I came home from work today and found that my (home) computer had frozen, so I turned it off and then turned it back on.
...And nothing happened. It powered on, but no POST, no beeps, and just a blank screen with nothing happening. Turned it off again, turned it back on, nothing. Tried it a third time, it went to POST, saw the bios, didn't react quickly enough to hit delete and then the screen went blank. Haven't had any luck since then--powers on, but no POST, no beeps, and just a blank screen.
I removed components from the computer one-by-one, but no luck--still no beeps or anything else. Finally just had the PSU supplying the motherboard and the CPU, and I did get the beep pattern indicating that I had no memory in.
I have two sticks of DDR3 RAM--tried just one module and then just the other module, and tried different DIMM slots on the motherboard, but no luck.
The computer is only a year old custom-build and has been operating perfectly. That said, yesterday, I did bump my desk hard enough that the computer froze. When I restarted everything was working fine and I used it for the rest of the night with no problems at all. So, I'm thinking this was just a coincidence, but who knows...
I've also tried resetting my CMOS, via the jumper and via removing the battery, but no luck there, either.
Any ideas of what I should do? Or what is wrong?
Right now, I'm thinking of either ordering new RAM, and hoping that is what's wrong with it, or taking it to a computer repair shop (first time I'll have ever had to do that, if I do ).
Any help/suggestions/ideas would be much appreciated!
