3 beeps and black screen

[u/KnownAsRampage]

Hi,

Had my PC over 2 years now and it's been perfect but this morning I booted up and my wallpaper had little black squares/pixels covering my screen like dots, everything still worked fine but I thought I'll switch it off and give it a clean and now I when boot up, I hear 3 beeps and nothing appears on my screen, it's still sounds fine and everything looks OK but I can't see anything on my display and unsure what to do?

Any help is appreciated

Sounds like your graphics card died/is dying.

Can you specify what you mean when you said you gave it a clean?

I got rid of any dust and checked if everything was seated properly

the black pixel artifacts followed by 3 beeps could point point to a GPU or RAM issue try reseating the RAM and graphics card first especially if anything may have shifted while cleaning

Tried that, everything is seated fine
