Been a long time I havent been able to sort a PC problem myself but I'm stumped and at my wits end with this damn PC.
Yesterday I installed windows 10, fresh install then activated it. No issues whatsoever for a few hours. Then something funny happened when I had to restart (installations etc)... You know when an overclock fails and your pc fails to reach bios and the restarts and so forth. I couldnt get it to start up, one or two restarts later and she fires up running fine again. To be sure id get a clean startup next time I set my bios settings to default as I had my RAM clocked.
Now as standard windows has always put PCs into sleep mode or something if you havent changed it in the settings. My PC is generally on 24/7, but i hadnt changed that setting on windows so when I climbed into bed about 20 minutes later the pc shuts down. No worries I knew I hadnt changed that setting, but I knew I'd have a damn nightmare starting it up in the morning because of the previous funny booting issue, and I was right.
I pretty much have a dead pc, she boots up fine but I get no signal to the monitors at all. Ive tried resetting the bios, reseating the card, spamming DEL on startup to try and get into the bios all to no avail. The keyboard and mouse light up but no joy. I even left it 5 minutes or so to see if id hear the windows start up through my speakers but nothing. I literally get no signal at all.
I havent got a spare card to check if it is the graphics card (i highly doubt it) but ill test it in a friends pc when i get a chance. I cant use onboard because the chip is a 3930k.
Something to note: it is definitely not getting to Windows. I know this because the pc shuts off immediately as i press the button, I dont have to hold it. I tried to see if removing my second hard drive would work and nope. I also tried spamming f12 for boot option then down and enter and nope.
Clueless and infuriated at the moment. Microsoft what the eff...
