Help diagnosing whats broken

Jacobian · July 26, 2019

Hello Guys and gals.

I'm in need of some tech assistance and thought this would be the best place to come.

I was using my HP 810-211na prebuilt playing Pubg and i got a BSOD (which i didnt take the details of. i know... im stupid). It was a super hot day and i thought that it had overheated. The machine proceeded to reboot but will no longer post. The power lights will cycle on, stay on for a few seconds, then the machine restarts.

Im trying to figure out which component has failed on me. Any thoughts, hints and tips would be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance

The first thing I would try is unplugging and and holding the power button for 10 seconds, then plugging it in and trying to boot. If that doesn't work pull the CMOS battery out, and with it out unplug the system and press the power button, then plug it in and put the battery back, this will clear CMOS (any BIOS options).

How far is it booting? is it getting passed the BIOS or is it a Windows problem?

Thanks for those suggestions. tried the power/cmos battery things to no avail. It isnt getting past the bios. Nothing is showing on the monitor at all when i turn it on. The LED fan lights power on stay on for maybe a second, then they shut off. From there it loops over and over with nothing changing.
