Pc doesnt boot

[Lord Athetos]

So this morning the pc was working perfectly fine, but at some point the audio just stop working. I reinstalled the drivers of the audio controller and restarted it, now isnt booting at all. The motherboard shows the tuf logo more time than usual and then a black screen. I cant even enter the bios.

try clearing cmos, i had a similar issue, just minus the sound thing, i reset cmos and it works fine

Sounds like a bad motherboard to me.

The audio giving out might have been a sign that the motherboard is passing away.

If you cannot enter the BIOS, either take out the CMOS battery.

 

Just try to get it out.

 

 

When that doesn't work prepare to 

A: Buy a new system

B: Get it to a computer store if you just want to make sure it isn't dead.

 

Most stores will tell you it is dead without even checking it, since they profit from doing that.

I just returned home and tried to turn on the computer one more time before dissasembling it and it turned on! The weird thing is that when i turned it on i didnt realizeed that it has no cmos battery. Could something bad happen using the computer without that battery?

Without a CMOS installed time will not be saved neither will any changes you make to the BIOS/UEFI.

Nothing will break, but it will be a little annoying.

I'd say reinstall it, if the problem keeps coming back a new CMOS battery (pack of them) can be bought at IKEA for € 4 'Plattboj' does it for me.
