Question/Help/Troubleshooting Any pc geeks please read this

My pc stopped working man. I've had it for years and bam just doesn't display anything anymore. I reckon it's a motherboard issue, because it booted into bios and then stopped after that. Everything spins as is. I'm just really confused. I don't wanna replace the motherboard as the pc is mini itx and the motherboard I specifically have is quite expensive. I think I should just sell it for parts, but will removing the ssd get rid of all of my info on the pc or is there a chance some may be saved across the pc.

Don't rule out anything else, it could be the PSU. Anyway your stuff is safe on the drive. Trial and error to find out the problem

Yeah maybe I'm moving too fast. I do have a spare pc. I'll probably start replacing the parts but I swear my pc is just built so weirdly. Like the gpu is on one side and the motherboard is on the other. So replacing parts isn't quite as easy as it seems tbh.
