This is what happened, I tried connecting my system to my hd tv using an hdmi cable. When I turned on my pc, the only thing on the display was my wallpaper and it was flickering. Icons and task bar didn't show up. Turned it off and hook it back on to my monitor, when I hit power button, pc turned on but there was no beep, no boot, no power on mouse , keyboard, DVD player, and card reader.
Need some advice.

Hi and welcome to the forums,
I'm suspecting a problem with your video card. The first thing I would do is remove and reseat the video card. If that doesn't make a difference, and if you have onboard graphics, I would try pulling the card completely and using the onboard graphics to see if that allows the PC to boot to Windows. If neither of these approaches works you've at least eliminated the video card as the source of the problem.

Does it act like it goes into sleep mode after failed boot?
I had a corsair PSU do that though it would boot using onboard graphics.
Unfortunitly you do not have onboard to try.

No., CPU cooling fan, led lamp on mobo and case fan turns on or stays on though.

There shouldn't be a problem connecting to a tv that I am aware of.
I currently have my main and a backup pc connected via an HDMI connection.
My backup pc had a blu-ray drive and I use it to view movies on my TV.
Try this for grins and giggles.
Completely power down.
And open your psu power switch so your pc won't come on.
Press start button to drain any stored power.
Then unplug the 20-24 pin connector and make sure you reconnect firmly.
Just a shot that a connection from the psu isn't making a proper connection.
If that fails and a possible loaner PSU fails, not sure what else to say about it.
Don't want to recommend replacing something without confidence it will bring the solution.
