Dallas, Texas, Custom Gaming Computer PC Power Light On Board But No Display Issue

 Your PC is letting up, and fans moving but you do not see any display. It could be the loose connection, bad graphics card, or motherboard issue. Here is the troubleshooting guide.

Check the connection

Make sure the GPU is spinning and plugged into the power. Take the PSU cable out and replug it in again. Also make sure the display cable is good and connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard.

Reseat the GPU and RAM

Random access memory (RAM) is a storage device for your computer that is used to hold data that is being accessed by the CPU. The GPU, or graphics processing unit, is responsible for displaying images on your screen. If either of these parts is not functioning properly, it can have a serious impact on your computer's performance.

One of the most common problems that can occur with these parts is that they can become loose over time. This is often the result of vibrations from the computer's fan or from using the computer for extended periods. If you have noticed that your computer has been running slower than usual or that it has been crashing more frequently, it is likely that one of these parts has become loose and needs to be reseated.

While it may seem like a daunting task, reseating these parts is quite easy and only takes a few minutes. In most cases, you will only need a Phillips head screwdriver.

First, shut down your computer and unplug it from the power outlet. Then, open up the case and locate the RAM. It will usually be inserted into slots on the motherboard. Gently remove the RAM from its slots and set it aside. Next, locate the GPU. It will also be inserted into slots on the motherboard, but these will likely be different from the RAM slots. Remove the GPU and set it aside as well.

Once both of these parts have been removed, take a look at the slots they were inserted into. If you see any dust or debris, use a can of compressed air to clean it out. Then, line up the RAM with the slots and gently insert it back into place. Do the same with the GPU.

Once both of these parts have been reseated, close up the case and plug your computer back in. Try turning it on to see if the problem has been resolved. If it has, great! If not, you may need to move to the next step.

Check PSU (Power Supply Unit)

You can do a few things to ensure that your power supply is working properly. First, check the power cord to ensure that it is plugged into an outlet and that the outlet is receiving power. Next, check the power switch on the power supply to make sure that it is in the "on" position. Finally, check the connections between the power supply and the other components in your computer to ensure that they are secure. Make  sure the GPU is getting power and is spinning when the computer is on.
