Troubleshooting an Old Computer

[ObsidianSheep]

Hello, I have an old Lenovo Thinkserver TS140 that suddenly started giving me troubles. I had alt tabbed out of an application to open task manager and change a setting then when I alt tabbed back the display went black and no inputs were being received (alt f4, ctrl alt del, ect..). After I rebooted the computer I could not get it to boot into windows or the bios and I have so far tried everything that I could think of such as booting without the graphics card, removing 2 of the 4 ram sticks and clearing the cmos both by moving the jumper and removing the battery. 

 

Is there any steps that I have missed or additional steps that I can try?

Edit:
The monitor used to display the brand logo of the computer but it would not post any further than that. I am currently plugged directly into the mother board display output.

What setting did you change? 

Clear the cmos and then try.

I did not change any settings and have already tried clearing the cmos.

Total shot in the dark, but have you double checked all the monitor cables and power to the monitor? Easiest thing first.

Yes I have, the display would display the logo of the computer brand but it wouldn't go any further than that, I am currently plugged directly into the mother board display output.

Sometimes systems hang when drives fail. Can you get into the BIOS if you disconnect all the drives?

[ObsidianSheep]

No I can not, I disconnected the HDD and CD drive and it only beeped twice and still no post into the bios.

According to Lenovo, there should be an on-screen error message for a two-beep post code. Anything?

[ObsidianSheep]

Yes, It is displaying error code 0162: setup data integrity check failure.

I have now been able to get it to post to windows after changing out the monitor. It appears as if it may have been a combination of the monitor and graphics card.

 

Thank you for your help.
