BLACK screen of death!!!
Sorry about the title, just saw alot of BSOD threads, and I guess it was just my attempt at a bad pun.
Anyways, jokes aside, the problem is pretty serious; I'll try to explain it to the best of my abilities, although it's a pretty weird one:
It all started yesterday, while I was watching some videos on my computer when I started to feel a little sleepy. Deciding I was too sleepy to concentrate, I decided to put the computer in sleep-mode so I could pick up where I left off, before going to sleep myself. 6.5 hours later I woke up, and tried to turn it on by pressing a key on my keyboard... no response
tried shaking and clicking my mouse... no response
checked the VGA and tried again... no response
power button... no response.
So I gave up and hard reset the computer, but when I tried to turn it on again (now here is the weird part) it would turn on... put it wouldn't do anything. The fans, the lights, cd-drive, graphics card-fan... all worked (or were at least getting electricity) yet no bios or loading screen or anything for that matter.
Long story short... I've tried pretty much everything, and I know that's a cliched statement-- but I've literally disassembled everything till it was just the Motherboard, Graphics card, and PSU. And I've tried hooking it up to a different monitor, and I'm sure it's not the monitors since both work when hooked up to a different computer. I've even tried reseting the BIOS manually; no avail.
Looking through the net, there aren't many other problems like it. The closest I was able to find was this one: Link
Although, even after reading it, and trying everything. The problem still persists... I just hope it's nothing unrepairable. When I was using it yesterday, everything worked perfectly, hell I even ran and played Crysis (on med. settings albeit) without any lag/fps drop.
So yea... any help, would be much appreciated
^^ Thank You.
