Hello everyone.
Several weeks ago my screen started "flickering", randomly restarting and I had no idea why (well, probably because of the lemon cologne I used when cleaning my CPU fan and top of the heatsink it maybe damaged the mobo). I updated the drivers, checked every power connection, made sure that every cable (inside and outside the case) were properly seated... It worked for 1-2 weeks but after that, the problems started again. I read somewhere on the internet that doing an "clean install" (removing past drivers before installing new ones, using the option in Geforce Experience) is better than doing an "quick installation". I tried it and my screen immediately went black (no signal popped up in monitor) and then I force-shut the PC down using the power button.
When I opened it up several seconds later there was no signal on my monitor. The fans were spinning but no display on the monitor, I couldn't even see the BIOS screen, I couldn't open it. I tried to make an "Windows 10 repair disc" but the DVD I used refused to burn an ISO file into it. I can't open the PC in safe mode either. I use a Asus Strix GTX 960 2GB.

Can somebody help me with this situation?

Edit: Taking out CMOS battery for 10 minutes and then inserting it again doesn't help too. Normally my mouse's LED lights would open but they don't, so Windows is not starting. No access to BIOS.

Well... I just solved the problem.

I brought my pc to a local "coumputer-guy". He tried to boot the system from another RAM stick. At first he said that my RAM sticks failed. But several seconds later, he tried another method.

Before trying that method, he said that my RAM sticks probably had some kind of "excess electricty" inside them (probably static). He managed to remove it by gently rubbing a screwdriver on the bottom part of the RAM (the yellow part that fits into the RAM slot). After that the system booted up properly.

He finally said that it was because of my mITX, cheap, unreliable, H81 motherboard. Apparently I was putting it under too much pressure when gaming.
