My computer seems to have given up. Left it over night and this morning opened it to see for dust, looked clean and i didnt touch anything. Turned it on, uh oh, No Signal Detected on monitor and theres no beeps at all. The monitor actually stays off (orange), it gives me no signal when i turn it off and then on, then it turns off.
I tested the monitor on (this) laptop and it runs fine, so that aint the problem. The fan in the Graphics card is running so that seems to be working.
Strange theres no beeps tho. The comp is fairly basic P4 630 Processor. 1gb Crucial Mem, nVidia 6500, Gigabyte MB (GA-8q945P-G-RH), 330w
PSU.
Dont see whats wrong (apart from the lack of beeps and picture).
I recently tried reseating the
RAM thinking it could be the problem, however the computer now refuses to even turn on!! The on button does nothing. (When reseating the
RAM i was told to drain residual power, something i havnt done before; could this affect anything)?
Seems to look more and more like a motherboard problem .
