Hi everyone
I didn't know what I should have named this thread.
My friend's pc boots up , but it does not display anything, all the fans spin but it makes a weird noise and then the monitor goes into power saving mode. It does not display anything not even the BIOS. It worked perfectly before, my friend did not update any drivers. he only used it to play civ 5 and do tasks , and watch movies and stuff. We are writing exams so we couldn't test the components on another system but we will be doing so asap. His components are about two years old.

specs:
Asus B85 motherboard (not sure what model)
Core i5 3570k
Sapphire R9 270X
Corsair TX650 PSU
8Gb Corsair Ram

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It did not work, he sent it to a computer shop to be looked at. Thank you for your advice.
