What i did before it stopped working

I builded a pc last month and it worked perfectly until yesterday. My pc requested some updates/drivers, it was updates from MSI Live Update and i ofcourse started the download for the drivers and it ran for a hour or so and then when it was done it started setting the new drivers on so my  ethernet, screen went down for a minute. I were afraid my pc were chrashing but when it started again i could see that it was just the drivers. I noticed a huge lack of framerates but that went up again after a little time. After that it said i should restart but i was in the middle of something so i said no to emidiate restart. After i was finished i closed my pc and went to bed.

Important part - The problem, and what i tried 

The next day i went on it wouldent start proberly. I coulden't get a picture from my moniter and my keyboard and mouse were not lighting up as usual but all my fans on gpu, cpu and case started and the light for the start button lit up. Now i tried to find the problem and i disconnected all stuff and took all hardware out but not cpu, mobo and psu. I coulden't find the problem either after that but when my keyboard and mouse is not connected i can turn of the pc by holding the start button. Thats wierd for me becouse it coulden't turn off like that when it as connected. I have resetted bios so that's not the problem.

What could be the problem - My conclusion

I am worried if it could be the mobo not taking signal or psu not delivering enough power? 

Please help me i would like to get my computer working again.

MSI A78-G41 PC Mate

See if the PSU smells funny, if it doesn't, the PSU shouldn't be the problem. Find a friend who'll let you use a stick of RAM (DDR3) to see if the memory is causing the problem. Pull out the video card and use the iGPU. If the problem persists, the motherboard is busted.

The problem is that the iGPU isen't working and never had. The first time i booted it couldent get signal except if i took the video from the GPU. So that is a non reliable source.

You probably have to enable "onboard graphics" in the BIOS, since by default that is usually turned off, then use that

Can you get into the BIOS? I can't really tell from your post

Well idk it's not that often i check that but they have a heatsink on so i don't believe it was realy hot. The wierd part is that it was right after i updated some drivers.

drivers can cause instability do you have another harddrive with an old copy of windows on it from a laptop for example or an old desktop pc that is 64 bit

if it does than you should try putting the harddrive that was originally in the new system in another system and reinstall the older drivers

And now i got my hans on a mobo speaker. It makes 2 beeps, and that means that there is an error and further information will be shown on my screen. And that is ofcourse nice for me becouse it doesn't send a signal to my screen ....

 

Try RMA. If the PSU was the problem, the computer wouldn't boot and if it did, it would shutdown after awhile or it would smell like ass.
