The computer starts but shows nothing on the screen.
I've searched online but found no useful results. Your PC seemed to function normally until yesterday when it stopped turning on. It powers up, but your mouse and keyboard only blink on and off. I've tried reseating RAM, checking PSU cables, removing and reinserting CMOS, swapping the GPU, taking out the CPU, and even putting it back in, but nothing worked. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Did you remove the CMOS battery as well? Also make sure your PC is disconnected from the power source. It seems the graphics card might be the issue. If not done already, take the card out completely and reinsert it, then connect the monitor cable again.
Does your system include built-in graphics? If yes, detach the graphics card and link your screen to the motherboard's rear panel. If the display functions correctly then: It seems your GT 710 might be malfunctioning—perhaps the PCI-Express X16 port is faulty or there’s another issue. At least this gives us a direction to investigate.
I don’t have a DVI to HDMI or DVI to VGA conversion file to test. I haven’t upgraded in a while, though I planned to soon. I’m a bit nervous about building my own PC, but maybe after this I’ll just buy a ready-made one.
