Hello Friends,
I (6 years back) bought a motherboard
msi 790fxgd70 and processor amd phenom 2 x4 925
corsiar VX550. And sapphire at radon 2 gb graphics card..2 gb corsair ddr3 ram

From today suddenly my cpu start but no monitor display although cpu fan and lights were running.. No power on keyboard either.. I thought it was problem with monitor or keyword so I tried to unplug both with mouse and use it on my another old pc..but to my surprise it ran although that is just a showpiece as. It had really low configuration.. But my mouse was not working in that too

I called my hardware engineer he said it could be display problem from motherboard but I didn't discuss about graphics card with him


So my query is what you think could be the issue and how I know that my mother board is gone or graphics card or both

At a preliminary level, try the following
1. Re-seat the RAM
2. Try RAM in another slot
3. Clean the RAM slots using a light brush or if you have IPA cleaner spray the same on to the RAM slots
4. If you have a speaker attached to mobo, then try with just CPU and nothing else, no RAM, no GFX and see if it gives any series of or long beeps
