When I turn on my CPU, the LED shows that the CPU is powered on but there is no output to the monitor. I've tried to strip it down to the essentials with only one RAM and no dedicated GPU. The system booted up but struggled to work. Earlier I ran a check on all the components of my motherboard and found that the HDD health was bad (tried with Seatools). The system had unexpected shutdowns earlier for no reason while made me to check the HDD. Here are my system specs:
Here's what I tried to do and the results from them:
I have no idea what to do after that. Tried goggling for all resolutions for BOOTMGR image is corrupted. Issue is still not resolved. Please help me out.
Intel Core2Duo 2.4 GHz processor
Gigabyte GA-G41M Combo V2.0 motherboard
Asus Geforce 210 1Gb GPU
Seagate 160 GB HDD
1 x 2 GB and 1x 1 GB DDR2 Transcend Ram
Here's what I tried to do and the results from them:
Unplugged everything, disconnected the GPU and cleaned up the all the slots.
Reset CMOS by reseating the CMOS battery.
Disconnected the HDD, DVD-ROM connected only the 2 GB RAM in slot 1. Connected the monitor to internal GPU using VGA cable.
Turned on the CPU and the system booted up but didn't detect the HDD.
Plugged in the HDD and turned on the CPU.
The system booted into windows but took almost 4 times the usual boot time.
Inserted the 1 GB ram into slot 2. The system wouldn't boot.
interchanged the ram slot and still the system didnot boot.
Inserted only the 1 GB ram into slot 1 and the system booted up but got stuck at the windows start screen.
Inserted the 2 GB ram in slot 1 and the GPU, connected the monitor with DVI cable to the GPU.
The system booted up but was stuck at the Windows welcome screen.
Connected the DVD-ROM and tried to format HDD. CPU couldn't boot into any DVD and gave the error message BOOTMGR image is corrupt as i tried booting through DVD.. (Tried booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12 and Ubuntu 14.1 installation disks).
Now, the system wouldn't boot into Windows or detect any installation media.
I have no idea what to do after that. Tried goggling for all resolutions for BOOTMGR image is corrupted. Issue is still not resolved. Please help me out.
