So got home from work today, was looking forward to playing some Borderlands the Pre-sequel, but it seems my PC is refusing to display anything on my monitor :(

First I tried both a VGA and a HDMI plugged directly into the ports on my motherboard, rather than my GPU... No joy.

Next i tried a different monitor, which didnt work either.

Tried taking my GPU out entirely, still couldnt get anything to display.

I removed the CMOS battery for well over a minute, and it worked for one boot. But it now refusing to work again, i have tried removing the battery and replacing it again several times now and its not making any difference.

Anyone have any ideas what may be causing this, and how i can fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Jack

1. New CMOS battery.
2. Do you hear/see the fans moving?
3. Does your motherboard have any LEDs on it? If so, are they on?
4. Disconnect PSU from motherboard, including any molex, PCI-E, and CPU connectors.
5. Hold the power button down for 2 full minutes.
6. Reconnect everything.
7. Try again.
