My computer will not boot

deadmoo5e

I'm having trouble getting my computer to boot up. I press the power on switch and notthing comes up on my monitor.

 

I've tried booting using only one ram stick alternating between the ram sticks.

I've tried booting the computer without the graphics card plugging my monitor's DVI cable directly to the motherboard.

I've tried holding the power button for over a minute and still it doesn't work.

 

I'm including a gif of what happens when I try to boot. It's 40 seconds long.

 

Anyone know what else I can try to figure this out?

What are your specs? Do the fans turn on and keep running? Does it give you a POST code, beep or otherwise?

Added the specs.

 

The fans are running as normally as far as I can tell.

 

The beeping sounds I get when I press power on are the normal sounds I used to hear before when my system worked.

I moved back into a new place a few months ago. I've had this computer since 2014. Moved it a few times but only a few meters.

 

Additional info is that when I played Tekken 7 it straight up crashed. Got a black screen out of nowhere.

Have you tried to clear cmos?

It sometimes solves the problem. It worked for me once.

I might have a GTX 550 Ti lying around. I could try that if I can find it.

have you tried another monitor, Cable etc. 

I'll see what I can find. I don't have much access to extra electronics. Guess I'll have to bump this thread later.
