Hey All,
Apologies likely repeating a question asked a million times, had a look through the stickied guide and nothing worked.
My PC has been running fine for approx 3 years, a couple of days ago my PC booted normally and then randomly shut down before I could do anything with it. It restarted immediately and loaded for approximately 30 seconds before restarting again, it continued to do this multiple times remaining booted for anywhere between 30 seconds - 10 minutes. During one of the longer times it stayed working, the CPU temp would sit between 40-60 degrees (got close to 60 after multiple boot/fail attempts).
After about 10 or so times of this happening the video output has completely died. I get no POST/BIOS and no signs of life through video output. My GPU fans don't start but the RGB power on the side starts fine and the error light remains unlit. The case, CPU and PSU fans all run and appear to be working normally. I've tried booting with 1 stick of RAM in, alternating each one and no change. I've got the mobo speaker installed and I'm getting no sounds at all coming from it, no troubleshooting LEDs/lights on the board, unfortunately. Also I've tried booting without the GPU installed and using onboard graphics and no response/no signs of anything on the monitor. I also know the monitor/cables work as I've plugged them into a laptop and can dupe the screen from the laptop onto screen.
Unfortunately, I've got no access to a different PSU/GPU to test them, but from the above description and below specs, are there any likely culprits? I had been thinking GPU, PSU or motherboard being the likely candidates but with the PSU fans running as per normal I was thinking maybe motherboard/GPU?
