with crashing lately. I'll get blue screen crashes like 2-3x a week, and a crash where my main monitor will show nothing, and the secondary monitor will flash on and off quickly. Now after restarting my computer, it is stuck trying to turn on, with the computer on with all fans running, but no display, and the usb devices turning on for about 3 seconds, then off for 5. Any idea what's going on? It's been doing this for a bit, but I haven't had time to try to figure out the problem, and usually it will eventually turn itself back on, while now it's been stuck in this boot loop overnight. Thanks for any help.

i think your GPU has been broken... do you have another pc in your house? so yes, try taking that videocard and try to put it in your pc. if it boots normally your GPU is broken. if it also don't boot then just say then we will look for the problem

Yeah, I was worried about that possibility, hoping it was just the motherboard or something else less expensive. My friend lives close to me and has a GPU I could borrow, but he's away for the weekend, so I'll try that out when he gets back. I hadn't thought to test it like that, thanks for the idea.

no problem, i hope you find the solution. IF you find the solution post it! maybe someone else can imagine the problem at his pc, and solve.

Good luck testing!
