PC will not start

Rensin · 27 Jul 2010 at 15:04

Have recently built a small fileserver out of old/ second hand parts. Have not set it up yet as still working eveything out.

All has worked perfectly so shut it down last night by the control panel in freenas and turned it on today and is beeping about 20 times than restarts. Looked in the manual and says it is either power or graphics card is not installed properly.

Have tried removing and reinstalling graphics card and swapped for a spare card i have but get the same. All the fans spin up at the start so surely not a power issue.

Spec:

E7500
Gigabyte GA-EP43-UD3l iP43
2GB Hyperx

Try one RAM stick at a time.
What PSU is it? I would try another just incase...

Only have 1 stick of RAM installed (2GB module)

Just gunna go take a stick from my main PC to try.

It is a Corsair 650w, taken from my main PC a few months ago.

GFX Card is a Asus 4350.
