PC is on but no display

[Sashgnarg]

So after unplugging then replugging my RAM (I did this because my pc kept freezing for a couple of seconds every minute or so while playing Fortnite), I am not longer getting display. My RGB lighting works for my graphics card, but my mouse and keyboard RGB aren’t turning on. A few minutes ago my keyboard’s RGB was flickering on and off, but after a few restarts it stopped. Fans and everything in the case seem to be working fine

 

what I’ve tried so far:

-restarting pc

- turning pc completely off and holding the power button

- unplugging and replugging all cables

- using each ram stick individually. In the slot nearest to the cpu.

-making sure everything was properly inserted

-yelling

-unplugging all cables and with only the monitor plugged in

-letting it cool down

 

Pc specs-

 

cpu: amd fx 8320

gpu: gtx 970

700 watt thermal take power supply

Am3+ msi motherboard- not sure what model

 

RAM- adata xpg v1 8gb ram (4gb x2)

Try a different PSU.

 

I've seen and had units suddenly be unable to provide adequate power to turn on the system beyond the LEDs and fans, sounds like what you're experiencing here.

I see you have the HDMI and DVI plugged in, you should have only DVI plugged in instead and boot with only that.

Try running the gpu, on the second pcie slot. See if that works. Also did you wait a couple minutes after turning it on to see if Windows was just doing loading?

Yep, it’s still on actually I left it running in case it was just really slow. Gimme a couple of minutes to switch the gpu slot and I’ll tell u if that works

Ok so sorry that took so long, I had like 100000 wires blocking it and it was hard putting it in. Sooooooo it doesn’t work still, but I heard the windows thing when I was shutting my computer down. It was three beats “dun dun dun”, not the starting up sound. Also my keyboard RGB is actually still working, but it’s just very dim.

Did you made sure to check if the monitor cable were loose at the rear of the monitor? Cause you basically narrowed it down to only the monitor and gpu having issues a side from your USBs having some shorting issues. Since you said Windows booted up, then RAM shouldn't be the issue, the CPU and motherboard shouldn't be the issue, and the PSU is not causing the issue.

 

Also try doing a bios reset.

Windows only booted up once though. And it was as I shut it down which is weird. Also what about the lighting issue with my mouse and keyboard, wouldn’t that be a psu or motherboard issue?

Could be more of a motherboard issue, since the motherboard should prevent the shorting to the usb. But try what @Crunchy Dragon said about the PSU. Since your PSU is a Thermaltake Smart 700W which is low tier psu.

Yea you know what, screw it. Ima just buy a new motherboard/cpu. I’m long overdue anyways. I have a warranty on my power supply so I’ll exchange that too. I was gonna wait until the 9th Gen Intel processors came out but I’ll just do it now.
