Ailen ware aura r4 blank display

After experiencing a problem loading a game, So I decided to restart my PC. When it tried to come back on,the only things that did is the tower lights and fans. I tried a few times powering it down and starting it up but the same thing is happening.

So far I opened the tower cleaned out the unit, re seated the vid board, and tried the monitor with another PC.

The monitor is good and so are all the connections. I'm guessing the vid board is bad...any other possibilities?

Ok I swaped out the video board, and nothing changed... Mother board maybe?

Darn.
Ya, maybe ... but also see this, especially "If above fails" section

Good work checking monitor.

Try a different PCIe video card (even if low-end) or try existing video card in other machine.

It turned out to be a bad stick of ram... I had 4 sticks I removed them all and put 1 in at a time in the first slot and tried to boot the computer. All worked but 1. everything seems to work good now, and I'm ordering a new new stick now.

  Thanks for the help.
