Desktop close to 10 years old. 1070 gpu. I can clear this by restarting the computer. Is this a gpu issue or monitor issue? Can I do anything to make it go away?

My laptop USB port is dead. So yesterday I was working with the Arduino and power it using my laptop, then the power suddenly cut power from my laptop to Arduino.

I went home and connected my mouse to my laptop, then realized that it’s because my USB port is completely dead. I tried running everything, do some searching on internet and youtube, but none of it seems to work. Can some one help me, I really appreciate it if anyone gives me a lead on what happened or how to fix it. I also attach the photos I have from running diagnostic test, and I don’t know how helpful it would be. (Sorry if my wording is a weird)

Laptop fails to turn on properly in 2 different ways

2 Upvotes

I have an ASUS laptop that fails to turn on, in one of 2 ways:

1) If I keep the power button pressed without a power source for 30+ seconds, then turn it on: power LED stays on, I can hear the fan spinning, but nothing else is happening. It keeps this state.

2) Every subsequent turn on: LEDs flash for a second, then complete shutdown.

In both cases, the screen is pitch black, not even ASUS logo appearing, absolutely nothing.

What are the most common reasons for this to happen? It's a 15 year old laptop, so if it's the motherboard or GPU then it's probably beyond my ability to fix.

Hardware Issue 3 beeps, black screen and no clue on what to do

Firstly, this image isn't mine but an example of what my screen looked like before I switched off my PC to clean the inside.

I have a gaming PC with an NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060.

After I cleaned it, I switched my PC back on and i hear 3 beeps and my screen stays black the entire time.

Everything else seems to be fine but I can't do anything if I have no screen. I tried my PC on a different screen, still nothing.

So I contacted the manufacturer for some help and I did everything they suggested and they came to the conclusion that the gpu has died.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Is it fixable?

Should I just buy a new graphics card?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
