Computer won't boot/post - Is it done? I'm out of ideas...
So the computer is about 2.5 years old (my own build - budget gaming computer). I'm pretty good at troubleshooting software/hardware issues (built my own comps for 20 years).
So I usually shut my computer off at night. I did last night, but I noticed in the morning it was still on. Nothing was happening, so I shut the computer off (had to use the back PS switch). Now the computer won't boot/post/beep anything. The computer does turn on, all the fans run, and I can hear the mechanical HDD's going, but nothing else. Unfortunately my only other computer is my HTPC (using it now), and it's micro-ATX in a very small enclosure which basically means I can't really test much (Power Supply in it is non-standard as well, plus I don't want to start messing around with it).
What I've done so far...
- Cleaning it out with compressed air (it was quite clean anyway)
- Tested monitor separately and it works fine
- Reset CMOS jumper and removed battery and tried powering on with those things reset/removed
- Only used 1 stick of RAM (I have 2)
- The CPU does not have an on-board GPU
Again, it powers on fine and fans all work just nothing else. The CPU and RAM were OC'd but have been for almost the entire time I've had the comp with no issues. I have never had this issue with this computer before, and I have not added any new hardware or software to the machine in months (pretty basic stuff on it).
And now, the computer turns on immediately when I switch the rear power switch on. Normally I obviously press the power button on the front. All the connections seem fine and the power button does not appear stuck.
Suggestions?
