After following the advice and looking into my manual for Dr. Debugger codes I found out that it was memory related, so the trial and error began.
When A1B1 A2B2 were populated I got the error code 0x2E.
When A1B1 were populated (by the first of two 8GB kits) I got the error 0x45.
When A2B2 were populated (by the second of two 8GB kits) I could boot, so I put the second kit in A1B1 and it still booted.
Turns out that one (or two?) of my memory sticks were apparently fried for no reason, 'cause I always ran them at their recommended voltages / profiles.
I can now again boot and get into my OS.
I want to thank everybody that tried to help me for their advices and insights. <3 Words cannot describe how happy I am that my baby is up and running again.
Edit as of 05/22/14,
Steps I have taken so far:
1) I unplugged all PSU cables and plugged them back in tightly, still no signal on my monitor (can turn on my monitor, receive greeting msg then 'no signal detected')
2) Removed GPU and memory, received a *beep* from my motherboard, still no signal on my monitor (can turn on my monitor, receive greeting msg then 'no signal detected')
3) Switched my DVI cable for a HDMI cable, still no signal on my monitor (can turn on my monitor, receive greeting msg then 'no signal detected')
4) Plugged in my monitor via my motherboard's DVI port, still no signal on my monitor (can turn on my monitor, receive greeting msg then 'no signal detected')
Now I wonder, is it my PSU, GPU or CPU?
Greetings,
so I have been using my computer for about two years now on a daily basis and never had any issues with it, though I haven't turned it on the past two weeks because I was busy with studies and only used my laptop.
When I tried to turn it on today, my monitor would remain black. My machine lights up, starts working but not my monitor. After some time my monitor displays a message, that no signal was found.
When I built a computer for a buddy of mine last week I had the same problem and found out later, that I forgot to plug in the 8-pin connector so that is what I checked first in my case, but it was tightly connected.
So I checked whether any connectors had loosen up over time but that was not the case, everything is plugged in.
Ningeal got a reaction from seiny in All of a sudden my computer (monitor doesn't detect signal) won't turn on?!
