Unless, you can provide a lot more detail about your system, you will need to start from the beginning, get the mobo BOOT BEEP and then add in components one by one.

C:Amie Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 If it is PCIe graphics, does the motherboard have onboard Video? If so pull the PCIe and test the onboard. I take it that it makes noise as if it is turned on? Fans spin etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevTech Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 OMG - I can't decide if this thread is a SHOTGUN of random solution ideas or else if it is just a DIARRHEA of random thoughts oozing everywhere... Get some order here dude! #1 - if you don't hear a BOOT BEEP or else continuous BEEP CODES THEN make sure a SPEAKER is attached to the mobo. #2 - remove everything from mobo - RAM, GPU, just leave the CPU. You should get constant BEEPS #3 - if you are booting OK (BEEP!) then if you get constant disk activity, but BLACK SCREEN, you have trashed the video driver OR IF NO DISK ACTIVITY, then you have either trashed the BOOT SECTOR or else the BIOS settings are WRONG in all sorts of places that BIOS settings can be wrong which is why to ALWAYS get a mobo that SAVES your settings in various PROFILES. #4 - or if you actually provide real detail as in REAL DETAIL then we can suggest more ACTUALLY USEFUL things to try. You still haven't said which mobo version you have... xMorpheousx416 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pull the CMOS battery for about 5 minutes, make sure you remove the power from the PSU as well, and press the power button a few times with the cord removed, just to discharge everything. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that little watch battery between your CPU and PCI-E? Remove that for ~5 minutes and reinsert it. That will reset BIOS. Darn, Jnelson ninja'd me...

xMorpheousx416 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Let's see if we can get some type of order out of chaos. Understanding how a PC boots is key here. Goes without saying, however, your OP was confusing as hell. There are three stages to booting: Power On. System powers up. Reading the BIOS and setting/testing the hardware. Happens within mere seconds (aka the BIOS boot up screen you see). BIOS does a quick scan for the first drive with a bootable partition. BIOS hands over the boot process to the operating system. Operating system starts loading files, drivers, start up programs... etc.* *there's a ton more going on, but for the gist of this convo, we need to know where you are at, to provide the actual possible solutions. No boot. As in, when you press the power button, nothing happens. No lights, no fans, zip... nada. Could be: Power supply. Incorrect motherboard connections. Motherboard shorted out. CPU shorted out. Other components needed are toast. If you overclock, there's where you may find out you went a touch too far, although most boards these days have a fail safe from minor over-voltages. Computer stops at BIOS screen. Usually, you'll get an error on the screen pointing to something going on. Usually referring to either bad RAM, not being able to find an OS, bad OS files.. etc. "No boot partition found" "NTLDR is Missing" etc. OS cannot load. Windows failed to start. Keeps rebooting. Only boots to Safe mode. You have issues with the OS. If a restore doesn't work, use system recovery method to reinstall the OS, or possibly to fix the start up files. May also depend if you get some kind of error code to deal with. So.. you'll have to be more specific as to which part of this three step system is where you're getting stuck.

Even though that is good practice to reinster your CPU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goretsky Supervisor Posted May 28, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hello, Based on the available description, my best interpretation of the events is that your brother entered the computer's BIOS (UEFI) firmware settings and changed one or more values from their defaults, which caused the system to no longer boot up. Some motherboard BIOSes have the option to configure a password to allow access to the settings. You may wish to configure a password for the Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 motherboard, if possible, to prevent further unauthorized access.
