Okay, so a couple of months ago, I packed my PC up to go into storage before moving house. During which, I opened it up to get rid of some dust since it had been a while since I last did so. At one point, I dropped a screw inside, and it even went underneath the motherboard... afterwhich I realized I had left the PSU on! I switched it off, and used a paper towel to clean dust off the CPU heatsink... and maybe a little off the PCB. Now, after 2 months in storage, I have reconnected my PC and I am getting no video output. I have tried both GPU outputs, I have tried the motherboard output with the discreet GPU plugged in and with the discreet GPU taken out. I can hear the HDD being accessed, so I know that at least some of the Motherboard and the CPU must be working. Has anyone heard of a similar problem? Does anyone have an idea what it might be? I think it's something around the northbridge of the motherboard, but I'm not sure. Sorry, specs are in my sig. EDIT: fixed. One of my RAM sticks had died. Didn't consider that possibility until somebody told me it happened to them.
Ha, was just about to say that ram would most likely be at fault if the pc is working otherwise, glad you got it sorted
