            @scottalanmiller Tried that. Also cleared cmos. No change. Still black screen, high fan speed, solid green power light, and indicator 2 and 4 lit.

              Do you have anything plugged into that box that could be removed? Any extra cards, USB or anything like that? If so, remove them.

              If not, likely the mobo is dead.

                  I think that likely the desktop is just dead, then. unless you can acquire a replacement motherboard, of course.

                    @reid-cooper I tend to agree. I will look for something.

                      Probably worth retiring that box. How old is it?

                          Not ancient, but might be time to retire it.

                            @reid-cooper Maybe I can find a cheap mobo and give it a few more years. Thanks for the insight!

                              Possible, if you can find one cheaply.
