Ok my problem is a little tricky and I need help ASAP. I am a bit tech savy my self but I have been at this probem for weeks. My computer starts up fine, fans are spnning and such, but there is no display on my screen. It does not show "No signal" just empty black ness as if it was off.I think it might be the graphics card because it's discontinued but I cant be for sure, and I have no other PC in my house to test it.s Here is the tricky thing, I CAN get it on sometimes when I unplug the power cables everwhere and plug them back in. Once I do that I can play games such as BF4 fine. Although when I manage to start up my computer the time is always off, I have also tried to replace the CMOS battery, which did not help solve anything. I do know its not the monitor cause I tried it on two.

Yes I have tried the psu in the gpu... I know my fair share of computers.

MrElectroman3anyone who defaults to bringing people down because they think they are better than the person they are bringing down, is instantly incorrect.
FCCAGutThat makes sense how? Take it not as a offensive term but to encourage you to expand upon knowledge. Also don't worry that I'm here, I'm just as smart as you.
if you insult someone because they are incorrect, you instantly become incorrect.
Avoiding flame, this is the last post that will be involved with FCCAGut on my behalf.

Have you plugged in the required power to the GPU?

It does need a GPU to post.
You're an idiot.

1. Tell me how i am wrong. Before you call me a idiot.
2. Yes you don't need a graphics card to post, but you need a iGPU then.
3. OP doesn't have a iGPU because he has a FX series.

I guess the only thing we can say now is take out all the hardware besides the CPU. I've seen a CPU die/dying/faulty. One CPU I had would keep showing memory failures and wouldn't POST. Another one I had which I can't tell if its faulty or not, If that one doesn't post I would get GPU information on the screen and it would crash. If it would POST it would crash in the CMOS. CPU's do weird things when they don't get stuff right. Remove hardware is all I can think of right now. I do remember on another computer I used one of the wires was put in the wrong place and it wouldn't show anything on the screen. It really depends on how your motherboard is designed. Of course I could bash PC's at that point since they aren't standard, but that's just me. Ha.
In a different circumstance, UEFI may be at fault as well. That's some crummy stuff they got there. Especially in terms of memory. But yeah remove all the hardware (besides the CPU), including all the RAM and go by one by one and a computer doesn't need a GPU to POST.

Since the monitor's receiving signal that means the GPU's communicating with it. If I were you I'd find a computer to test the GPU in (I know you said you don't have a computer to test it in, but the GPU needs testing). If the GPU works, then it's not receiving proper data (if any at all) from the CPU, in which case it's either a CPU or motherboard problem. I'd also find an old GPU to plug in to your computer and see if it runs fine while using it, to rule out motherboard/CPU failure.

Its not the GPU I have tried that and it is actually not that beep noise. Its the same noise, but more together.
1
Do the beeps sound like this?
EDIT: Here's what I found for ASUS motherboard beep codes. Are you sure it's 6 beeps? If it's 6 including the normal startup beep, then it's probably hardware failure.

Yea sounds like that Im trying to figure out what part it is though
1
What motherboard do you have? If we can get the brand and model we (or you) can look up the beep error codes and find out what 6 beeps means.

Answer me one question....did you remove all the RAM? I've seen this problem before a couple times and usually involves the first stick being bad. The BIOS on the graphics card gets stored inside RAM. If there's a problem with that first stick it can't write to it, hence a black screen. 6 beeps could be a memory failure as well depending on the BIOS you have.
1
Yes I replaced both of the ram sticks.
1
Ok, I got new ram, not the ram. I got a new gpu. not the gpu. Next? BTW I got a little speaker thing gives me 6 beeps
1
Generally when my monitor doesn't work it's because I put the monitor in a certain place and it'll lose connection. It's sorta weird.
1
It isn't your graphic card. Does the startup appear? If it does try hitting F8 and see if you can run it in safe mode.
1
It could be your motherboard shorting out. It wouldn't be a GPU problem since it does work once you get it up. Do you still have those speaker connectors that came with the mobo? If so, plug them up and see if it makes any sounds.
1
No, my mobo or case did not come with that sadly. Is there any other way I could know my mobo is shorted out?
1
No idea, other than seeing if other things work, and see which one doesn't. From what you've said, and what other's have said, it's pointing to a fried motherboard. Do you still have warranty on it?
1
I do have a warranty on it, and i plan on contacting them as soon as they are open tomorrow, I will keep you updated.
1
I'm not the best with computers but you could try to plug in the VGA cable to the motherboard plug
1
I have an AMD cpu so no vga cable on the mobo.
