Today my computer turned off unexpectedly like as if it experienced a power cut - just turned straight off, I then turned it back on and no display was on my screen, I tried swapping HDMI cables but that didn't work and now when I start it back up it has a long beep followed by a short one. Does anyone have any ideas in how to fix this?

Thanks

It sounds like the PSU is done.
Check all of your power connectors for any burnt, or if you can smell anything.
Unplug everything besides CPU and ATX power connectors and try to boot.
Swap a different PSU in there to test, grab one from a local electronic store if there is none.

Thanks for the responses, is there a video how I can check both of those? I'm pretty sure there's no burnt cables but it was quite dusty could that be part of the problem?

Thanks

Do what swilczak said.

Dust could be an issue, it does not only limit the heat exhaust from the GPU or motherboard, it also has the potential to short out components. Therefore I recommend that you clean your PC out very thoroughly, and check burnt mark by smelling the PSU and check on all the power ports on the motherboard for black/brown marks.
