Here are my specs:
- Core i7 2600 @ 3.4 Ghz
- Corsair CX 600
- 2 TB Data HDD
- 8 GB Ram
- MSI Afterburner GTX 760 (OC Edition).
I recently upgraded my PC to that. It was working fine perfectly for about a week. Until today, the problem is that whenever I boot up my PC, it turns on, but there is no display on the monitor. Sometimes I boot it up, still no display, the system automatically turns off after a few seconds and turns back on, still no display. I have opened up the case, all of the fans are working, but the LED on my mouse is off.
What happened was, I edited a video, and decided to leave it on to render whilst I go out. Then I came back after a few hours, the PC froze at 61%. And the problem happened from there.
Help is very much appreciated!

Sounds like a RAM problem to me. How many sticks of memory do you currently have in your PC?

That was one problem at the start. When I finished building, the same problem happened. It was the 2 Ram sticks where not on installed properly.
But I checked, the RAM was installed properly.

How many DIMM slots do you have (slots to place memory) on your motherboard?
If you only have two, remove the 2nd stick and leave the 1st one in and try to boot up the PC. If this doesn't work, remove the 1st stick, and put the 2nd stick into the first slot and try again. Let me know what happens.

Probably, if one works and the other doesnt then you found the issue
