I have a pretty old computer that just stopped working. The power supply turns on, the fans spin but no signal is given to the monitor. I connected the monitor to my laptop to see if the monitor was the problem, it worked fine. I took apart the computer, took out the ram and the gpu, unplugged everything and still doesnt work. I even resetted the cmos but nothing. I'm really stumped. What are some possible problems?

Thank you.

Follow these steps and information we need

1. Follow No post situation on the troubleshooting section

2. Try with different ram

3. Pictures plox

4. Possible graphics card died.

5. What is the last thing you did before it stopped working?

OFF TOPIC: I suggest every poll from now on to have "**CK EA" option instead of "Other"

There's two sticks of ram so i tried a single of each but no luck. I just took this pc out from a long time ago, maybe 3 years. It was working fine before we stored it. I'll upload pictures in a second.

Does a second mean 3 hours? :P
