Hi guys, I'll get straight to it.

I've been getting random crashes and bsod for a while now, over a year. I replaced the psu, cpu, gpu and motherboard. Still had the bsod since replacing all that. Earlier on today I bought a new hdd and when I replaced that my pc wouldn't boot at all, no image on screen and no beep. All my fans are spinning. I've reseated everything. I've tried switching my ram around and using just 1 stick at a time but still nothing. I'm totally stumped for ideas now, any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

This appears to be faulty RAM.

(most manufactures will exchange for free)

also, check on a few things.
is your PSU powerful enough for your GPU?
Power connected to GPU and CPU?
Resetting BIOS sometimes helps too. (most motherboards have a reset button)

All the components have been working fine until earlier on when I replaced my hdd. I'm going to try test some working ram on it soon. I don't see a button on my motherboard, I have a gigabyte ga-m68mt-s2. Thanks :)

That's interesting, definitely sounds like something isn't quite getting power? Is your HDD connected to the PSU properly? I would try a different connector from the PSU if possible and re-seat all connections inside.

Yeah, I've tried 3 different wires from motherboard to hdd and 5 different connectors from psu to hdd. Also, I think I should mention that when I power on my gpu fan sounds like it's on full power, when my pc worked it was never anywhere near as loud as it is now.

A lot of computers are set up so that the fans will kick in just to test power. You could check the source, try plugging the computer itself into another power outlet. If you can, try the HDD in another computer, something else does seem like it is failing for you though.

Tried a different power outlet, still the same result. I'm going to take the pc to my uncle's (he's a computer genius haha). I'll post a solution if he manages to fix it tomorrow for any others who might have this problem. Thanks for your help guys, much appreciated!
