Hey thanks for reading this thread! I spent two years turning my PC off every single night. When I finally got home, trying to turn it on made three loud beeps pop out. I went online and found some threads saying the problem might be the GPU or the RAM, so I did some cleaning. It stopped working completely now. All I see is fans spinning fast with nothing showing up on my screen.

I already tried: wiping down the RAM with an eraser and cleaning the slots in the motherboard. I did the same thing for the graphics card. I took out one stick of RAM at a time. I even put the GPU into a different slot labeled "PCI Express." I tried it without any RAM sticks attached. I took the CMOS battery out and let it sit for seven minutes. I checked all my cables and made sure they were plugged back in properly.

I don't have much money, so if this is something really broken, I'm pretty sorry.
My build details are:
- Motherboard: Asus Z77
- CPU: Intel i7-3770k with liquid metal cooling
- Graphics card: AMD Radeon 570 with 8GB of RAM
- Memory: 16GB total (four sticks, each with 4GB)
- Power supply: Corsair VS550
- Storage: 500GB Samsung Evo SSD plus two other hard drives (1TB and 2TB)
- Case: Corsair 5000D

Thanks again for your time! Have a nice day 😀
