Hey all,
My friend and I are stumped. Recently did a windows update when shutting down. No dramas there.
Turned the computer back on a few days later and it did its update when booting up as per usual. It restarted by itself and sounded an unfamiliar pattern on beeps and then.. Nothing, nothing on the screen.
Powered it off by holding the power button for 4 secs. Powered it back on and booted in safe mode and did a did a system restore to a date before the aforementioned windows update. It did its thing and when it restarted, the bios screen displayed big white boxes in place of where the asus logo and graphic was. Definitely something wrong there. It got stuck on this screen and I can't do diddly duck. Can't even ctrl alt dlt.
I then bought a new 650W cooler master psu to replace the existing Chinese branded 430W PSU. Additionally I got a Samsung SSD. Hooked both new parts up. Powered the computer on and nothing on the screen and no start up beeps.
Already tried everything from using the old PSU, to bread boarding, to using only stick of RAM and even hooking it up with the original setup. It all leads to a black screen at powering on and no start up beeps.
What is the problem?
