Having some issues with my PC recently. It was crashing at random intervals. Only when gaming I think, however it wasn’t a resource heavy game (Farthest Frontier). When the PC crashed, the monitor went black but audio was still playing. I had to do a hard reset each time.
I decided to reinstall the GPU drivers & also reset BIOS to default settings. Neither resolved the problem.
The PC now won’t boot up. It powers on, but there is no signal to the monitor. There are no error beeps.
So far I have:
Reseated the RAM
Tried just one RAM stick
Reseated the graphics card
Removed graphics card and used onboard graphics instead
Tried a different monitor
Reset CMOS battery
Reset CMOS using the pins
Cleaned and reapplied thermal paste to CPU
Could the motherboard be faulty?
