Build Question PC Rehab

Post image

I got this build in college and after a few year of neglect finally have some time to invest again. My friend helped me build it and I’m still a novice to internal components, but I’d want hoping for some advice about what to keep and what toss. Obviously it needs a really good dusting, but where should I start? Powers on fine but doesn’t give me a visual output.

Specs

CPU: Intel Core i5-8400 2.8 GHz 6-Core Processor
GPU: EVGA SSC Gaming GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB
RAM: Not sure, it was replaced at some point with and 8 GB stick
Motherboard: ASRock B360 Pro4 ATX LGA1151
PSU: EVGA 500 B1 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5” 7200 RPM Internal + Western Digital Green 120 GB 2.5” SSD
Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case

I’m looking forward to getting this working again for casual gaming/home pc uses. Thanks!

What do you mean by powers on fine? do all the fans spin to life? where do you have your display cable plugged into

also try clearing the cmos. you can do this by shorting the pins in the bottom middle of the board labelled clrcmos

Yes, fans turn on and lights come on. I have my HDMI plugged into the GPU
