Ok guys, I built a gaming rig less than a year ago and until just the other day, things were running just fine. First off, I was using a small hdmi tv as a monitor and I turned it on one day and It just wouldn't turn on. So day after that, I started using a crappy old dell monitor. So when I turned on my comp I kept getting 5 mobo beeps. I was like "whatever" because the thing still worked fine. Then while gaming, the screen was going black for like 2 seconds just randomly. So I restarted it, then my mobo splash screen didn't appear along with the hit f2 for boot options etc. so now I'm like wth.... THEN I got the idea to reset my CMOS by removing the battery from my mobo. After putting that back in, the screen won't turn on at all. The HD spins up and everything sounds fine but still just black screen.
If someone could help me out a lil here that would be awesome. Or maybe even give some instructions on how to narrow down any hardware issues.
These are my specs:
Amd fx-4100 zambiez quad core 3.60 Ghz
Rosewill Capstone 650w PSU
250gb WD HDD 16Mb cache 7200rpm
1tb WD HDD
64mb cach
7200 rpm
ASRock 970 Extreme3 AM3+ mobo
Ripjaws 2x4gb ram
Thanks for any advice!
