Black screen, power switch not responding

[Comi92]

Hello...i'm having some problems with my pc, and i think my graphics card is causing it.

My PC just restarted, and monitor is not turning on, and also front power switch is not responding when i try to turn the PC off that way. I was in the middle of a loading screen in "The Division" game when this happened.
Any suggestions?

Thanks

Have you tried turning off the PC using the power switch on the back of the power supply?

Give it a minute then flick it back on and it should then allow the power button to work

Yes, it was turned off like that for about 30 minutes, and it's still the same, no changes.

Ok please provide your full PC specs (cpu motherboard, gpu, etc). Does the system beep at all when you try to turn it on?

Ok 2 beeps is a memory failure, and the Computer will not POST if that happens. Do you have 1 or two sticks of RAM? If you have two, please remove 1 and try to start the PC, if that doesn't work, swap it to the other one.

Only one.

Only one.

Ok so then for now with the power switch on the PSU off, remove the memory and re-insert it. Then try it again (sometimes that can get things going). Let me know what happens.

Ok, great, that worked.

Thank you for your help!!

No problem. Hopefully it stays that way. If you keep having this issue you may need to replace your RAM.
