Hey so I am a little perplexed at the problem my computer has been having...
I built the computer back in 2012 and it has been humming along just fine since. A few days ago I was working on my computer like normal and then decided it was time for bed. I sent the computer to sleep and did so myself. I woke up the next day surprised to see the case still lit up so I assumed that I actually forgot to put it to sleep. I went to go turn it on but nothing was displaying on monitor and the keyboard was not lit. I powered it off and then powered on, when it started up there was no display and the keyboard still did not light up. After doing some perusing on this lovely site I decided to get a can of air and clean it out and re seat the ram. After powering on again no dice. I took out one stick of ram and then started up and glorious day the screen said that it detected a change in memory do I want to continue. I powered off and installed the other stick to see if that was indeed the problem. After booting up everything came on and the computer screen was working perfectly. The keyboard was fully lit it seems my troubles have passed, but all good things must come to an end. I used the computer for a few hours played some games and everything was working flawlessly, I decided to hit the sack and did a shut down instead of sleep hoping that in someway would preserve the glorious achievement a little dust can dished out. To my dismay the computer was still lit when I awoke and the problems persisted. Now when I re seat unfortunately the pc will not come back to life. However once when I left it on for awhile I heard the of familiar sound of the windows starting on the speakers. So this leaves me with one obvious little question... WHY THE *****!?
So far my assumtion are as follows:
1) Cant be PSU, the computer has power keyboard lights up all fans are running (gpu,cpu,case), I heard the windows start up jingle but didn't have display.
2) It is the PSU, the computer had issues lighting up the keyboard previously.
3) Can't be motherboard everything lights up and makes a nice hum, the windows jingle
4) Can't be gpu the system stated once and I was running games on it, the fans run
5) It is the gpu, I heard the windows logo with no display
6) maybe motherbaord?
7) Make no assumptions, the windows jingle was a fluke
