Hey everyone, I could really use your help. I'm pretty new to computers and my display just stopped working suddenly while everything else seems fine. My PC was on, the fans were running, and the lights were blinking, but no display was showing. I restarted the PC, and still, nothing appeared on the screen. I double-checked the HDMI cable, switched it around, and it wasn't loose either. I took out the RAM sticks, cleaned them and the slots, then put them back in, which actually worked for a couple of minutes before going blank again. I've tried different RAM sticks and slots too, but it's still not working. My case kept turning on and off randomly, and I even removed and reconnected my graphics card. I'm really worried since I have an exam coming up and I need my PC. Any ideas on what to do?

It sounds like you're facing a frustrating issue! First off, can you share your PC specs like the motherboard and graphics card? Also, have you attempted to reset your BIOS settings? Sometimes that can help if there are custom configurations messing things up. And if you disconnect the GPU and connect your monitor directly to the motherboard with HDMI, it might help troubleshoot the problem further. Let us know!
Here are my specs: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Intel Core i5 11th Gen @ 2.60GHz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Gigabyte H510M S2 motherboard, Dell S2421HN monitor (1920x1080), Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, Fingers 500 PSU, and some storage drives. I haven't reset the BIOS yet — I'm not even sure what that involves, to be honest. And I haven't found the HDMI slot on my motherboard yet, but I could send a pic if that helps.
