Screen blank after unsuccessful overclock attempt
Screen blank after unsuccessful overclock attempt
My heat sink, RAM, and graphics card are all getting warm, but I'm not sure if that indicates they're functioning properly or not.
Ah, don't be too hard. I've been there myself. Most of my knowledge has come from this forum, and wanting to learn about this stuff. I'm an enthusiast rather than an expert. I was the same. Made lots of mistakes. The good thing though is, most of these mistakes are easily fixed. They just don't seem like they are initially.
Hmm, it's possible it's now a PSU issue. Hard to tell. There is some power going to the system as the fans spin up. But that doesn't tell us much. The only real way to check if it's the PSU is to swap it for another (but something you know is good, and rated for your system. A decent 550w PSU). Alternatively you can bring the system to a repair store and get them to swap the PSU. Maybe a friend has one you can borrow? Sadly with HW diagnosis, it's often a time consuming, or annoyance to get it fixed.
With a 'sketchy' PSU you run the risk of something like this happening. Where the PC just won't power up. Its hard to tell exaclty what your issue is. Can you link the PSU make/model. There will be a sticker on the side that will tell you exactly.
