PC has been powered off, but the monitor is on; the mouse and keyboard are not functioning.
I'm trying to understand what's going on with my computer before I visit a repair shop. It stopped working suddenly while I was watching YouTube on my gaming PC. After turning it back on, nothing changed—no signal to the monitor, mouse, or keyboard. This happened last night and again recently. It had worked before but then restarted normally afterward.
I've done the following:
- Switched RAM slots
- Cleaned the RAM
- Shorted the two pins and removed the battery to reset CMOS
- Unplugged the reset plug and took out the graphics card to check
Nothing resolved the problem, and I'm unsure what to do next. I don't want to waste money on repairs if it can be fixed easily. Do you know of any other simple fixes I haven't mentioned? Your help would be really appreciated. I've shared my PC details below. Thanks!
remove the GPU and check if it works with igpu.
see if any fans spin up.
I removed the dGPU and attempted use with the iGPU but still no results, all fans are spinning too. I suspect the issue might be with the power supply unit, so I’m considering borrowing one from a friend tomorrow to test.
