PC starts up however it fails to boot properly.
My PC powers up, shows energy, power LED and HD are active, fans run, but nothing appears. Just a black screen with no signal. Occasionally it crashes into a BSOD and restarts, but after a short beep it restarts normally again, with power still on. The monitor stays off. My CPU is quite old, around 12 years for gaming use. I’m unsure what’s causing this issue and just need clarity to find a solution. Thanks in advance!
