No display, help.

[ClaytonJoness]

My PC Specialist desktop has been running solid for the last 6 years. I came to it today, switched it on but no display. Now this is the strange part, i tried holding down the power button to turn it off but it won't switch off. So i resorted to the switch on the back. Turned it back on, but no display again. I have tried a different monitor, different HDMI cable and a VGA cable with no success.

Anyone able to help me with this?

Thanks

Does your PC have a dedicated graphics card? If so, you might try removing the card and plugging the monitor into the motherboard's video outputs and seeing if you get any signal there.

Was this a one-off or is this the only way you can shut the PC down now?

I just tried removing the graphics card and running it off the motherboard, still nothing.

Yes i always shut it down properly but the only way to shut it down now is via the switch on the back.

Is the screen displaying no signal or is it blank?

 

[ClaytonJoness]

It is displaying no signal.

It is displaying no signal.

It's worth double checking the screen is on the right input source.

I have tried that, tried another monitor as well.

I have tried that, tried another monitor as well.

In that case sounds like there's an issue with psu or graphics. Gonna be difficult to troubleshoot without another PC?
