I'm helping a friend with PC this problem has just happened out of no where after working fine for a couple of years
Problem: The PC will not boot or post, no display what so ever instead you get 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps, The Motherboad is an Asus A8N Sli SE, the beep codes as far as i'm aware our for a VGA Failure.
I have removed his pci graphics and replaced with a working one. still the same beep codes. I've taken his graphics card and placed in a spare machine, works fine and will boot no problem.
I've tried replacing RAM, Hard drives, Graphics card pci power cable, resetting the bios, all to no avail.
Am i to assume from this that the motherboard is so how broken and needs replacing?
Or is there anything else you could recommend i try
Thanks for any info
