No beeps - nothing spare laying around
My best suggestion would be to try & seek someone local you might be able to provide you with the relevant spares just so you can swap them out & test via process of elimination - Have you tried swapping monitors?

My own 6y/o PC is starting to give me strife, has been for a bit, I'm hoping it's just the Video Card but either way computers are rarely cheap things to repair - Hope it's nothing too serious man.Yeah that's what I thought - yep plugged the monitor into the laptop just to make sure - that would be embarrassing

Mines about 4 years old - I just want to get all the holiday photos off the hard drive and of course my collection spreadsheet!My own 6y/o PC is starting to give me strife, has been for a bit, I'm hoping it's just the Video Card but either way computers are rarely cheap things to repair - Hope it's nothing too serious man.

that shouldn't be too hard, HDDs are normally easy enough to recover - Push comes to shove, just stick the drive in an external drive chassis, that'll let you plug it into another Machine via USB as if it were a thumb drive etc.Mines about 4 years old - I just want to get all the holiday photos off the hard drive and of course my collection spreadsheet!

If just the fans start when you press the power button then the motherboard has popped.

Cool thanks Kup, in theory if I get exactly the same motherboard can I just swap the old one out? Theres a few conflicting articles on the net.

yes you can. I am assuming you are using a standard ATX motherboard of course.

Yep standard ATX - I think I will get the files off as suggested by hursti then try and replace it - that way if I destroy it or get to a point of no return then it won't be all doom and gloom.

Started Halo 4 over the weekend. It's so good to have some fresh content, I've run thorough Halo 3 on legendary with skulls twice already.
I'm pretty happy with the new 343 Industries style. Loving the Promethian Knights, etc as enemies. Such a cool style. Their tech seem kind of Cybertronian to me, especially the weapons.
The screen is a bit cramped now with all the visor details around the edges.
