So I've had this computer for over a year and this is the first time it's really had any problems.
Starting today, the computer would randomly turn of and then reboot a few seconds later. This mainly happened when I was playing video games, but did it a few times while trying to start itself back up, and while sitting at idle.
After it had done it a few times, I unplugged the monitors and keyboards and such to open it up and dust it out (Which it definitely needed, there was quite a bit of dust). So I sprayed it out with an air can.
But when I went to go start it again with my monitors plugged back in, the monitors seemed as they were being detected, but no image was showing up. I looked online for some advice. I ended up unplugging all external devices again, unplugging the HDD and leaving just the SSD plugged, and clearing the CMOS. Nothing changed, so I tried unplugging the RAM, and plugging one back in furthest away from the CPU, and then the computer would just not power at all.
At this point I have unplugged everything from the motherboard except for the Graphics card, as it was a tight fit going in and I'd rather take it out only if necessary cause it's probably going to be a pain to get back out.
I'm going to continue to try some things, and I will update here if I do, but if anyone could give me advice that would be awesome. I just really hope I don't have a dead part.
