pc turns on but not monitors or keyboard

[Pyro]

Have you tried a different cable, monitor, and peripherals?

Did you notice anything last time you were using your PC? Maybe a funny noise when operating, starting, or shutdown?

i’ve tried both monitors and a different keyboard, and what had happened is i turned my pc off and everything was fine but forgot i needed to do something so 5 minutes later got back on and suddenly nothing was working out of nowhere.

Have you tried reseating the GPU if you have one?

[Supergamezzz]

not really sure how to do that or what that entails

[Pyro]

Is this a self-built system? Who/where did you get it from? Doing this sort of work on the inside may void your warranty, especially if you’re unfamiliar and cause damage.

Working on the inside of a computer isn’t difficult, re-seating GPUs is about as easy as it gets, but I wouldn’t want to cause any damage by advising you to do something you’re not comfortable with.

yeah i built it myself i just don’t want it to clear any info or anyrhing idk how this stuff works lol

Can you list your full system specs or attach a PC-Part-Picker list so I know what we’re working with?

No on board video so remove the video card as suggested and reseat.
NB It will have a latch at the back of the card to release the card

go here Click on me and scroll down to the pic of the board under the heading
[HEADING=2]READY TO DOMINATE[/HEADING]
you will see the latch

Varying refresh rates/aspect ratios/resolutions on monitors can cause all sorts of issues. I’d unplug one so you only have one monitor connected to the computer.

and failing all of the above, maybe it’s time to consider stripping it all down and reassembling on a piece of cardboard.

inspect each part as you do so, and clean each part - and it’s corresponding motherboard slot.
clean any dust build up on the fans and heat sinks.
as you assemble it outside the case, keep it simple and only connect the core parts needed to get a signal on the screen - so only 1 RAM, no drives, 1 screen, no mouse or keyboard.
that should give you multiple beeps at startup (assuming you have one of those round, little, black, motherboard speakers connected) and possibly a ‘no keyboard present’ error on the screen.

also take to opportunity to replace the thermal paste for the GPU and CPU.

how do i actually reset it, do i just remove it and that’s it?

Remove, Blow the slot out - air from mouth will do.
Replace
Test.
Don’t forget the latch

Re-seat, not reset.

To re-seat a GPU you take it out, inspect the connections (including the power connectors) and put it back in.

The GPU being out is a great time to look around for other loose cables or potential issues - my best guess is that the computer got bumped or having it turn off caused something to shift and cause an issue.

GPU, RAM, and Power connectors are easy things to check first while you have the sidepanel(s) off.
