Hey all.
First built this PC in October 2016 so some parts are old but have recently upgraded my RAM and GPU.
This worked fine up until a few weeks ago where I had a black screen(no artifacts) the monitor just kinda went dead. Front panel power/reset switches stopped working so turned off using power supply. When I turned back on no display was showing still. Tried the usual troubleshooting and clearing the CMOS worked.
Fast forward a few weeks with everything being fine and same black screen happens. This time clearing CMOS doesn't work. I try 4-5 times to do it and it does eventually post. Although the exact same issue happens later in the day. This time with clearing CMOS not working at all. I figured (this could be wrong) that as the GPU and RAM are fairly new then it could be a problem with one of the two so I swapped out the RAM with my old stuff first with one stick. Which then the PC posts first time, and I add another stick (Totaling 8GB). And the PC works for at least a day, I thought I would test it and swap out the RAM again to make sure the problem was with the new stuff. In which I was correct as hours after I make the change the PC black screens. I say great as I know the problem right (surely?) switch off the PC and get the old ram back in there. Doesn't post. Any ideas of what to try? I definitely haven't mixed up the DIMMs and have held power button down to clear memory state and still no luck.
Thanks!
