Heyo, appears ive run into an issue regarding my monitor, my computer says its "booting" (the power button is orange) but the monitor refuses to display. The HDD light is off, though I hear it turn on, all ram chips are infact plugged in, its pretty impossible to get work done, please help.

Could you please try another monitor to see if you get a signal ?

I said it was booting in quotation marks, as it had completed starting all components and hardware, but wouldn't output anything to the monitor, and the light remained orange, the color that it shows when it is booting.
Yes I can hear the fan running.

From your description your computer is booting and your operating system seems to be okay. To troubleshoot the situation, check your monitor cables, if they are okay you should first try another monitor to see if you get a signal.

You wrote : "completed starting all components and hardware" without a signal to the monitor, how can you tell ?

I can tell because each component and hardware is warm, I can hear each at startup aswell.

The temperature inside your machine does not mean that it is booting, it just means that your have power. Anyway, when a computer boots properly, it will not list all the hardware.

Try to boot in safe mode, see if you get a signal.

Immediately after the computer is powered on or restarted (usually after you hear your computer beep), tap the F8 key in 1 second intervals.

After your computer displays hardware information and runs a memory test, the Advanced Boot Options menu will appear.

Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode or Safe Mode with Networking and press ENTER

I will be going offline in a couple of minutes and will not be able to continue this discussion for the next 10 hours.

If you get a signal in safe mode, we are on our way to a solution.

Catch you later.
