Hey appreciate the help,

So my computer randomly stopped displaying to the monitor the other night so presumed the Graphics card was dead. Replaced and still did not work.
Next presumed the PSU so replaces and still does not work.

All the fans come on I just get nothing to the screen tried to different screens and still does not work.

Disconnected everything apart from GPU and after 5 mins I got the message no HDD inserted at the top, So I then plugged in the HDD and then again nothing happened. So I then unplugged the HDD and again nothing happened.

I have troubleshooted as much as I can without an expert, Has anyone got any ideas?

It would be a good idea if you had a spare rig to test your PSU and GPU to see if they are working properly

You could try resetting BIOS settings to default or load the last known good configuration in Windows

You could also have a go at clearing the CMOS, either by removing the CMOS battery for 15 minutes then placing it back or if you have a CMOS jumper, you can use that to clear the CMOS

If you had a spare rig you could run some tests on the HDD (HDDscan) and/or memory sticks (memtest) in your faulty rig

Another guess would be your...

Do you have all the correct power connectors to the video card? Please post the brand and model of your hardware as it is just shooting blind to continue guessing. Check to see that the video card in properly seated all the way down and locked into the correct slot.

Hey everyone, Got another issue now. Put in my mates spare psu and got power to the screen. Now when I log in to windows it powers off between 2-15 mins after logging in.

I had a look in the bios to see if I could see anything and noticed it didn't seem to be switching itself off.

Another guess would be your motherboard, replacing that could be a last resort

Might as well exhaust every single option to see what's going wrong
