Hi! My PC has been working fine for 1 1/2 years, however today when I woke up and tried turning it on the fans started spinning, stopped spinning for 1/2 a second and then started spinning again, after that my monitors doesn't receive any signal from the computer. Some USB ports receive power but some does not. But as I said my fans are spinning and my pump is running. I tried pressing the caps lock button on my keyboard to see if the computer was booting but the caps lock button didn't light up so it's not booting.

What I've tried:

Clearing CMOS by removing battery

Holding the power button for 1 minute while psu cord is unplugged

Taken out my graphics card and plugged my monitor to the internal graphics

Tried to boot with another graphics card

Using only one ram stick, I've tried both ram sticks in the DIMM_2 slot


I unfortunately own only one computer so I don't have access to other components to try to find out what's wrong

My system:
i5 6600k
MSI PRO GAMING CARBON Z170
Corsair h60 v2 AIO 
Corsair RM1000X PSU
Asus strix RX480
HyperX Memory 2x 8gb

All of the components are not older than 1 1/2 years...

Any help is appreciated! Happy

Multiple restarts usually has to do with bad DRAM timings or voltage issues, at least it has with me, although it doesn't explain no video output.  Do you have both monitors on?  How are they connected.  It may be going into a BIOS screen, in which case it would only output on one of the inputs depending on the card.  Example, if my board goes into BIOS, it will only show on the one connected with HDMI as long as it's connected.

 I have three monitors, all of them are on and properly connected to my gpu, I've checked all of the connection points and tried with different cables, and tried changing the input sources on all of them, but since my caps lock button doesn't light up when I press it it indicates that the computer isn't booting... Right?
