I checked over 30 forums but couldn't find a solution. Could you provide more details?

I reset my PC to factory settings and accidentally shut it down. After attempting a drive repair in startup recovery for an hour, I opened Command Prompt and pressed exit. The screen turned blue and remained static. I powered off and back on the machine, but all fans continued spinning while the monitor stayed dark. I tried numerous fixes—clearing CMOS, swapping RAM slots, using a different GPU, ensuring connections were tight, reseating the 24-pin connector, unplugging HDDs, and even booting without RAM. Still, the issue persisted: spinning fans and no display signal. I checked forums extensively, read comments from at least twenty discussions, but nothing resolved it. My PC had been working smoothly for weeks before this problem appeared. I also removed the PCIe cables, but fans kept spinning, indicating a possible motherboard or CPU fault. I’m not sure if I removed the CPU, and my system ran fine before. Since I don’t have integrated graphics (R7 2700X), I’m open to any advice, even unlikely ones. Thank you for your help!

Can you even access the BIOS? Have you attempted disconnecting all components except the necessary ones? (Required items are: CPU, motherboard, 1 stick of RAM, graphics card, power supply)

I can't access the BIOS. I did get it, but I used a stick of RAM without any storage, and only the screen and keyboard were connected to my motherboard.

Check if you have another machine, then install the Windows media creation utility on a USB drive and attempt to start from it. Alternatively, you can use a free live Linux USB for testing.

I've attempted to start from a USB using the Windows Media Creation Tool. I believe the issue might be hardware-related now rather than software.

Just to confirm—have you already unplugged your GPU and used the built-in display from your CPU? Or do you not have an integrated graphics card? Also, could you share your complete system details?

Running on an R7 2700X with 16GB RAM, a RX 580 8GB, Apevia 600w power supply, 120GB Kingston A400, a 1TB SSD, an ASRock B450m HDV R4.0, and a NZXT H510 black-and-white case (case isn't important)

I've used another GPU that doesn't require PCIe power cables as well.

It seems you're curious about R7 and older AMD graphics cards. Have you experimented with a new monitor or cable?

It means the computer restarts its main system settings or reinitializes its operating environment, often to fix issues or restore default configurations.
