My son just returned from holiday and powered up his gaming pc. It powers up ok but no signal to the monitors, keyboard or mouse. The fans work, the storage hard drive is spinning, dvd drive has power, graphics card has power lights on and when an additional external device is plugged in then it gets power from the same port that the keyboard or mouse is plugged into. Picture attached of system with power on.
The monitors work with another computer, as do the keyboard and mouse. No visible damage to the motherboard. Worked fine before the holiday but not on return. Was left plugged in.
Have tried disconnecting everything, power drain, removed ram and retry with one slot filled each time.
Windows 10. I can post the full build but was wondering what the trouble shooting order for this kind of problem should be?
We built the pc a couple of years ago. Running with no problems. No software changes prior to going on holiday and was working fine. Neither of us are super experienced with tech troubleshooting but not afraid to get stuck in. I actually enjoy it, my boy just wants to play some games.
No library of spares hanging around, so I wanted to start with the most likely stuff first.
Searching online points to PSU, CPU and ram as places to start. Any recommendations as to the order?
Any suggestions most appreciated.
