It happened after I went downstairs to eat and waited about 20 minutes. When I returned, my monitor, keyboard, and mouse stopped working even though the PC was still running. I thought it was just sleeping. I turned off the power by switching the PSU off. When I tried to restart, the PC wouldn’t turn on properly and kept cycling on and off. Changing the CMOS battery didn’t help. I also attempted to jump the M_BIO chip to reset the corrupted BIOS. I’m really tired of having this PC since I built it myself. I don’t have any money left because I already bought new GPUs. My setup includes a Gigabyte motherboard Z77P-D3, Gigabyte GTX 1060, 3GB RAM, and an I7-3770 processor.

Start by disconnecting all devices. Make sure nothing remains connected. Then test the Power Screen Keyboard—does it respond when you power it on?

I’ll likely test several options. Could you confirm if you have multiple RAM sticks? If yes, start with one and switch to the other. For a single stick, experiment with various slots.

I had done that earlier... I installed just one stick of the RAM, still in the DDR3-1 slot. It wasn't working properly once it powered on and kept restarting on and off.

Power off all external storage devices and then restart the system. Check if the screen shows any information.

This indicates we've focused our troubleshooting on the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and maybe the GPU. It's helpful that your CPU includes an integrated graphics unit—disconnect the graphics card and connect your monitor to a motherboard port to test.

The system is turning off the integrated graphics because it’s having trouble running properly.
