PC Won't Start? *FIXED*

Problem solved now, thanks

Hey,

Just got back from holiday... Replugged my computer into the wall, turned it on, and it won't POST... It beeps continuously, 3 small beeps at a time. The motherboard I have is a Gigabyte GA-EP31-DS3L and the user-guide says the beeping means a graphics problem for short beeps, and a power problem for longs beeps, but I don't really know what a short or long beep sounds like I'd guess it was a short one though.

The keyboard and mouse doesn't come on at all (No lights etc) and the monitor has power, but doesn't respond when the PC is turned on.

Was working perfectly when I left, so any ideas? Is there a chance it could be too cold at all, as the house has been empty with the heating off for a week...?

Thanks in advance

Remove CMOS battery for 10 mins, replace and power back up.

No luck.

Well... at least PSU is starting up as boot proceeds to part where BIOS starts checking components.

You could try re-seating graphics card.

Ready to fail capacitors would be sensitive to too cold temperature.

Again, no luck. I doubt they would fail in an empty house for a week though? I know its England, but it's not that cold, is it?!

Have you re-checked all power connections?

I'd laugh if something like a mouse had got into your case and eaten through a couple of wires whilst you were away!

Ha, no chance, but I could imagine it being something really stupid!

Found the problem now though, it seems to be a loose RAM module, not pressed in ever so slightly.

Thanks for the advice anyway guys
