Hello, I've been using this PC for nearly a year and a half. About three weeks ago, after cleaning it with an air compressor, I decided to repaste the CPU. At first, the machine wouldn't power on, but once everything was back in place it started but wouldn't turn off. I didn’t have time to figure it out myself, so I took it to a repair service in South Africa. They suggested a power surge or blackouts might be the cause, noting that my RAM and HDD failed, while my SSD got corrupted. They also mentioned that with certain graphics cards, the PC would POST but my graphics worked fine on other systems. When I brought in my old graphics card, everything functioned properly. I replaced the RAM and sent the GPU for a warranty claim. After testing on various PCs, they said nothing was wrong with the GPU and sent it back. My reasoning was that it couldn’t be the motherboard or CPU (since they worked with other GPUs), nor could it be the RAM (just new) or the GPU itself. I then replaced the power supply and tried again, but it still didn’t work. I also used my old motherboard, but it wouldn’t POST either—possibly due to age or faults. The BIOS beep was a short tone, and the system only displayed VGA. Recently, I moved my components into a new case with a BIOS beep, but it still didn’t boot. I’ve also tried using an older motherboard and a different PSU, but nothing changed. I’m currently running Kubuntu 22.04 with Windows 10 22H2, and the issues began then. What I’ve done so far: re-seated everything, double-checked cables, booted with just the MOBO, CPU, GPU, and one RAM stick, cleared CMOS, tried all RAM options, new PSU, new RAM, different cases, new monitor, updated PSU power cords, HDMI cable, DVI instead of HDMI, BIOS updates. The beep was a single short tone, and the BIOS version was 6024. I just finished updating to 6202, but it didn’t help. I’m still using the system with a 750ti and want to finish my exams soon. Thanks for your time, Edited August 8, 2023 by Donny.

Check if your motherboard supports integrated graphics and verify the GPU detection. Remove the GPU via Device Manager, then download and install the appropriate driver manually. Consider starting in Safe Mode to rule out background issues. If frequent power cuts occur, investing in a UPS could be beneficial for surge protection and saving work.
