Hi everybody,
I've been reading some of the posts here about people having trouble getting to POST, and I thought I would share my experience and see if anyone care share some insight-
I moved recently, and when I set up my PC in the new location, it was having great difficult booting. It would hang on the mobo graphic screen and freeze. The one time it did make it to the windows boot it spontaneously restarted. And then.. it just wouldn't start at all.
The fans and drives all spun, everything lit up, but no beeps and no video. I disconnected everything except the power supply, the mobo, the RAM, the processor (and fan & heatsink) and the video card. Still nothing.
Here's the quirky part- when I pull the RAM, I do get a beep code. One long and two short- video error, if I understand correctly. I ONLY get this code when there is no RAM installed.
What I have tried-
1. Reseated all the RAM, and even bought some new sticks.
2. Tested the powers supply using the manufacturer's recommended technique- remove the 20 pin connector from the mobo and place one end of a paper clip in the green terminal and the other in any black terminal. If it starts, PS is okay.
3. reseated the video card. Unfortunately I can't find my old card (just moved, alot of stuff still packed and MIA)
4. Cleaned out the heat sink. It's firmly attached.
5. Flashed the BIOS, not just with the jumper, but I also pulled the battery and the power overnight.
6. reconfigured the power cables, on the off chance that the cable to the VC was bad.
What I suspect-
1. Bad video card. But again, it worked fine before I moved, but it may have been damaged by...
2. Bad electrics in my new computer room. I do have the power running into a surge protector and through a battery backup, but the power outlet is old and I had to add a grounded adaptor. And I did ground the adaptor. Also, I have tried to power it from a newer part of the house with proper grounded outlets. No dice.
3. Bad mobo, again perhaps caused by #2.
And before I forget, here are the specs
Mobo - Asus P4S800D-X
Video Card - Chaintech GeForce 7300GT
Power Supply - Thermaltake TR2-430W
RAM - I've swapped in and out two different sets, one old, one new, so I'm confident enough in the RAM to call it moot.
Please note, nothing was added or removed. The PC was not dropped or ever handled by anyone but myself in the move. I even buckled into the front seat with me
Any insight, thoughts, or wild guesses anyone oculd offer would be greatly appreciatted!
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Hey CC,
Thanks for the quick response!
I've tried reconnecting all of the cables. I have not tried reseating the heat sink, because... lets just say the reviews on newegg about Arcticcool Freezer being hard to install are not overstated in the least. I've not tried reaseat the whole mobo either. I screwed it in there myself with the proper risers, and it is firmly in place (ie, no shifting.)
Interesting side note- I just tried booting it with no video card and no ram, just power and the CPU, and I still got the One-long-two-short Video Error code. Maybe it's not the video card but the mobo's agp port? :-/
My Asrock K7S8X, AMD+ 2.1, 512 MB PC has always run fine, but now it starts ok although the fan seems to be racing on, then the post beep, fine, then just as the fan starts to slow and the resultant volume deceases from the aforesaid fan, a second post-style beep occurs. I have a program called MotherBoardMonitor which tells me that the minimum speed for the fan is 2500RPM, my CPU temp is (approx) 47 to 54 , Mobo temp around 31, what could the problem be, i cant find any specific info on the net after hours of looking, thanks for any help, G
Before you do anything else reseat your RAM modules. If this doesn't fix it go back to basics - disconnect everything from your mobo except graphics card, power and RAM does it boot the monitor on start up? If not and you only have 1 ram module fitted beg or borrow another and try that - if you have 2 ram modules try them one at a time on their own. Post back when done and adviseRgds2 more replies
I am getting beep sounds when i turn on my dell inspiron n5010.
Nothing is showing up other than beep sounds.
Please help me out
Hi Ganny,
What are the exact # of beeps in a cycle?
Kindly review this chart and see page# 47 - it will help isolate the source of the issue.
Based on the exact # of beeps, that part would need to be replaced.
Also, please click my DELL-username and write me a private message with the service tag and your Name for case records.
Let us know if you have any other queries.
My laptop here is a Dell Inspiron 15, 3000 series.
The laptop itself works perfectly fine, I am able to get into windows (which I installed myself, it originally came with Ubuntu).
Occasionally though, it will do a BEEP BEEP BEEP PAUSE BEEP BEEP BEEP PAUSE (repeats).
This happens on boot and sometimes when I am using it. Sometimes it turns off suddenly when I am shifting the computer around. It's extremely loud.
What is causing this? The sound seems to be coming from around the area the Memory banks are under the laptop, but nothing seems to suggest that anything is wrong.
I took a suggestion and used FN+Power to do Hardware Diagnostics which said nothing is wrong.
What else can I try?
I'd suggest that you follow the steps mentioned below and check if the beep pattern repeats.
Switch off the computer.
Disconnect the AC adapter from the system.
Remove the battery from the computer.
Press and hold down the power button for 15 seconds.
Then connect back all the peripherals and check if the beep pattern repeats and reply us with the beep count.
If you still receive 3 Beeps on the system then it indicates System board failure.. You will have to replace it on the laptop.
Please let me know the findings.
Sys: W2K, SP4; IE6, 512megs SDRAM, 1.2 gig AMD Athlon CPU, ECS K7SEM mobo, Award 6 Bios.
Problem: Upon system startup, power comes on, but nothing else--no beep to indicated the system has entered POST. After several tries, it will finally beep and the harware will come to life.
Once working it will usually keep working as you'd normally expect as power cycle to work. It's mainly after sever hours of being off and now always, over night that the error occurs--no power to the hardware, until several tries.
History: Recently been hit with many Trojans & viruses. They've made it past my NAT router, past my software firewall and have taken apart my McAfee AV program. But they have been contained, before they could do any damage, so I hoped, except I just got a bounced email yesterday, that shows I have been spoofed and my address book copied and is being sent to. So a Trojan got in.
I have SpyBot S&D, Ad-aware, McAfee VS8, two firewalls going. I have cleaned all the viruses/Trojans off the system, out of the registry with S&D, Ad-Aware, VS8, Trendmicros VS and Pandasofts VS programs. As well as using CWShreeder, MRU Blaster, BHO removers, HiJackThis.
The system is clean. no hidden files, every thing ok. It doesn't seem to be an OS problem.
A week ago, my power supply went out.
I replaced it.
It's since replacing it and getting all the viurs/trojan hits that the problem has begun.
I thought it might be the new PS, so I put in another, ... Read more

Hello.I have been reading with interest some of the causes of a PC to fail to boot into windows, when the usual single POST BEEP is missing.I have this problem, but what i cannot understand is why switching off the PC by holding in the silver button for a few seconds, then switching off the rocker switch on the back of the PC, leaving for a few seconds, and switching back on cures the problem every time - i.e the computer then boots into windows succesfully.I am not sure whether to just keep performing this action or to look at the cause( maybe a memory problem ). As yet i have not run a memory test programme.My PC is a Microland Tech CB150 - Running Windows XPMany ThanksPaul

My Dell Dimension 4100 emits a single beep during the POST on every boot-up. Dell Tech support site says it's a memory refresh failure, and to re-seat the memory modules. I've done this, as well as test each of the two modules separately, and have also inserted a third memory module. In all cases I still get the single beep on boot-up. (The PC hangs up regularly, doesn't always shut down properly, and sometimes hangs on startup.)
What else could be the cause of the beep, and how to fix it?

i've assembled a pc which will not start. it came as a case/mobo/cpu/fan/memory fully assembled. i've added a hdd and 2 optical drives and a floppy drive. when i power up the fan spins and the power light is on and the hdd light flashes. on the screen the memory count is shown and the drives are detected. there is no post beep and when i press del to enter setup nothing happens. it is a good keyboard. i have tried clearing cmos by resetting the clear cmos jumper and tried swapping memory sticks with known good memory to no avail i just cannot get into cmos or any further than the screen which shows that the drives have been detected. can anyone help, please.
No post beep!case speaker connected?However if it gets to POST screen where drives are detected then motherboard cpu psu memory are ok.Next it should access operating system from either CD floppy or HDD, depending on how set up in BIOS.There will be an message to tell you which keys to press to enter "setup" something like del esc F10 etc.If your HDD is from an old system has it got an op system installed?If so then the drivers for the old boards will conflict with the new.Either:no op system then boot from CD or floppy and install windowsold op system boot from CD or floppy and format drive and install new op system.6 more replies
My computer turns on, but I get no Post Beeps nor does it display anything on the screens, plz help.
I had the same problem with my first build. After reading the owners manual for the motherboard i figured out the mobo was shorting out to the case. I took the mobo with the vid card, cpu and fan installed out of the case, and set it on a wooden desk and powered it up. After getting a new case and reinstalling all the hardware everything worked fine.7 more replies
I had a problem weeks ago where my video card would stop responding. ATI Driver tool can recover from this error. A week later after the initial problem occured, my motherboard wont post anymore it wont sound a beep neither. I tried swapping PSUs but didnt help either.
My question is, wont the motherboard post without a video card or with a broken video card? I dont want to buy a video card when my motherboard could be the actual problem

ok heres the problem, he wanted to upgrade th evideo card, so we took the one out of anothe rputer he has, the card is a chaintech geforce fx 5200 256 mb agp card. Once it was installed, and we made sure it was seated properly and checked everything else, we tried to boot.....nothing, no beep codes or anything. The fans came on, the drives started up, but screen stayed black and no boot. So, just to double check we put the mx card in, and it booted. I know there is the AGP comp driving settings in BIOS, and it was set at auto. Do we maybe need to adjust that? And if so, to what? thanks in advance.
Did you check for compatiblity on that new card .There are two different voltage rate for AGP 1.5 and 3. something I don't know your MB but if it is older it may not be compatible.
Well I reinstalled Win XP and it froze on installing your network. After fifteen minutes I did a hard boot. No post beep and the monitor states Monitor G, Check your signal cable or cpu. I switched the following to parts that I know work, all new, (video card, and mother board). Checked the monitor on another system. It is fine. Still the same thing. The system will turn on and I hear it counting, the hard drives are working and the CPU fan is working. But, still no post beep and the monitor says the same thing. Now we are down to either the RAM or CPU and maybe power supply? Or maybe a short in the case. Anyone have any ideas? This is baffeling. As I said, I hear it counting and hard drives spin and the CPU fan spins. But, it turns on just that to turn it off, you have to unplug it. CPU maybe or case or other ideas?Thanks,Don

Hi all,
My first post....great place!
I got a friends comp coz he wanted me to format and do a fresh install. He had a bunch of programs that was conflicting with each other. Anyway when I got it I thought I would just try to uninstall some programs. Long story short it gave me a blue screen "stop error". When I tried to re-boot it doesn't post and it doesn't give me a beep. It just turns on for a few seconds and shuts off. Could the power supply be failing?
Any input is appreciated.

Hey guys, good forum you have here, i'm learning a lot.
Normally i can fix a broken pc but this one im puzzled with.
I have a Pentium 3, slot 1 Xblade computer with an Intel M/B which will not display a bios screen or beep. Sorry I can't give more detail, the pc is not mine.
I've rejigged the memory, took out all pci cards, tried another agp card, tried another monitor, removed all IDE's, tried another PSU, renewed the cmos, and then the final step was I replaced the whole motherboard using paper washers just in case it was shorting.
Still the same result, as soon as I plug in the PC, it starts on its own accord and alls I get is the red HD activity light on permanent. All the fans and PSU spin as normal, just no Display whatsoever.
The only thing I can think of is dead processor (rare) or faulty case.
Any ideas or suggestions please?

There is no beep after successful POST. Everything is OK, just no beep.
The mobo is Gigabyte GA-7VT600-1394 with Award bios. I cannot see a speaker on the mobo but it is plugged in to the case speaker anyway.
Is this normal for this board?
My son put the PC on. It smelt of smoke so he put it off.Later I put it on, no smell but no display. CPU fan spins, RAM LED on motherboard comes on, CD drive lights flashes, hard disk light on front of case comes on. But no display and no POST beep.1. Replaced the graphics card with one from a working PC, same result, no dispaly, no POST beep. Put graphics card back and other PC still works.2. Replaced the PSU with one from an identical working PC, same result, no display, no POST beep. Put PSU back and other PC still works.3. Checked the with another untested monitor, same result.4. Ran test on original monitor result 'test good' signal rec'd.5. Decided that something on the motherboard or CPU had gone awol so this evening replaced both with brand new items.6. Put PC back together with the known working PSU (just in case the original had been the initial problem) from the other PC, and guess what, no display, no POST beep.With no POST beep and no dispaly I don't know where to go next.Anyone any ideas?
Try stripping it down to a skeleton system out of the case (on the bench) with just motherboard, CPU, heatsink, fan, one RAM module, graphics card, hard drive and PSU. See if you can get a display, Ollyolly.10 more replies

As a last resort If I have to replace the motherboard, what should I look for? Thanks in advance.

If you remove the ram it should beep when you power on, if not, then it's most likely a bad system board. Did you have any problems before you did the updates/repairs?

No Post, No Beep. Bad MoBo?
after reading many threads about this subject i feel i should describe the problem i'm having, to know what my course of action should be.
i don't know for sure what was the cause of the malfunction but it started as system lock-ups and now the computer won't even power up. it seemed like video-card problems at first, because everything would freeze when i tryed to watch movies, and video problems could be noticed. yesterday after trying to deal with this video problem in lots of ways, i tryed to turn the computer on and nothing happened, no beeps and no post. when i push the power button the cpu fan and the psu fan rotate for half a second and then stop. i have to cut the power to the psu and reconnect it in order to try again. sometimes the power does go through but still no beep or post.
i tryed removing the cmos battery (all the removing done with power off in case you were wondering) and replacing it later, changing the jumpers to reset the bios (after doing those things i started getting more power ons than before), taking all out except what is absolutelly necessary, leaving only the cpu. tryed adding the ram, then tryed adding the video card... nothing works. i wonder if the video-card is needed for the POST BEEP to be heard. anyway, the main reason why i'm posting this is because i wanted to find out what is the defective piece here, as i suspect the mobo, the PSU, video-card or CPU (or RAM?).

My ram is ddr pc 2700 pin and i have 512 of it I've checked all the leds and everything is connect right I've gone over them a ton. Could it be the bios problem. Anyone have any solutions
Check the clear CMOS jumper isn't set to clear CMOS some motherboard manufacters set the jumper that way to save on battery life.
I understand that this means there is a system board error. I have a very good reason to believe that the BIOS had an issue (when I checked it before this happened, it had 75 boot options listed and said the volitale memory was almost full). Question: can I somehow force the BIOS to reset itself? Is there a pin short I can use for this? Of course I am 2 weeks out of warranty :/ I assume if I sent it in they would just charge for a boarsd swap... likely $500-$600 dollars. Thanks for any help!
1-3-3-1 means no memory. If you have 2 DIMMs, try with just one, then just the other. When you try with just one DIMM, it needs to go into slot-0. When you have the machine sitting lid-down and the battery compartment away from you, slot-0 is the one on the right.9 more replies

Good Morning All, I have a T61 7662-CTO with 4GB RAM, 100GB HDD, Vista Ultimate x64, NVIDIA Quadro 128mb. At POST I'm receiving a beep code, one long, two short beeps. After a very unproductive call with IBM/Lenovo support I was advised to run the PC Doctor diagnositic tool which says that my memory, video card and mainboard is fine. Two months ago the mainboard was replaced, and the system has been working fine. This issue started on Tuesday and the first time it occured a BSOD appeared upon login, and unfortunately I wasn't able to take the error in enough time before the memory dump. Any thoughts on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
Go to Solution.
1 long, 2 short is an error with the video adapter. This isn't specific to IBM systems either, that code is the same for pretty much every BIOS out there. If you let the memory dump finish you can probably still find it on the system and analize it now. If your settings are for a full dump it can be found in %WINDIR%\Memory.dmp and a partial dump would be found in %WINDIR%\Minidump\%DATE%.dmp.3 more replies

I posted this elsewhere and have since discovered that place was inappropriate; sorry.
Fixing an old machine, p3 phoenix bois, and it boots with a single beep, and seems fine until it initialises the keyboard. What transpires i can only describe as an angry successive beeping that develops into a seemingly continuous beep. The background is bizare, at least as far as i understand it, a client brought in 2 machines, the first had swolen caps on the board, which we replaced, and ran successfully for some time. However, the keyboard began to stutter with beeps after post and after re aligning the pins also worked fine. Subsequently, the client brought the first back, the keyboard had begun beeping again, only with more intensity and irregularity, simmilar to a stuck key but more erratic. I sent the client away with a new keyboard and success. However, the client returned again, reporting that the beeps had begun again 4 or 5 days later. Again I replaced the keyboard with, and no beeps. Subsequently the client brought in a second machine reporting that the first had persisted with its beeping issue, and that he had chosen to use another machine at his disposal. As it turns out the second computer had the same issue, solved at least initially with the replacement of the keyboard. The problem still persists however, and seems to have gradually worsend over time. In both cases the same original keyboard may have been used by the client, in the case of the first machine the keyboa... Read more
You sure this client isn't messing with you and has somehow caused this? Are there any *.bat files or something similar that have some code in them to cause this? I guess last but not least, is this an error code that the bios is throwing you due to heat problems or something of the sort.
Just seems a little suspicious.
I am trying to build a new system using my athlon mp-1200 or duron-1200 both are basically new and unused. I have tryed both on 3 boards (actually 6 all to geather) which I can not get to post or make any sound or send a signal to the monitor. These boards are uninstalled. I am using a power supply with Output: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] from what I have read this is more than enough. The heatsink fan comes on, starts to pol the hardware-keyboard flashes then nothing. I have tryed 1 stick of memory (Kingston DDR 2700) changed slots and with no memory still nothing, no sound. The Athlon MP gets warm as do the chipsets. For wiring I have only a speaker (tryed 3 dif) and an on/off switch. I have built many other AMD systems, however none with an Athlon MP processor. The motherboard I bought to go with the Athlon mp-1200 is a Biostar M7VIZ which states "support for Paliminos" I can not believe none of these boards will post but they do not. Any ideas?

I similarly just put in a AGP graphics card & got the same (without doing RAM at the same time). Any advice welcome. Incidentaly it runs XP with 512mb ram in either slot, I've another 512mb to install - it wont boot with that in either slot on its own, or either combination with the existing memory.

OK , no post, no beep, no boot, no clue. I have a hp dc5100 desktop pc. Intel inside 3.2Ghz , 1gig ram, all factor except some upgrade on the ram by a tech quite some time ago. I left my pc on overnight as usuall, next morning nothing on the monitor. I left it on with screensaver, not in hibernation or sleep mode. No response. so I rebooted and nothing, except the following, power light came on with fans , cd led blinks etc, but no video no post, no boot?.
I tried all the troubleshooting guidlines i know and such listed on HPs' site. Ram is good, monitor is good. with all perifials disconected. Mainboard led is on.I tried an external video card. I tried clearing the cmos. made sure connections and cables are good. cpu cooler is warm to touch. video chip warm to touch. I completley disconected all power cables, pulled cmos battery,pulled all jumpers and used the cmos reset button on the mainboard, in various sequences. restored all to original state and still... Pwer up renders no video, no post or beep sequence. P.S. when i try bootup with no ram i do get beeps for memory fault so speaker is working. I havn't come across this before as I usually run AMD on an ASUS mainboard and I'm not familiar with HP. Any suggestions of what i may have missed are gretly appreciated thank you.
1st thing is to try a different/new power supply

I restarted, POST gave me no errors but i was still unable to get into windows, I put my disk in and attempted to repair my installation and once again it wouldn't load, I got to loading necessary files etc (With the bar at the bottom) then the PC restart after that..
I'm thinking it could be a hard drive issue, I've got a spare old hdd i can try, but before i pull apart my PC i thought id ask here.

HiI often get continuous 5sec beeps seperated by 2/3 secs on powering up. This continues until the power is turned off by pressing power button for 5secs or using on/off switch (haven't let it continue for more than 20secs). Upon powering up next time it usually starts up OK.The pc often stalls/freezes (usually while using Internet Explorer/Outlook Express but can be restarted using RESET button.System (built locally by firm no longer around!!) described by Belarc Advisor as OS XP Home (SP2)CPU 2.55GhZ Intel CeleronMOBO RC410SB400 (MSI/PCI Express??)HDD SATA HDS728080PLA380RAM Infineon 512mb SDRAMBIOS Phoenix Technologies LTD 6.00 PG 09/23/2005Have looked on forum/WEB with little success as I have so little info on system components.

Hi again,
Fixed the old problem of the computer rebooting.. I just gave up and awaited a new CPU through the post.
Fitted the new CPU, now when I boot it up I'm not getting any POST beeps or display through monitor.
I've read topics around tinternet and everybody says it's mobo or CPU.
The mobo is less than a month old, and the CPU came two days ago.. I'm pretty confident that it is neither of them (if it turns out to be.. I won't be surprised though)
I've ran a basic boot with only mobo, CPU and HDD's attached.. same problem
Checked the pins on the processor and in the CPU slot, all seem pretty good. All wires that are supposed to be connected are connected so can't see a problem there.
I also disassembled and rebuilt the PC while it was completely unplugged on the floor, so don't think I shorted anything...
Please somebody help

I put everything together, hit the power button...... no beep or video. I don't have my CD drive hooked up, put only 1 stick of memory in. made sure all connectors are pushed in firmly. whats going to be my first step of diagnosis. I can hear my HD click once if that helps. All fans are running(psu/video card/hsf/case fans)
Got it to post correctly with 1 beep, now the screen is garbled and pixelated. One message that I happened to catch was something about Express Gate.. Anyone have information about that? I can only see the begining splash screen that says ASUS P6T Deluxe V2, after that initial screen, you cant make out much of anything... yikes!
Recently moved, and just before I moved I'm not exactly sure what happened but the electrics (but not the lights) in the house cut out, until housemate did something at the fusebox, so either may have damaged something.
I've reseated RAM and video card, reset CMOS battery and checked cables. Fans and lights come on, if I take RAM out I hear long beeps during POST but still no boot.
Any help appreciated
Clear the CMOS (using both methods as described below) if you have a power shutdown, that might help you get going.Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.
Hit the ON button (power button) on the case to remove any residual power.
Remove the onboard motherboard battery.
Move the Jumper Cap from pins 1 & 2 (default) to pins 2 & 3. Keep the cap on pins 2 & 3 for ten seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1 & 2.
Reinstall the Battery.
Plug in the power cord and turn on the computer.
Hold down the DEL key and enter the bios setup menu to re-enter data.
Notes: Some motherboards use different key combinations to enter the bios setup menu.
There are also some motherboards that you can simply push a button to achieve the same as moving the jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3 and then moving the jumper back.
In addition, there are some boards that you simply use a screwdriver to short across the two jumper pins (no jumper), but this serves the same a removing the jumper and replacing it to adjacent pins.
Hi everyone,I have a problem with four identical pc's approximately 2 years old at work. Pentium 4, celeron 2.2, Bio-star U8668-D motherboard with 256 mb ram. When the pc is powered on all fans come on but get no beeb from computer. I checked all the connections, disconnected cd rom, floppy, hard disc etc. to no avail. I cleared cmos using jumper and managed to get pc to start. If left for a few minutes, it is a hit and miss affair for the pc to start. I have tried to replace cmos battery CR2032 but it has not made any difference. If I try to start, I may have to make 5/6 attempts before I get the beep and post etc.Does anyone here have any suggestions.
I'm surprised that you have identical problems with all PC's. Sounds a bit like a power supply issue... If all your computers are acting in the same manner then is the mains electrical supply up to the job, have you added any other electrical equipment to the office electrical circuities?You could try turning off any piece of equipment that is using the mains supply and then with just one computer switched on, see if you can get this up and running if you can I would consider calling a electrician in to sort out the mains supply.I have in my time overloaded my mains electrical supply (a bungalow that was built in the early 60's so electrics wasn't up to ruining electrical goods of the 90's)turned the tumble dryer on, and blow SWEBS fuse and not my fuse box... Had to have SWEB come out and replace there fuse to get everything up and ruining again...8 more replies
Ok I have 2 issues that are, I believe, related.
1) When booting the computer the bios stops and gives a never ending stream of short
beeps. I entered the Bios to aid my diagnostics and seeing no issues I exited without
changing any settings. Computer booted normally.
2) Once Windows had booted there was another issue. booting was taking forever and I
quickly found that any processes that started would replicate itself. The programs
would continue replication till the computer's memory overflowed and crashed the
I am leading toward the MB or attached sub system. but since I have never run into this issue before I figured I would ask here and see if I can learn from someone's experience with this issue.Any help is appreciated.

I've got a friends old p4 here to work on.. but it needs a little more expertiese than I can donate.
With everyting in the computer.. It won't post.. The hard drive light flashes, but the monitor never cuts on. It's not giving error beeps either. When it starts, it just sits there. First thoughts were the video card.. then ram.. I've swapped vid cards.. I've taken both sticks of ram out and tried them individually. With the ram out.. it actually gives an error beep. (3 long beeps to be specific) Thats the only way I can get the bios to give a sign that it's trying. It doesn't beep with the vid card out. (possibly because it does have onboard.. even if it's disabled..) I tried the onboard video.. still nothing.
Any other ideas short of starting over with a new motherboard and processor? My friend is a bit strapped for cash so I'm already trying to save him some money. $200 isn't part of the fix atm.
The RAM could be preventing the system from booting tho It should beep if it's bad.
So the PC doens't beep when the ram in but beeps with the ram out? Everything else in the system for it to beep just ram missing?
I recently upgraded my PC case and replaced a DVD-RW, and now on boot-up I am coming-up with a POST beep (at least I assume it is) that I can't find in the list provided by this site. Aside of the new DVD-RW, all of my hardware remains exactly the same.The beep is continuously alternating between a low and high tone, and both tones occur for the same period of time. The strange thing is that despite this beep, my PC appears to function normally and boots/lets me log into Windows XP just fine. After being on for approximately four minutes, the PC shuts itself off.I have isolated the MoBo from my hard drives and DVD drives and the issue still continues. Since it does boot normally, and seems to fail as Windows is finishing its boot process while my RAM is being sucked-up with all of the programs that initialize during start-up, could this be a RAM issue?I am using a Phoenix BIOS.Thanks for your help in advance.

I Tested Video card in another PC, replaced power supply and tested SSD, Still no display. It powers up and stays running. There is no embedded speaker on the Motherboard. I guess that leaves the processor or MB?
I sent the MOBO in for repair, received it yesterday and reinstalled. I am bread-boxing and still no video.
I installed an internal speaker. No post beeps unless both sticks of RAM are out; then I get continuous short beeps. So far new power supply and MOBO. I tried posting with no peripherals. My computer starts, the PS fans run, the heat sink fan on CPU runs... Is there a way to test the CPU?
I took a stick of RAM from another PC, same results
so when you have all RAM out, you get post beep but with RAM in, no beep at all?
Do you have onboard VGA connector you can try?
You sent in the mobo, but did they do anything to it at all?
If you are able, reseat the CPU. Not sure there's any other way to test it other than to swap processors or test your processor on another PC.

The least expensive (free ) and quickest test would be to borrow a known good PSU of the same or greater wattage and swap it in there overnight to test...Also if that MBoard has onboard and there is a vid card involved remove the vid card and use the onboard to see if the card may be the culprit...Good Luck and keep us posted.2 more replies

The lights flash on the HDD and CD and DVD and then the machine restarts again several times before getting to the POST beep. Once the POST beep has sounded then Windows XP loads as usual.I have checked the connections inside and outside the PC but have not reseated any cards or cables yet.

Let me start off here... XP Pro, 2.8G, 1Gig RAM, 5 year old E-machine which mother board I've replaced since then.
Two days ago my computer wasn't working and gave me a Unmountable STOP Error blue screen. So I fixed that by repairing my Master boot record, but after that I had my computer up and running. So I took this time to defrag my computer, so I left to work while it was defraging when I came back I turned on the monitor to see if it was done(which it should have been by that time several hours later) and found my computer off altogether. So I started checking a few things and when I turned on my computer my monitor would not get a signal and it would give me three POST beeps about 3 seconds long each, but the CPU Fan would come on and my hard drives sounded like they were working and the PSU fan would come on. So I figured it was my CPU that over heated or shorted out, I had in the past never had luck with my mother board. Then I went and got another CPU and replaced it in my computer re hooked everything back up and turned it on it sounded like it was working but again I got one POST beep and then my computer will turn off. And again the monitor would not get a signal for the 5 seconds total its on, after thinking about it I'm thinking that it might be a PSU issue but I will have to wait till I get another one to test it out.

Hi, I'm new here.
My nephew asked me to look at his PC because I'm the family computer expert
But I can't fix it so my reputation is in tatters. If you can make any suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
It's a desktop PC running Vista, about four years old. When turned on there's no display and it immediately beeps. It's a long beep repeated continuously.
The motherboard is by Foxconn (N15235) and after rooting around their web site I found that this indicates a RAM error.
I replaced all the RAM cards and the cmos battery but to no avail.
Possibly the motherboard is faulty, but I can't test that.
Ideas gratefully accepted.
Try to only put in the minimal amount of RAM sticks required (usually two) and if you have another computer that you a verify the RAM in, all the better. If you can rule out the RAM, then it's the motherboard. The memory controllers are complex pieces of silicon and it they are the fault, you'll get the same beep error.
Hey, i got my Gigabyte EP43-DS3L motherboard today, so i put all my hardware in the motherboard, as you do. All working fine in the old motherboard apart from the CPU which was brand new.
I'm almost sure i connected everything connectly, but when i start up it just spins the fans and LED comes on, the graphics card fan is much faster and louder than previous too.
I don't get any image on my monitor and there are 4 LEDs that say Phase next to them on the motherboard
Phase 1 is green, phase 2 is green, phase 3 is orange and phase 4 is red. I'm not sure if that means anything.
Wnat could be wrong guys? Everythign appears to be plugged in and working, just the motherboard isn't startign up Cheers

Well my main computer quit today. It's an MSI K7N2 Delta 2 platinum with an EVGA GEForce 7800GS card. Athlon 3200+ XP CPU.
It won't POST. No video at all.
I keep getting a long Beep on boot up - I have removed / reseated memory sticks, reseated the graphics card, reset the CMOS (by pulling the jumper).
The manual doesn't describe the DLINK beep code of just 1 long beep. The closest it says is 1 long beep followed by short beeps. I'm not getting short beeps.
I'm getting power, but no video at all.
Basically I need to know if my video card or PSU has failed and what the DLINK error beep is. I have a generic 600W PSU and the system has run for at least 2 years straight - 24/7
I got some beeps the other day when playing a game, but the beeps went away. I have a bad feeling the video card quit on me. Any ideas? I'm thinking PSU might not be giving enough juice now that it's old.
Hi Tedster.
Sorry to hear you`re having major problems.
I`m not sure what you mean by a DLINK beep.
My first guess would be either a bad psu/bad mobo.
Disconnect anything not required to boot your system and see what happens.

Two WD HDDs (250GB each)
Sony DVD+/-R DL burner
WinXP Professional
450w PSU
GeForce 4400ti vid card
I usually leave my PC on for long lengths of time (2-4 weeks at a time), and last night I awoke to my PC making long beeping noises, so when I got up and checked on it it acted like it was shutdown (no lights on case, and monitor light was amber/yellow), but the beeps were still going on... so I shut down the power going to the case and went back to bed. Later today when I got home from work I flipped on my PC and before the monitor even popped on I heard the beep again.. so I waited .. another beep... and no POST... and the beeping continued... (long beep over and over)
So I yanked my master HDD (along with my burner and my video card) out of it and put it into my wife's PC (where I am now), so I could come and ask you all what you thought it was, but before running straight here I stopped by Biostar's site and various other motherboard sites to see what the beeping could mean.
I read that a series of siren-like beeps (hi/low beeps) meant there was something wrong with my heatsink/CPU, and a long beep over and over means that RAM is bad (I guess that is what I read), so here is what I did...
For good measure: I first removed the CMOS jumper from 1-2 and put it on 2-3 for 5 seconds (Biostar said... Read more
to start out, its not the PSU. A dead PSU will give you nothing at all, at least in my experience.
You're correct in thinking that 5 seconds is short to clear CMOS, i usually put the jumper in clear position and remove the battery for at least 30 seconds-- but it seems you've tried that too.
Have you tried with only 1 stick of RAM (alternate, in case one is the culprit)? Can you get your hands on another stick of DDR RAM that will fit just for testing purposes?
I wouldnt imagine it was a fried CPU, though you might want to pull the heatsink off to check.
Lets keep troubleshooting so we can try to fix this, but keep in mind that Biostar has not had a great name for a number of years now, and I have heard quite a few stories of their Motherboards crappin out.
My other topic went unnoticed but I've managed to downsize the problem a bit in the meantime.
Issue: No POST beep thus no display on monitor
How it happened: Computer's been fine for months - pulled out video card - dusted off all fans - put it back in - no POST beep.
What I've tried:
Reattaching the video card several times and cleaned for dust on and around socket/card. Reseating RAM and booting with each chip.
Cleared CMOS (I think, ~30 seconds on CLR RTC (should it be a full minute?))
Making sure that all cables are properly connected (they should be as I didn't detach any internal ones initially)
Any ideas?

You probably toasted the motherboard. Nice pink font... You must be a nice woman
Hi there I'm new here and would like some advice. I've just purchased a bare boned R40 with no ram, hdd or cards. It was advertised as "posts to BIOS" but I've not been able to get it working. I've added correct memory using both slots, one stick tried on each side, with battery and without, power x 10 plus 30 etc etc. All I get is usual LED lights, fan spin then just power and battery light. When you power off you do get a tiny click but no life in the screen. Any suggestions how to test and see if the system board is fried? Jaba x
First, I am making an assumption that the board came with a CPU. The reason I am asking is that R40 came with both Pentium 4 and Pentium M CPUs. The CPU must match the board. The most basic test is to pull all the RAM and try to start. You should get a beep pattern 1-3-3-1.6 more replies

As you probably know it?s not easy to say what could be wrong exactly.
But for me it looks like a CPU or motherboard problem.
In both case it?s advisable to contact a notebook technician for a notebook check.
In worst case the motherboard must be replaced and such affair is very costly.
I tried to add a 256MB PC2100 DIMM to an eMachine T1842 - and on power up, I instantly get a POST-audio-only response of beep sequence 1-3-3-1 ..... what's it trying to tell me ? (My old manuals don't have that beep sequence!) Thanks. Bob.
Judging by Phenix Bios, it seems to be a memory problem..
The computer was built from scratch, specs are as follows...
VIA mainboard
P4 1.8 Ghz
120 GB 7200rpm IBM HD
1x 512 pc2100 DDR Ram
52x Sony CD-ROM
32x10x40x Sony CD-RW
GeForce 4 MX 440 64mb
1.44" Floppy Drive
mice, keyboard, etc...
crammed into a case with a P4 power supply... i think it's 350 watts.
It was built for a friend who's going off to college in a few weeks. It worked fine, got the operating system installed (Win2k) and all the software (word processor, etc). Loaded some pictures, set the settings to the person's preference and installed all drivers for everything. Then into a box it went, ready to go.
That was 3 weeks ago.
Hooked it up to let friend know where I had put some files and how to use the burner... a quick tutorial of the new system. The thing is, it won't start.
When powering on, all the lights come on on the case, on the CD drives, and you can hear the hard drive powering on too, all fans spinning and operational. The floppy however, does not beep or light up. The annoying part is the motherboard beeps for a really long time, pauses, and repeats. The monitor never recieves a signal, so it remains in standby. I tried a different floppy and reconnected it, same thing. Long beeeeeep... no POST beep. Everything else lights up / powers up though.
It was working fine and dandy before... superly fast too. Need help! Can't seem to get it up again
Much appreciated, thanks!

For the first problem I've run into the same with an MS optical type here where you would either end up removing and then reinstalling the software or check for a newer version at the company's support site. You can that type of problem with just about any type of programmable input device.
The second problem especially hearing a beep when pressing a key is typical for reaching the end of a text window and no more letters, numbers, characters can be entered or no place to put anything since no window is open. Generally that's not the board itself but a sound assigned in Windows.

Ok. I'm making slight progress on the system I'm working on. I moved some flat cables around and finally got my system to respond. Only it gives short intermittent beeps that continue for as long as the system is powered up. Any suggestions?
Hi again, Joe, if you'll keep posting to the same thread, everyone will be able to follow what you've already tried, so we won't suggest it again.
Here's the thread so everyone knows what's up.
Now, for the beeps, how far does the system boot?
Make sure keyboard is very snuggly attached, mouse, monitor (is it getting power?) and the video card is securely in it's slot. After doing this, try moving the video card to a different slot and see if that makes any difference (unless of course, it's an AGP card).
Have 2 computers abit Kt7 mobos both built exactly the same cases power supplies etc. They both developed the same problem some time ago, that is to get them to boot, a lot of the time after switching on I have to pull out or disconnect power and retry several times before they will eventually give the boot peep and come to life. Could this be power supply battery on motherboard or are the just old and worn out. Thoughts suggestions appreciated.
If you haven't replaced the CMOS battery on the motherboard yet give that a try. It would eliminate a simple problem that can cause your symptoms.
I get about 5 to 10 seconds of "on" time. My CPU fan and case fans start turning. Sounds like it's booting up, but then I get no beep, no post, and then the PC just shuts off. Then it attempts to start up again, and the same thing happens.
I've disconnected literally everything with the exception of swapping out my CPU or my motherboard. I'm hoping that neither of those are the issue. Both are about 2 yrs old. Here is a picture of how I've tried to boot in narrowing down the issue:
My PSU is a Corsair TX850, and it's brand new. I did however try another PSU that is functional, and the same thing happened. I've tried swapping RAM modules. Stock fan is in the picture in replace of the Corsair H80 I recently installed. I've tried to boot using my SSD, and my HDD. I can't boot to disk, either.
I installed these new parts, and had my PC built and assembled and working. I booted, installed Windows, played around a bit. Then powered down, moved the PC around on my desk, and now I can't boot back up.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Can you see any noticeable damage to the board itself or the USB ports on the board that may be shorting the board out ? any blown capacitors etc?
Dismantled PC (removed peripherals and power) for about a month due to house renovations. :cry
Re-mantled it (?) and it won't boot. :cry
Power LED and HDD LED on front come on, but no POST beep, and no signal to monitor. No LED on motherboard lighting up. Pretty sure it has one. Power supply and CPU fans run ok.
Removed the following: two graphics cards (running two monitors, and onboard graphics is shot - I've run it like this for more than a year), HDD, RAM, DVD reader, floppy reader, all USB items, monitor, mouse, keyboard. No beeps at any stage.
Removed CMOS battery and tested voltage - very low. Tried a new battery and no change - no beeps. :cry
Left battery out for about half an hour then replaced it - no change.
Removed battery and for about 20 seconds shifted a jumper which I think is the one that resets the CMOS (no label). Replaced jumper, and still no change.
Any ideas? :confused
I'm thinking that the motherboard my have died, but I can't see why dismantling the PC for a month would do that.
What if the CMOS battery was too flat (lacking power) to keep things going. Would that cause this behaviour?
Maybe I should put one of the graphics cards back in. I have one AGP and one PCI. BIOS was set to run the PCI first, I think. It wouldn't work the other way.
The MB is Sapphire Axion RS300 (pretty old).
MB chipset is ATI Radeon 9100 IGP.
Merci d'avance.
Did you attach the 4 pin power connector to the Motherboard for the CPU if it has one?
Hoping someone here has an answer to an intermittent issue. Specs are listed in sig. First off when I got this system a year ago I was running some generic pc3200 ram at 2.5-3-3-8 with 2.6v at 440mhz(system overclock of 200 mhz). Ran prime95 stable just fine. Decided to get some good ram that was known to overclock well because I had intended on upgrading the mobo and cpu but due to financial probs that fell through. So with the new ram 2x512mb double sided mushkin black l2 v2 I find that I can't hit the 440mhz stable anymore(I attribute this to the fact that i'm running a 'CO' stepping 754) so i'm fine with that and finally achieve stability at 430mhz with ram voltage at 2.8v and timings at 2-2-2-10. System runs prime95 for 6+ hours without error. But when the system is shut down for some period of time and I try to power it up I get the repeating High/Low beep. I shut off the power switch on the PSU(won't shut off otherwise) and power it back on it boots fine while still overclocked. This problem does not occur all the time either. It seems like every 5th power up after shut down. At stock speeds the system runs fine and powers up normally every time. I have tried :1. New PSU 2. Increasing LDT, Northbridge voltage 3. memtest checks out fine as well as prime95. 4. Clean install of windows and flashed bios. 5. Different slot configurations for memory, timings, volts. etc.
Keep in mind I never over volted the CPU when overclocking. I knew I woul... Read more
Let me get this straight, your system works fine at standard speeds, but not when overclocked? Do you really need me to tell you how to fix this?
Internal speaker is connected properly according to the manual...and the speaker worked with my old mobo...
Asus "no help" so far. Should I worry about this? The reason I ask is, "will I miss a critical system warning if the internal speaker does not work"?
The retailer said it does not work because I disabled onboard sound...sounded like a load of crap to me!

Hi, I was running a fine working computer and then this afternoon I attempted to install a 300GB SATA drive in it. I tried to reboot and there was nothing, no video, no beep, no post no nothing.
The power light on the mobo is on (P800SE) the CPU fan is working (P4 3.0) the drives sound like they're spinning, the CD-RW and DVD-RW drive light up and the video card (Radeon 9200) has lights flashing too.
So it seems that there is power, but like the topic says, no post screen, no beep, and nothing else.
I really would appreciate any help. I tried resetting the cmos, reinstalled the cmos battery, uninstalled the video card and tried rebooting after each step. The ram is seated right also. (2 X 512)
If anyone could help me find a solution to this it would be great. I don't know if it's the mobo or not, or how to test for it. Someone mentioned that I should reset the cpu but I don't know why that would make a difference at this point.

I see many people with many types of computers have a similar problem
Thier system powers up with no beeps, no keyboard, no post no usb or no video
The new power packs 350w 450w 500w coming from China have a tiny slide switch Red or Black on the face plate below the power cord.
It is set to 230V by default , which creates the above problems
By swtiching it to 115V everything should boot normal

Hi all..
When I try to boot up my PC there is no signal to the monitor and I do not hear any POST beeps.I try to Any help please.
Let's eliminate the obvious first:
Is there power to your pc and to your monitor, and they are both switched on?
Do you have power lights at both the monitor and the computer?
Have you recently moved /disturbed your computer "setup" /location?
Is it possible some cables may have come loose?
Have you tried the monitor on another (known good) computer?
Have you tried the computer with another monitor?
What were you doing the last time the computer worked properly?
Have you added any hardware or software?
If you turn on the monitor, and then turn on the computer, do you see anything on the monitor at all?
(most monitors today have a start screen made by the maker, before giving you a "signal not detected message and then going dark).
If you see a boot screen from your computer, can you get into your bios?
Can you boot to safe mode?

I have a HP/Compaq D220 MT computer that is giving an 8 beep code over and over at startup. I have no video no nothing on screen. When i remove the memory it gives the correct memory beep error (3) i have removed all periferals and removed power and data cables from all devices except the MB. HP is SLOOOOOOW at trying to get Tech Support and their "live help" is kinda useless if your not using the computer that has the problem ( if i can use the computer that has the problem then why do i need LIVE HELP LOL) Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe it is a video card problem. Try reseating the video card or try a new one.
Any help appreciated
I have made no changes to the PC but it will not get to windows load up.
POST tone sounds like 1 long then silence though possibly 2 short to follow which would suggest a graphics card problem.
I have changed the graphics card for a working one in another pc and it also does not work in this pc.
I have tried my card in the other pc and it works fine
I have used another pci-e slot with the same results
I have tested the monitor with another pc and it is fine
I have removed all peripherals
I have removed RAM stick by stick and also in pairs
I have checked all internal wiring
I am a bit stuck now and suspect a motherboard problem
Help appreciated
What BIOS does your motherboard use?
Hey guys,
I have been reading these forums a lot without a proper account, solving various problems. However, with this problem i decided it would be better to ask for some hints towards the possible cause of this.
My system in its current configuration has been working well for over 2 years. Last night, when I shut it down something weird happened: the monitor turned off (entered idle/stand by mode) before the system actually turned off (that's the normal point when the monitor should enter stand by too).
Also, I left it around 5min but it remained in this state, not shutting down. I decided to turn it off manually, believing that it was not much of a problem.
This morning however, when I started it I got no post beep and no video signal. All the components seem to be working normally though(the green led is on, the hard drive led also flashes, cpu & psu fans are ok...). What could be the cause for this?
I tried cleaning and swapping the ram memories and it still doesn't work. If I restart after booting it, still no luck.
Any ideas?
my rough specs:
AMD Athlon 64 4000+ at 2.4 GHZ
4x512MB DDR2
Nvidia GForce 7300 GT
ASUS M2N motherboard
Have you got an onboard graphics output you can use, if so try it and remove the graphics card. If not see if you can borrow another graphics card to try.
I've just built my second computer and I keep getting the "process failure" code when I boot. When I boot without RAM, I only get the 3 beep code. These are all new parts.
I have gone through many checklists, double checked all cords are connected, unscrewed the standoffs and pulled the MOBO out to boot. I've tried booting with nothing but the mobo plug and cpu connected, but still the same 5 beep code. I've pulled the CPU out bc I was kinda rough putting the stock cooler on, but no pins are bent or broken. The cpu fan is plugged in and working.
I'm convinced I must have been too rough with the mobo or perhaps either the mobo/CPU was dead on arrival, however unlikely that sounds. How can I diagnose this? I'd hate to have to unnecessarily buy a new part that isn't actually the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a situation where i get no POST(Good) single beep from a Biostar M7VIT when I boot up (cold boot) from a (sys off) state. I know the case spkr is good and there is no provision in the Phoenix/Award Bios to enable/disable the pc case spkr. I have the spkr leads connected across hdr pins 1 & 4 as per ATX stds. , and the instruction of Biostar Tech Support and the illustration diagram shown in the bios. Have been thru 2 MB's same model, same issue. No single beep POST(good). Biostar tech support was responsive to my inquiry's at 1st; answered my 1st 2 inquiry's, none thereafter. The system is running perfectly w/ a overclocked bus speed from 166 Mhz to 177 Mhz (107%) and very stable, Athlon XP2600 w/ 333Mhz FSB.
I have cheked for voltage readings at the 20 pin connector and all
disk drv connections. All are within spec. The hardware monitor software and bios report also--that all votage levels are within specs.
I feel that Biostar Tech Support does not want to admit that there is a problem here, since my 3rd and 4th inquiries into the matter were never answered. So I was wondering if anyone elso out there has had the same experience with this particuliar model MB (Biostar M7VIT) ? Please help. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Could be due to anything - Do you have 2 exact systems? or have just replace the motherboard with one system? It could be a bad speaker if you're sure its pluged in the right spot. Do all the LEDS/Switches work? It could be due to the fact you are overclocking or some sort of hardware incompatiblity - I have seen a board not beep on post with a certain Nvidia card. Check Bios updates. Check bios settings throughly - it may be hidden somewhere to turn off the beep.
Lastly - with my personal PC I don't plug the speaker in - I hate that beep. If everything works then great- I wouldn't worry.
This is the second computer in a week from the same person, exact same problem. I turn on the computer, cooling fans start, I get no beep during the post (if that's even happening) and I get no signal to the monitor. ??? any ideas ?

I have an issue with the BIOS POST check that annoys me. The issue is that when I restarting my computer or turn it on sometimes during POST (when a Toshiba logo appears) there is a beep sound signal. Mainly there is no signal but sometimes there is very noise.
So, the question is: Is it a problem in the hardware or is it a problem in the BIOS (by the way, I re-flashed BIOS several times - no result).
Hi buddy,
That means you get only sometimes a beep code when you start the notebook or does it happen always?
Usually such beep codes mean that there is a hardware problem but I think only an authorized service provider can test this exactly.
What you can do is resetting the BIOS to default settings and if you have two RAM modules, test it with one module only.

I have a Compaq desktop which I have had sitting up for a while, it isn't but maybe 5 years old. I say it's been sitting up for about a year. Well anyways, I decided to break it out and get it going again. I got all my hardware, the CPU, HDD, 1GB DDR2 RAM, and a CD drive. I put everything back in properly and it does not POST beep at startup nor does the monitor get any signal. Anyone have any ideas what could be causing this problem?
See if there's anything in this post that helps; http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic113137.html
Oh, and did you remember to plug in the CPU (4 pin) power connector..? That can be such a deal breaker.
Sometimes, a PSU can go bad while sitting around. I've had one myself that wouldn't restart after it was powered off. (That said, the caps were whining pretty bad while it was running).
OK all,
Here's the low down...
3 days ago, I was surfing the net (without anit-virus software,oops) and my screen kinda shuttered...like lines went through it then black, completely black. So I hit reset...I could see the post menu, with no faults...windows would boot...I click on my profile my desk top comes up...once stable I would preform some programs I use in my photo business and bammm...black screen....PCs still running, I could use the windows shortcut button on my keyboard, but can't see anything...I don't get a video signal error or anything, the monitor is still on...just black. I took the computer to a tech shop they off loaded or caputured some mal-ware and spyware and a virus...so I paid the fee and now after a few hours of working right....it's stopped working again. I've had it...what can I do if I can't see how to do anything? Please help!
Yesterday I decided to restart my computer after having it on for a week(it started to slow down noticably.) After shutting down, though, the computer now refuses to boot up. It doesn't get past POST and doesn't beep even if I take out the ram. Also, the power supply has started to make a really loud revving sound(hard to describe exactly, but thats a close description.) This persists even if the power supply is only connected to the MOBO and case fan.
Since computer is down I can't get the exact specs, but I have 2x2gb ram, 1 160gb hard drive 1 250gb harddrive, XON-450X PSU, Nvidia Geforce 8400gs GPU, CD burner, and an intel 2.4ghz quad core cpu.
Edit: I've already tried cleaning the PSU fan and clearing the CMOS. No dice.
Given the sound coming from the PSU, it sounds like that may be the problem. It doesn't appear to be a board or ram issue or you would expect the beeps at least.
Have you got another PSU you can try in this system as that could be the solution.

Homeland Security Invading a Social Media Platform Near You
Remember the government's color-coded terror alert system? Sure you do. It was fun, festive, and went with everything. Well, it's history. Back in January, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to phase out the system. So what will replace it? As of April 27, terror alerts will come in just two forms —"elevated" and "imminent"— and will be broadcast over the two most popular social networks.
That's right: Simply follow Homeland Security's Twitter feed or click "like" on their stupid Facebook page for up-to-the-minute reports on subway bombings!
But what of those among us not obsessed with tagging friends in unflattering photographs or retweeting Charlie Sheen catchphrases? Certainly grandma and grandpa deserve to be warned of impending terror attacks, too. Yes, yes, of course. Social networking updates are just one step in a meticulously laid-out notification process that begins with "federal, state and local leaders" and ends in inevitable, widespread panic.
Still, no outside threat seems quite as terrifying as the notion of our country's anti-terrorist forces hopping aboard the Twitter train, and all the public back-and-forthing (e.g. "YES! LOL!!! RT @KimKardashian: ANTHRAX?? That's bad, right??") such an arrangement implies. [AP]

In an interview with Murray Gold that was broadcast today on BBC Radio 4's Front Row Daily, Murray Gold revealed that there will be a song for the 50th Anniversary entitle "Song for 50" in tribute to the 5 decades that is under the show's belt. You can listen to the interview in the player below:
Murray Gold explains "We thought it would be appropriate to write something to commemorate the birthday and essentially, happy birthday to a lovely television show."
Gold further gave us a hint at the lyrics by saying that the last words were "Happy Birthday Doctor You", although he's not completely sure if he recalls it correctly. He further explains that he's "sure that the audience will mis-hear and say 'You must never call him by that name!'"
"It's a real privilege to be able to write directly for an audience that you know so I wrote this long song to speak for everybody in that room."
He also hinted at that a rough cut of the 50th Anniversary is now complete with the music being worked on, which is something that we fully expected.
The Proms will be on this Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's showing will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 at 7.30pm till around 9.45pm, which will be available worldwide. It is also being recorded for a BBC One showing at a later date. We will have links to these, as usual.

Compare cheap flights from Cagayan De Oro to Damascus
When is the cheapest time to fly to Damascus?
Flights to Damascus
There are a lot of direct flights served at the Damascus International Airport. This includes Egypt Air, Syrian Air, Royal Jordanian, Mahan Air and Iran Air. Going around the city is easy with bus, taxi and trains. However, with the war going on, finding public transportation might be a little hard.
Beyond the Civil War
Not only were lives lost since the Civil War started in 2011. Houses, infrastructures, and many other facilities were also destroyed. However, in certain parts of the city, you can still find museums, mausoleums and zoos. You can also find places with historical significance, as they are ruins of ancient civilizations.
A lot of people are still interested in going to the city despite strict travel advisories. If you are one of them, it would be on your best interest to have a local to guide you around the city. You cannot just go out on your own and risk your life. If you want to go for pure leisure purposes, you might want to reschedule your flights first. Rest assured, when it is already safe to travel here, lots of cheap tickets will be sold via Skiddoo. Thus, if this city is really interesting, you can go to Damascus in the future.

Vitruvian Man…manifests
So…I got to thinking….that if I really want to continue with figure drawing, that I really should take on the opposite sex. I remembered this da Vinci sketch, drawn almost 500 yrs ago. And I thought….ok….why not….not much hair, a definite plus!
Drew out the contour first….like usual. If I could I would've showed you my first attempt here…..he had gorilla proportions….seriously! (I didn't have to erase the legs but my, did I do a number on his shoulders!)
I'd prefer to go in and sketch this…but what is there to sketch? It's a line drawing. Ugh! So, I am now thinking I'll go in and whimsey-size it.

I look forward to your sketches, doodles & your blog every time you post. LOVE the beautiful quilts you've made. Such beautiful colors & designs. I can't sew a stitch except for some mending & even that's terrible.
Thanks for sharing.

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden

St. Michael's researchers discover new enzyme function for anemia
Toronto, October 3, 2011
By Kate Taylor
Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have discovered a new function for an enzyme that may protect against organ injury and death from anemia.
"Identifying this mechanism may lead to new therapies and approaches to improving outcomes for anemic patients," said Dr. Greg Hare, a researcher at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of the hospital and one of the lead investigators of the study.
One in four people around the world and up to 50 per cent of patients coming for surgery are anemic. The condition has many different causes including infection (malaria, HIV, parasites), nutritional deficiencies (iron, folate, B12), genetic mutations, pregnancy, trauma and surgical blood loss.
Anemia occurs when blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells or hemoglobin – an iron-rich protein that carries oxygen from the lungs and heart to the rest of the body. Cells need oxygen to survive and to produce energy for all bodily functions.
Dr. Hare and colleagues found that when people have anemia, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) – an enzyme in nerve cells that produces nitric oxide, an important signaling molecule in the body – increases the body's ability to respond, adapt to low oxygen levels and makes the body more efficient in delivering oxygen to tissues.
The researchers found levels of nNOS in the brain increased in anemic mice, and that the mice without this enzyme die earlier, and with higher hemoglobin levels.
The research appeared today's issue of Proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. "This research will help us identify when an anemic patient is at greatest risk for injury and death when undergoing surgery," said Dr. Hare. "Research is underway to test these findings in humans."

Biggest Radial Tire On The Biggest Beadlock AvailablePosted in How To on October 1, 2011
This magazine was literally shipping to the printing press and the rubber was still curing when we got our hands on the first 41.5-inch radial Rocker tires from Pit Bull and mounted them on the biggest beadlock wheels available from Trailready. The package is so new, in fact, that we didn't even have two hours go test 'em, so be sure to look for a lot more on the newest offerings from Pit Bull and Trailready, as we're sticking this set on our project Blazer that is busy getting revamped at SMP Fabworks right now.
The Rocker is now the biggest light-truck radial tire offered (when measured from the ground to the top of the tire's tread). Though it's not a new design, the 41.5-inch size is brand new, and should be available to purchase by the time you read this. We mounted them on TrailReady's new 20-inch HD beadlock wheels because it's the most heavy-duty and biggest beadlock-ringed wheel available. The HD Series isn't some production wheel with a cut-off bead lip; it's a cast-aluminum wheel with no welds that was meant to be a beadlock wheel from day one.
Why run a 20-inch wheel? It is true that we typically preach to run the smallest wheel you can for the brake package your vehicle has. Sometimes, a tire is so big that you can have too much sidewall flex for certain driving conditions, and increasing the wheel size can actually improve the handling of your vehicle. Generally, bigger wheels are acceptable as long as they're half the diameter of the tire, making these 41.5-inch Rockers mounted on 20-inch HD beadlocks a perfect package!
