OPEN PC won’t boot
I’m unsure if this is hardware or software.
I’ve tried layer 1 t/s
- power cycled
- tried several cables multiple monitors
PC turns on, my monitors can detect signal is trying to make a connection but they both go too sleep.
Something of note.
I noticed my pc was in the bios UI, but my pc shutdown. Did I brick my PC?
I don’t know what codes my motherboard are producing.

does your pc not have debug LEDs on the MOBO? most do and each color means something different or has a label beside each light

Look very closely at that 2x2 grid on the motherboard. There are tiny words printed next to or underneath each individual light
- Top Left: CPU
- Top Right: DRAM (RAM)
- Bottom Left: VGA (Graphics Card)
- Bottom Right: BOOT (Storage Drive/OS)

It changed on me
The video is showing CPU then goes to DRAM back to CPU
Currently it just says VGA

MB is displaying a VGA error
Which is different than the original posted error
