Computer Powers on but screen is black

[colemilne54]

2 days ago I went into my UEFI to choose to boot off of my USB so i could do a live persistent install of Kali Linux on my USB. I received an error message after I chose to boot from my USB so I chose to just boot my computer up from my normal HDD. Upon doing this I would get a CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED blue screen then the computer would shut down and boot up with another blue screen. It would just cycle between these 2 so I decided to shut my computer off by doing a cold restart (held power button for 5 seconds). When I booted it up again it turned on but my screens were black. I have attempted to clear CMOS about 3 times and nothing has helped.

Is it booting?

Try to start without HDD or any other storage connected (unplug CD drive!)

then the Standart troubleshooting:

1. Check if EVERY power cable is connected. Auxiliary power connectors included.
2. Make sure the cable coming from your monitor is attached securely to the graphics card. Also make sure it is securely attached to the monitor itself.
3. If you have both a dedicated GPU and an iGPU, try your monitor on both the outputs on the graphics cards as well as on the motherboard.
4. Make sure all connectors and cables are plugged in securely, reseat if necessary.
5. Make sure your RAM, CPU and GPU are plugged in securely, reseat if necessary.
6. If the motherboard you're using has debug LEDs, check the error code and consult the motherboard manual to see what it means.
7. If you have a debug speaker connected to the motherboard, note the beep sequence and consult the motherboard manual or this thread to see what it means.
8. Try clearing your CMOS.
9. Try booting your computer with only a motherboard, CPU and one stick of RAM attached (if you don't have an iGPU, plug in your GPU as well ). (try Ram in different slots)
10. Make sure your GPU works (if you have a dedicated one), try it in another computer.
11. Make sure your RAM works, try it another computer.
12. Make sure the RAM is compatible with your CPU and your motherboard.

Only noises are typical HDD spinning and the fans turning on

Is the Speaker connected to it? (i don't mean Headsets etc.) there is a special connector to connect your speaker.

 

Looks like this (maybe less pins):

has to be somewhere on your Mobo. most cases got sutch a speaker integrated.

Nope I have a crappy pre built desktop with a crappy motherboard.

I'm using a 10 year old cheap pre built PC, and it has that Connector.

Tell me your Mobo and I'll try to find it for you or send a picture.

Now that I read more I maybe didn't clear CMOS correctly for this motherboard

onboard speaker: either the speaker is dead, your Cmos is very dead or the mobo is dead.

So since I have one does that affect the trouble shooting process?

 

[Poohl]

if it doesn't beep: either the speaker is dead, your Cmos is very dead or the mobo is dead.

if it beeps google the beep code and you know your problem.

besides clearing, is there a way to fix a dead CMOS?

 

[Poohl]

depends on manufacturer:

-some are replaceable (buy a new one and replace the old one)

-most have some sort of backup/failsafe: reboot until it recognizes it's corrupted

-some can't be restored: dead CMOS = dead Mobo

replaceable = new battery?
