Hi,
I was recently given a PC to look at as it wasn't booting up.
Off the top of my head I'm unsure of the spec but have read a number of articles on here that give a list of things to try.
I've disconnected everything from the motherboard, tried taking battery out for a number of hours to reset BIOS, removed RAM etc but still had no luck.
When I switch the system on, the PSU fan starts up and distributes power. Graphics card lights up and fan comes on, motherboard fan comes on but nothing comes up on screen and there are no beeps.
Finally I removed the graphics card which resulted in 3 short beeps.
Do you think it's worth replacing the graphics card?
Any help is appreciated
