Hi, I recently had an issue with my computer. It doesn’t turn on. When I power on, all the fans start to work, there is the green light on the motherboard but the screen stays black.

I opened the tower and

So far, I tried to unplug the screen cable from the graphic card and connect to it to the motherboard directly, didn’t help.

Then I disconnected the system SSD to see if it opens the motherboard menu.

What else should I do? Should I try to replace the motherboard or it could be something else? The computer worked for a long time with no issues.
 
I’m sorry I didn’t reply I left doing anything with this computer for a while because I bought a laptop. However, I still would like to fix it now when I have more time.

The tests I have done are those:

Changed monitors, connected the SSD to another PC (it of course didn’t load the system but it opened Windows repair screen at least), changed the graphics card. I changed the Motherboard mattery too. Basically, removed all that was possible to remove except CPU, PSU and RAM. I believe that if none of that helped, I can try to change the motherboard but I need to buy. Could you recommend me a motherboard that will work with the existing components that are listed below?

Asus HD 7770 GHz TOP 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Intel Core i3-3220 3.30GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W)

XFX Pro 450W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply

TeamGroup Elite 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TED38GM1600HC11DC01)

Asus P8H61-MX USB3 Motherboard -the part to replace.
