Computer dead?

[ProLogic]

Hey there

 

Just wondering if anyone can help me with this:

 

I have a Packard bell iMedia s2870 

Specs: 

i5 3340

gt620 1GB

8GB ram

1TB HDD

 

 

It won't output video, when i turn it on, the fan is slow, then the fan speeds up and does not slow down.

Anything i can do to recover this old beast? I would quite like to have it back in service.

 

Feel free to ask questions.

If the fan speeds up and doesn't slow down, then it's a tell sign that it failed to POST successfully. Clear the CMOS on the board and see where that gets you.

Done this multiple times, doesn't seem to work.

Remove the GPU, and try booting with one stick of RAM installed (cycle through individually with all your sticks of RAM).

Also tried this, it worked once, but wouldn't leave the bios, tried with the other stick of ram, booted into windows but said corrupted drive, I couldn't use it with just 4GB of memory and no GPU though.

Damn, looks like quite a few possible component failures. Did anything happen to the system do you know like a power surge or something? Or has it just been sitting around in a closet for a while?

Been trying to sort it out for months, it was in full service when it died, was just turned on one morning and decided to give up, worked perfectly the night before.

Update for today, Plugged it in, turned it on and it beeped once (which is normal) everything was plugged in, as for video output, (i didn't shut it down and plugged it into two different monitors, both of which i know work properly. nothing

Update for today #2: It fully booted into windows (while taking its sweet time in the bois) but wouldn't take any keyboard/mouse input, whether it be PS/2 or USB (tried multiple keyboards that i know work)
