Hey guys, I need help trouble shooting my old PC so a friend can use it. When powered on, the fans and lights will turn on but nothing is displayed on the monitor. I used to be able to solve this by unplugging everything from the computer and plugging it back in but that doesn't work anymore. Anyone know what could be the issue? He has $200 to upgrade/fix it and I don't want to tell him to get the wrong new part. Would it be a good idea to get one of those PCI diagnostic analyzer cards?
Here's what it has inside:
AMD FX-8350
XFX Radeon R9 270X
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 2x 8 GB DDR3- 1600 CL10
Some Samsung SSD for boot
Seagate HDD for storage
Windows 10 probably
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
