Hey guys,
Looking for a little help if possible. Yesterday my computer decided it wouldn't boot, instead it would reset itself on boot after about 5 seconds. It kept doing this over and over. I checked the heatsink was attached correctly, I checked my RAM and changed to a different graphics card but still had the same problem. I then decided to reset the CMOS using the red button on my motherboard. Now I am finding that my computer stays booted but it gives me one short beep every ~15 seconds. However I don't get a display on my monitor. I'm not convinced the graphics card is the problem though since I sometimes find that I don't get a display from my LCD until the Windows login screen pops up.
I have checked the status LEDs on my motherboard and it is 2 green and 2 red which apparently means that it is intialising hard drive controller, hwever it sounded like the hdd has spun up..
Has anyone got any ideas or seen this problem before?
For reference my computer spec is:
Q6600
MSI P35 Neo
4GB OCZ RAM
GeForce 260 GTX (also tried a 8800GT)
Thanks in advance..
