I do not know. How do I check the version when the monitor is showing only blank?
I cannot get into the BIOS, no sight at all. At the start, gpu runs for like 5 or 10 seconds and then the fan stop. Is my SSD dead?The airflow should go toward the I/O shield, or the back of the case. Can you get into the BIOS?
What did you do to try to get into the BIOS? Typically, hitting the 'Delete' key repeatedly immediately after hitting the power switch does the trick.I cannot get into the BIOS, no sight at all. At the start, gpu runs for like 5 or 10 seconds and then the fan stop. Is my SSD dead?
I tried it, same with my vga monitor or my dpi monitor or my hdmi tv, they all blank no asus logo or anything.What did you do to try to get into the BIOS? Typically, hitting the 'Delete' key repeatedly immediately after hitting the power switch does the trick.

Remove the ssd and try again to see if you can get into the bios. One other thing you can try is to remove the battery so that the BIOS resets. But this seems more like a PSU problem
I tried without SSD, blank from the start.If you haven't updated the bios before, you can check the rev number on the motherboard, it should be printed on there.
It's either your motherboard, usb drives, CD/DVD, PSU, CPU, GPU. Basically it could be anything.
Or most likely the ssd? Has it been in use before or is it brand new?
It could be the PSU yeah. Especially if you often have blackouts, your PSU could be damaged from power surges that often accompanies an outage. But then so could your SSD, motherboard, basically all other components.
But there really isn't a solid way to know until you have trouble shooted all parts.
I would just try the basics,
Try with only the psu connected.
Single channel ram stick in the different DIMM slots.
Remove the SSD/HDD, and try different SATA ports.
Remount CPU.
Move the GPU to another Pcie and try different outputs. Try without the adapter.
Reflash the bios via flashback (If possible)
CMOS clear.
then go on to swapping out parts.
Buy with that old system, if you go that route. A complete upgrade would be better (minus the gpu for now)
I tried. I found that the GPU temperature is hot (not really hot but just hot, considering it's doing nothing) even my GPU fans are not running and the screen is blank, brand led is light up. Is this normal? Is it because the CPU heatsink above it?My guess is either the motherboard or the PSU. Can you borrow a PSU and try it? You can likely find a Z97 motherboard on Ebay.
It's all working now? It was a cable issue?
