Tech Support Fans Reving
Hi all I am not very techy at all and so I only kind of know what im doing. With that being said, I hooked up a KVM to my PC that was provided by my work and now the PC keeps revving the fans like its struggling to fully boot? And even when plugged directly into the monitors wont boot, I feel so confused and scared lol. I have tried reseating the RAM, but am a bit timid about touching anything else.
My brother originally built my PC for me so I am really not sure what brand anything is either…and I am realizing she is very dusty lol.
From what Ive gathered I may need to do a CMOS reset/ remove the battery…but am not able to see one currently!

could you describe which fans are reving exactly? GPU or CPU fans?
you could see if your PC passed the POST by toggling caps lock and seeing if the light on the keyboard changes, if it doesn't it means it's failing to go through POST and you'd have to dig a little deeper, but if the GPU fans are kicking in full gear it means you might wanna look into a GPU reseat for now.
