Sorry for replying so late. Yes I had already tried that as to reset the bios. But I had not even touched a single setting in the bios. Removing the battery did nothing. Nope. That's the thing : it never crashed while it was running. To make sure of that , I stress tested it and left it on for...

Nope. Already tried it and replied about it before. The screen does not post so no bios screen comes up. As such no options for booting shows up. I too at first thought to use the linux mint usb but to no avail.

Sorry for the late reply . I had a bad smps before (iball) but now I have tested the system using three different psu (2 mine, 1 from shop) so I don't think that's an issue. But just to be sure I turned it on for an hour but the problem was not fixed. Will update tomorrow after the repair guy...

Tried another motherboard , same issue so could likely be ram (my guess) as reseating it fixed the issue previously. But gave the pc to a repair guy to be sure. He said that the motherboard was dead but I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't, he said that he will install a new motherboard and the pc...

Yes I have and it seems to be the same case. But I think a new discovery is that while unplugged, the monitor shows check your cable but when plugged with igpu, it just stays off. Plugging or not plugging into the tv has the same result as signal not found

Also I get that the first motherboard was dead (asus) but the next ones that were problematic were checked by the repair guy on a video call. Seems like reseating the ram does the issue but he still issued me a new ram and a board. The 2nd board may be problematic but it has to be a very unlucky...

I need to connect this to my tv to make it an essentialy bigger monitor and sometimes to just bing watch shows. Due to this the igpu may have some trouble as noticed by me when comparing the images given by gpu and that of igpu. So thanks for the offer but I have to decline it . Was thinking to...

Checked but it was tight and there was contact with the processor. The previous thermal paste was replaced by me some time ago so that takes care of the drying issue.

May I ask how was the cooler involved in this ? I get that parts like motherboard,processor, etc can cause the problem but had no idea that this could also be caused by a cpu fan. So detailing as to why the fan was the culprit could help me understand better.

Sorry for late reply. But no the power outlets are grounded and are functioning properly because the grounding was done by a technician a few days ago during which he also inspected the mains and said it was okay to handle the load

Hello , I am back with the previous problem I posted in this thread. To sum it up the 'computer store guys' (not 1 but 3) said that my motherboard was dead even when my cpu fan was spinning as there was no display. I posted about it here and bought a new psu after the members suggested one. But...

@burntwingzZz that's the thing . I am a recruit so I cannot use WTB thread and the chances the type of psu I want will show up in FS threads is pretty low as of now. But think I'm gonna buy used from gameloot or new from Amazon. I think gameloot is nice as I had no problems for my other...

@vivek.krishnan The psu used in my build is rather old. If I had to repair it , that would cost very low but I doubt anyone can fix a bad psu. I think I'm gonna buy a Cooler Master MWE 450 Watt V2 80 Plus Bronze and ant value 400 watt 80 plus as a backup

Ok . Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm gonna wait for my next paycheck to buy the laptop and just upgrade to corsair for now.

@calvin1719 I am currently saving money for a new laptop but until that I have to have something to code on and occasionally play as my previous laptop's motherboard died. That's why I was asking about the reason for failure for my backup pc. As for the budget , I have 20k saved up until now...
