GPU and CPU fans activate yet the screen remains inactive.
Prepared a setup about a week prior that activated without showing anything. Suspected power supply failure since no screen appeared. Tested on friends' PSUs still yielded no output; fans ran but no visuals. Confirmed GPU isn't the issue—both 1650 and 3050 models were used. Possible CPU or motherboard problem. Open for suggestions. Current specs: Intel i5 4570, M.2 1650 GPU, 2x 8GB DDR3 at 1866 MHz, 500W EVGA PSU. Updated January 20, 2025 by Collab hibes. Specs note.
Here’s a polished version with a complete specification list included.
