Hi all, my PC isn’t booting. I’ve had it since 2020, and over its life its had a few issues with graphics. Now, it’s making one long beep then three short beeps, there’s a solid white light on the motherboard, and nothing on the display throughout.

It’s done this in the past, but usually it would work after two or three attempts. Now it’s completely dead. Beep code suggests it’s a GPU issue, either power to the GPU or an internal fault with the GPU itself. Before I have to order replacement parts, is there any testing I can do to diagnose the problem? Thanks!

I replaced the PSU and all power cables to the GPU last year when it had a similar issue, and the GPU itself was also replaced a few years ago so it should all be within its service life.
