Hello Justin, It sounds like your PC might be encountering a hardware issue.

Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot:

1. Power Supply: Make sure the power outlet is working by testing it with another device. Also, check the power supply unit (PSU) of your PC to see if it's functioning properly.
   
2. Hardware Reset: Turn off your PC, unplug it from the power source, and hold down the power button for about 30 seconds. Then plug it back in and try turning it on again.
   
3. RAM Check: Reseat the RAM sticks (if accessible). Sometimes reseating them can resolve issues related to no display.
   
4. Graphics Card: If you have a dedicated graphics card, ensure it's seated properly in its slot.
   
5. BIOS Reset: Resetting the BIOS settings to default might help. This is usually done by removing the CMOS battery on the motherboard for a few minutes and then putting it back in.
   

If these steps don't resolve the issue, make note of any changes, so we can better pinpoint the issue and we can further troubleshoot.

PC boots up but monitor shows 'no signal' and keyboard not working.

My W10 PC boots up, fan spins, HDD spins but there is no output to monitor, which shows 'no signal' and the keyboard does not light up. I have tried all the suggested diagnostics such as unplug power, take out the CMOS battery, re-seat the RAM, clean RAM etc but nothing. It did come back on a few weeks ago for a few days then reverted to display showing 'no signal'. Any suggestions how to get this PC to display and work again are welcome.

Many posts i have read suggest entering BIOS etc or settings - i cannot do this as no display!

Please suggest fixes for my situation as above.

Thanks
