Okay,

 

So I just built this computer and installed windows on it.

 

It was working just fine for like 3 days, I could play games, do other stuff, and today I turned it on and it doesn't even output to the screen.

 

I've tried switching out the graphics card, Switching out memory, taking out my sound card, trying different monitors, AND different cables, But nothing works

 

Can anyone help me?

Have you tried running it of your mobo's graphics or anything else such as a laptop? If it  doesn't work with any device then you should RMA the monitor

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Have you tried a different cable, or host device?

He has. Read the OP.

 

Basically change everything one-by-one. Change monitor, then from GPU to MOBO, change HDMI/DVI/VGA/DP, change source entirely to Laptop or something, just eliminate all variables.

Try plugging monitor into motherboard graphics.

I have tried the motherboard graphics, That doesn't work either.

 

My specs are:

 

Intel Core 2 quad core 

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R

Corsair XMS DDR2 1gb x 2 (2gb)

Geforce 8800 GTS 

WD Blue 700gb 

Corsair HX620W

Yeah, I would suggest changing monitor and plugging the monitor into another source. That's your next step.

Then we know it's the computer! Ensure all cables internally are plugged in, especially the 24-pin and potentially supplemental CPU 6-pin power. Plug in GPUs and ensure they're seated and plugged in. Ensure RAM is seated correctly.

clear CMOS and see if the system starts to even POST

 

 

do you have those tiny speakers to plug to the mobo?

Try your GPU in a different PCI slot? I do not know if this will work, but it is worth a shot.

RIG: CPU: i5 6600k @4.8GHz 1.34v  CPU Cooler: H100i  Motherboard: Asus Z170-AR  RAM: Corsair Vengence LPX 2400 (2x8GB)

 

HDD: Seagate Baracuda 2TB  SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB/PNY 240GB  GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970  PSU: EVGA G2 650W

Please use PcPartPicker, and paste the "BB" code when posting your build!
