The Problem:
Coming home from work one day, my new high end gaming (custom build) of 2 months
suddenly refused to give me a BIOS POST screen.
The GPU Version POST screen would show up on my screen, afterwards I'd get my ASUS BIOS screen that would come after it, this didn't happen...
I get nothing but a black screen, fans roar when it's booted up, LED is a beautiful blue, HDD and SATA Drives ready to go, and my motherboard doesn't screech or anything and gives me the greenlight that everything is A-OKAY.

(But in reality, it isn't)


Specifications:

Motherboard:
ASUS P8 H61-M LE R2.0

GPU:
PNY NVIDIA GEFORE 550TI

CPU:
Intel Core I7 2600k (2nd Generation)

RAM:
PNY 8gb

HDD:
Western Digital 500gb

What was done to attempt to fix the problem:

  • -Removed the CMOS Battery for 2 minutes and placed it back in.
    -Removed Several Components, Cleaned them, and replaced them.
    -"F4, Delete, F8" Methods
    -"Process of Elimination"
    -Tried a different monitor (It's definitely not the monitor)

try using bare minimum, remove extra sticks of ram (just use 1), dvd drives, extra hard drives, etc.
then start from there.
you can (optionally) check the temps by touching (be careful of course) the heat sinks, if you have extra psu, then try that as well.

use built-in gpu for now, just so that the gpu is out of the equation

That didn't work at all. (I just get a permanent black screen when I even remove 1 stick of RAM)
I can't even use the built in GPU because I can't get to the BIOS screen to access it.
