Desktop computer - windows 10, does not boot
I have a desktop computer I made many years ago using an Asus motherboard M4A88T-M model using a using an AMD Athlon II 100 series processor. It has onboard graphics, as well as 2 superspeed USB ports, and quite a bit of DDR 3 memory.
About last June I shut it down, and moved it to another room while we did some redecorating in the room it was in. Now a couple days ago I plugged in the monitor to the extra video card I had installed in it, keyboard, and it's wireless mouse. Turned it on and nothing came up. Tried rebooting a few times with no success.
I turned off the monitor and back on when it was turned on. Monitor said no connection detected. So I turned it off. I had to use the power switch in the back as just holding in the power button would not turn it off. I moved the connection to the motherboard video outlet thinking that if it lost some CMOS info it might revert back to the default of that video . Monitor still said "No connection detected" when I turned it on .
Case side off and CPU fan runs as well as the exhaust fan on the chassis.
Any ideas?
I am now wondering if the CPU might be dead. When I turn on the desktop you don't even get the ASUS manager, and hitting "Delete" does not b ring up BIOS. In fact NOTHING comes up on the monitor when turned on, whether from onboard VGA or the VGA connected additional card.
