X51 r3 won’t boot PLEASE HELP
So earlier today I was just browsing and using the computer for non-demanding tasks and it shuts off. I decided to turn it back on but all it did was blast the fans at full power. The power light wasn’t full brightness and the blue lights weren’t on. I tried taking out and putting the ram cards back in and that didn’t work. There is absolutely nothing going into the monitor. Using win 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you x!!!

Sounds like hardware failure.
If it's not the AC-Adapter, internal Power-Board, or Video Card ... you might have a blown motherboard.
As for the video card, some x51 models have an on-board "video card" , so you could try using that:
