Hi @medja3far
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP Compaq DC5800 Micro Tower is experiencing a boot issue where the fan runs at full speed but the monitor remains blank. Here are some steps to help troubleshoot the problem:
1. Check Monitor and Connections
- Ensure that the monitor is powered on and properly connected to the PC.
- Try using a different monitor or cable to rule out display issues.
2. Inspect Hardware Components
- RAM: Reseat the RAM modules. If you have multiple sticks, try removing them one at a time and booting with just one to see if one of them is faulty.
- Graphics Card: If there’s a dedicated graphics card, reseat it. If you can, try using the onboard graphics instead.
- Check Connections: Ensure all internal connections (cables, drives, etc.) are secure.
3. Reset BIOS/CMOS
- Locate the CMOS battery on the motherboard and remove it for a few minutes, then reinstall it. This will reset the BIOS settings.
- Alternatively, you can look for a CMOS reset jumper on the motherboard.
4. Listen for Beep Codes
- If your motherboard has a speaker, listen for any beep codes when you turn it on. These can indicate specific hardware issues.
5. Check Power Supply
- Ensure the power supply is functioning properly. If possible, test with another compatible power supply.
6. Perform a Minimal Boot
- Disconnect all peripherals and non-essential hardware (extra drives, USB devices) and try to boot with just the CPU, one stick of RAM, and the onboard graphics.
7. Look for Visual Indicators
- Check for any LED indicators on the motherboard or inside the case that might indicate errors.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
