Out of sudden my PC stopped displaying image. I mean It is working and monitor is working, but it doesn't show anything! Could there be something wrong with my graphics card? like an overheating issue? How can i determine what is wrong?

recently I've upgraded to an SSD and added another 4gb of ram, and it was working just fine.

As to now... it is working I mean it sounds like it is... the CPU fan is working in hight speed it used to work loud at booting but then after a few seconds quiet down, now it is working loud all the time. On the screen nothing happends, it says "no signal" hence I thought that there might be a GPU issue... I'm no professional, just on the other side... I have basic knowledge about PC... even tho I helped building this PC and upgraded it myself I have no experience with them...

does your motherboard/processor have onboard graphics. you could use this to check if the PC is working or not.

i had a similar problem to this and it turned out that my PC had decided that it didnt need a VGA driver any more and threw it out. a quick update of the driver (with the graphics card disconnected) solved it

erm... I wouldn't know... I've uploaded my spec in the previous post

overclocking?!

alterna88 · 11 Dec 2011 at 23:35

not really... other than the order of booting... I mean priority settings I haven't touche anything at all

alterna88 · 11 Dec 2011 at 23:48

ok I'll try that...
order of booting is to my SSD

alterna88 · 11 Dec 2011 at 23:50

nope the other port isn't working either =(

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 00:00

???? So I should take out the GPU???

Are there any beeps you can hear? Were there any beeps in the first place?

nope, no beeps. It sounds just fine as working... the problem is that there is no image,

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 10:41

is there no other way to test the GPU??

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 10:56

I also read that this Motherboard doest have onboard graphics =(

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:06

The GPU fan is spinning. The cables are plugged in tight.

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:16

I had dual monitor set up, both of them I've checked with my laptop, both work just fine. I a friend here in London who could either lend me a GPU or anything. =(

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 11:47

I've pulled out new Ram that I've installed and run the system. Still no beeps and no image on the screen.

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:09

to be honest I don't ever remember it beeping ever since my friend built it... This is odd

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 12:15

can this happen because the CPU fan was installed the wrong way? I remember my friend rut it the other way around... I've asked him if that is ok, since he made a mistake according to the diagram, but he said it doesn't matter. But I figure the airflow is different. I was also advised to start pulling out components to see what is wrong. Should I do it? If yes what should I pull out first?

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 13:04

By the looks of the cables they are fine... I mean how the pins can be damaged while being plugged into the PC? It just suddenly stopped showing the image while working.

So the beep should come out of the speaker... well the speaker is plugged into the green input and there is no beep. So next I should unplug CD/DVD, SSD, and HDD? And GPU? right?

If everything is running how can PSU be failing? I mean it sounds like it is starting up but nothing is showing.

How is your CPU fan installed the wrong way, just the direction it blows in?

Yeah, the direction is wrong

T_T Guys I'm a newbie in Hardware building.... I was shaking when I was upgrading it and all I did was plugged in new Ram and SSD... I donno where is what on the motherboard T_T... I'm totally useless here... is there a video tutorial or smth?

alterna88 · 12 Dec 2011 at 20:31

well, I've unplugged the DVD, HDD and SSD, and unplugged GPU there was no beep, no system beep, no beep through the speaker... I take it this is odd right?
