Hello! I'm having a very common problem here: When I turn on my computer, the fans and everything spin up, but my monitor doesn't recieve any signal, not by VGA or HDMI.

I have read up on this, and tried a few different things, so these we can check off the list:
- Flashing BIOS/ Taking out the battery of the motherboard
- Re-insert RAM/ Try with only one stick
- Checked out the CPU cables and all of that.

This problem is one tiny bit different from the other people's problem here, my PC has been running strong for one and a half years, it is NOT a new build, no new components either.

I have tried removing the RAM, GPU, CPU and the CPU-cooler, then re-inserting all of them. Did not help.

A couple of days ago, my CPU-fan seemed to malfunction, and my CPU got awfully hot, and crashed. The PC has been running fine for a few days after this, but I'm thinking the CPU might be toast, could that be it?

*NOTE* I have read and tried everything the sticky-thread about this problem says.

I'm pretty sure it would be neither of these, seeing as the GPU and PSU worked fine yesterday, and the GPU-power lights are on. Even if this was the problem, I unfortunately don't.

Thanks for the reply though!
