Hi all
Decided to take out and replace some old fans and found my system wouldnt boot ( 1 long neep and 2 short) So i powered down and took them out and it posted fine. But now finding it boots maybe 1/10 if im lucky. I have tried just one stick of ram, disconectinig drives, checked cables, cleared cmos a few times took out and reseated gfx. I have now tried my tagan 480w in this comp and seems fine (although much lower spec with no power cons on the card). Does anyone have any ideas whats up?

Help would be appreciated!

what BIOS? Obviously then what does 1long 2 short mean on the beep code list.

Sounds like AGP error to me,you've not dislodged your vid card?

More details needed

Award bios on dfi ultra d, and the beep code suggest vga problem, but once it booted into windows after some attempts, i turned it off, didnt touch anything powered up and got the error code again. Any ideas? Spec in sig if you can read it!

Edit just changed sig so you can see it! Also reset cpu to stock speed

try removing the graphics and checking for dust in the port. then reseat it. That beep code is graphics.
you could try resetting the bios to see if that helps

its a case of reseat/replace graphics card until you dont get the error. If you get the error with a known GOOD gard, then replace the mobo.

No more complex that that really.
