I need help with a friends motherboard. I have put everything in and tried a few different components and I get the same screen each time. A black screen with a white _. I've tried it with just a 2140 PSU, a stick of DDR 6400 RAM and a x850XT. I've also took everything out and put it back in. Everything loads up fine, fans, harddrive, disc drives etc, so im thinking the motherboard might be dead. It also makes two short and quiet beeps. Any advice or is it dead? I also removed the battery and put it back in after a few mins and it does the same thing.

He has the corsair 520W so theres definitely enough power, unless it is a dud, as he got it the same time as the board.
