So I was playing a game when suddenly my screen became all white and my pc froze.

I tried to restart it after that, all the lights lit up and the fans started working but there is no input to my keyboard, mouse or monitor. (If I press the power button again it immediately turns off. I don't have to hold it, just pressing it once is enough)

I read some threads and I decided to check if the motherboard is fine, so I took out the ram out then started up the pc. I could hear some beeps so I guess the motherboard is alright. When I placed the ram cards back, I placed them into the other 2 slots because I heard that might help. But that wasn't the problem.

I also cleaned the pc from dust, I know that doesn't help much but know I know that it's probably not an overheating problem. (Or maybe the component it already fried.)

Do you have any idea how I could fix this problem?
 


I second this. If your mobo also has Dual BIOS available, switch to the secondary BIOS to see if there's a difference. Worse comes to worse, re-seat your CMOS battery.
 
Thanks for the feedback. I read the manual, but there is one little problem. I seem to be missing the cap, is there any other safe way to short it? (And no dual bios unfortunately)

Also, what do you mean by reseating the battery, just take it out and place it back? And will it achieve the same thing?
 
If you don't have the jumper cap to reset your CMOS, using a piece of conductive wire or metal to short the two pins should work just fine. Removing the CMOS battery will have the same effect, but it's only recommended if resetting the CMOS by the jumper method fails.
