Last night for some odd reason I suddenly got a BSOD, first in a very long time!
I rebooted, started windows normally, then fell asleep.
I woke up to find the screen blank, with the PC on.
I rebooted again, this time faced with some beeps. 1 long, 2 short.
couldnt find anything on the manufacturers website about beep codes, but some googling about provided some clues.
The evidence is pointing to a gfx card failure. I have re-seated the card twice, still getting beeps. Had a thorough look, no signs or burning/melting etc. the GPU looked ok (well, couldnt see under the gunk to see the core)
The motherboard is an ECS NFORCE6M-A (V2.0/V2.0A).
Any ideas folks? I dont want to end up buying a new gfx card to find out its something else/more then one problem.
