Try turning on your PC without the HDD. Try getting into the BIOS screen.

Again I can't get into any screen since my monitor and mouse/keyboard don't work.

If you have a SSD they can easily get corrupted in their boot sectors from random power outages. I learned this the hard way as living on a military base we had scheduled power outages very often.

Trying this wont hurt anything if this isnt the issue either!

Skip straight to steps two and three, often invasive measures are the only measures worth doing.

Remove everything removable but your CPU. (Inclues drives, PCI cards, RAM sticks)

Turn on your PC and listen for a beep code. If that doesn't happen, you're screwed, lol.

Some PC's dont have inbuilt speakers on their motherboards or their cases. This is only applicable if you had beeps previously!

Also, change the ports your mouse and keyboard go to (assuming they are USB and not PS/2)

This is bullstuff. How the forget is someone going to know what the problem is if the motherboard doesn't have beepcodes? Who the forget came up with this moronic idea? A Piezo buzzer adds like $2 USD to the board's full price which is insignificant considering the board's price.

Fight me!

My gaming motherboard uses a hexadecimal error code system instead of beeps.

What if you can't see data on your screen because your GPU is faulty? Hence onboard buzzers.

OP, try seeing if your motherboard has a small buzzer somewhere. If it does, do what I said before.

it is a screen built onto the motherboard... Like a little clock.

OT: Speaker looks like this!

"Hmm, we need to do some sort of error debugging."
"How about a buzzer?"
"NO! That's too expensive and hard to install!"
"What about a small screen?"
"I love your idea!"

...?

Yeah no, I agree 100% it is a total gimmick.

I know right? Look at this gimmick:














Dumbest stuff I've ever seen, wish my motherboard had a buzzer which only gave me the error code once!

Realistically 80% of those just mean get a new motherboard or arent actually errors. Yeah it overcomplicates things and is usless.

Maybe if you're using it wrong

I approve of Tokthree's post, and Pie Crust once again proving himself to defend stuff that is out dated.
