Looking for some help - my 11 year old son saved up his money, figured out what he needed and got all the parts for his first PC build. Put everything together and it worked! For a couple days, then two days ago it stopped putting out video to the monitor and the power button only works to turn on the PC, not to power it down. Fans and led lights on the fans are all working. Have reseated the graphics card, RAM, bios battery, checked monitor and hdmi cable. And now we are stuck and don’t know what else to do.
I’ve never built a PC, and want to make this a good experience for him - any advice for what to try next? The parts are all new and we could return them if it’s the graphics card or the PSU.
Here are the specs:
- crucial ballistix 300 MHz DDR4 DRAM desktop gaming memory 16 go cl15
-gigabyte geforce gtx 1050ti KC 4g graphics card
