the PC powers on but the peripherals do not

Question

Hello, the title summarizes my problem quite well. I left my PC off for about ten hours, and when I tried to turn it back on, none of the peripherals responded except for the DVD/CD drive. I unplugged and replugged all my PC components, changed ports for all the peripherals, but nothing works. Here is the configuration:

Processor: AMD FX4300

RAM: 16GB = 2 sticks 1600MHz G.Skill RipjawsX Gaming series and 2 Kingston KVR16N11S8/4 4GB 1Rx8 512M x 64-Bit PC3-12800 CL11 240-Pin DIMM Value DDR3 1600MHz RAM

GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX-960 OC Edition 2GB DDR5 MSI/Gigabyte

PSU: FSP (Fortron) Raider S550W 80+ Silver

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue cache=64MB 1TB

DVD drive: 24x LG DVD Burner Dual Layer S-ATA

OS: Windows 10

Do you have a solution? I thought about the motherboard battery, but since the DVD drive and all the components are turning on, I'm not sure.

Hello,

Have you tried removing a RAM stick?

In case of display failure, the RAM can often be responsible.

Remove one stick, turn on the PC, if there’s still no display, put that stick back in and remove the other one.

All of this is in the case where there are multiple sticks, of course.

Best regards

re

@sheydi

explain to me how to reset the BIOS

either you keep the "installed" BIOS, or you update the BIOS

in this case, I don't think a BIOS update is necessary

re  when I said reset, I meant to restore to default values!  okay, but I don't see how that will change anything or solve max86250's problem  either it's an infection issue or driver(s)  possibly, a system restore to a date prior to his issue could solve the problem, but without a screen, it's hard to do  @+  -- the radiation level is higher at the unemployment office than at Chernobyl

re  Initially, it's indeed the BIOS that manages the peripherals, it seems...? There may have been a conflict with a device.. and I don't think it's due to a virus, since his PC was turned off..   The BIOS does not manage the peripherals "on its own"; if the drivers are not  installed, or if an infection prevents a service from executing (for example)  the device will not work  In the BIOS, you can change the boot order of the device(s):  ENABLE (ACTIVE) DISABLE (INACTIVE)  You can also modify the choice of devices (for example)  standard VGA card Nvidia card  You can disable and enable the one you want ===================================  For the problem that max86250 is encountering, it is not impossible that a Rootkit  or something else launches at the PC startup  Hello, the title sums up my problem quite well.

Which "components" light up?

PS: Did you restart the PC after this problem?

billmaxime · Answer

The components that light up are: processors, all the fans, the HDD the graphics card, the DVD drive, but the peripherals like mouse, screen, keyboard, headset, and microphone do not light up  Are you sure about the graphics card?  Isn't it a graphics chipset that you have in the PC?  Without a screen, I don't see how to solve your problem  @+  -- The radiation level is higher at the employment office than at Chernobyl.
