    PC is turning on, all fans are running, but nothing on screen. I've checked all connections internal and external, but no joy. Any ideas where to start trouble shooting?

    Thanks

    Connect your monitor up to a different device to rule that out? What display options do you have? (vga, hdmi, etc)

    Already tried that. I was connected to one monitor by VGA and then connected to a HDMI one. Not the monitor :(

    Thanks though.

    Most likely ram has blown.

    Open THE case ,
    remove the motherboard battery,
    this resets the bios to default settings.

    wait 5 minutes ,replace battery ,reboot pc.
    i tried it with my pc ,it worked .

    screen was just black ,before i fixed it.
    put battery back in holder EXACTLY as before ,
    plus ,minus symbol ,in the same place,
    facing up,or down .
    battery is silver, about 0.5 inch wide , circular.
