Hi everyone,

The other night my computer blue screen suddenly. I wish I wrote down the error code! The computer was stuck at 0% for about an hour so I turned it off. After this, it won't send any signal to monitors or power any peripherals. I tried to unplugging and holding the power button for about 30 seconds. I did this with both monitors, each one separately and then none. Every time I got no signal or power to peripherals. After this, I removed the Graphics Card and plugged my monitor directly into the motherboard and had the same result. I am not sure what else I can try or troubleshoot short of replacing the board. Any help is appreciated! Also, the motherboard is a P8Z77-M Pro.

Thanks!

Thank you
Hi

Without the blue screen error code or message it's impossible to tell what is wrong.

Your best bet is to consult a hands-on qualified technician.

Sorry

It can.

"The computer was stuck at 0% for about an hour so I turned it off. After this, it won't send any signal to monitors or power any peripherals"

Then the blue screen? Or was it blue screen, then the stuck at 0%? It isn't adding up!

It was some kind of blue error screen and I think the percent was something to do with fixing it (I dont remember the exact wording)

If it was Win10, just let it run. My machine was tied up for 24hours on an update one time!
