Stormar · 16 Jul 2015 at 17:35

Hi guys well today while gaming my pc decided to pack up on me, spent the afternoon trying different things and have now given up on it as it could be anything from gpu motherboard/chip just red lights on mb now and no signal detected

..so have decided to build a new pc but I'm out of date on what's about so could do with some help please so I get the right match with components

Looking for it as a gaming pc and want a good 980ti sound card mb cpu will keep my psu as it's not that old 850 corsair also looking for a corsair cooler and want to downgrade from a full tower case as i have a 800d and it's just to big now,something with good cooling and dust filters if poss as well..many thanks

It's not that old m8 and everything fires up all fans just no signal on monitor red cpu led on gpu lights on and fans spinning I suspect it's my mb. .but I'm no expert on trouble shooting. .All that happen was gaming and all of a sudden fans sped up in case for about 5 sec then black screen tried reboot and I did get a green screen with artifacts .tried a reboot again and there is nothing now.

Hi Lee thanks for the updates ☺I went with the 2ssds because 1 was for windows etc and the other for my games. .but I like the ram and power supply was just something extra just picked one ☺

Ok I just watched the YouTube video on how to test psu with the paper clip. .psu powers on and case fans spin but the psu fan is not spinning is that right? As in the video the psu fan spinned on start up .have got 5 fans running and still not spinning. The psu is a corsair hx850.

Ah right I thought that might be why but just wanted to check before I rushed out and got a new one. Guess it's something else so that goes my idea of a cheapish fix. .Thanks for posting.

I have reset cmos done jumper and took battery out ,reseated gpu removed ram and removed all cables and checked, them ,bios was upto date it was quite a old mb asus pro 67 running a i5 2500k ,can't do anything else really as have no spares ,I am suspecting it is mb with the cpu red light on,get no beeps on start up it doesn't seem to go into the check on start up I can't check much else as no signal to monitor so no idea now,got to figure out how I can get Windows off the sdd so I can reactivate it in the new build,when I get it next week, them in use that to test my old parts that I can sell on to get a bit of money back hopefully. Thanks for your help tho ☺

No not tried doing that with the cpu but I just get a new mb and chip spent 2 days on it as it is just want a pc back up boring without 1 lol..can you do that with a ssd just stick it in another build? Thought it wouldn't boot it with it being different hardware but be great if I can get it to wipe ☺
