Hi there all,

i have just connected my friends computer and everything seemed to be working fine

the setup is asrock mobo, 2x512 RAM,athlon 64 3200+, 9600 agp gfx card, 160gb SATA hdd

I started the computer up and it seemed to be working fine, but it didnt make the "beep" sound that computers make when they start until quite a few seconds in......I then proceeded to put in the windows xp CD in the hdd, but the computer kept saying, "insert boot cd or boot floppy" so i disconnected the hdd and checked all the connections (including the dvd rom drive and all was fine), but now the computer on boot, produces a series of 7 'bleeps' and nothing but a blank screen.......HELP!!

If anybody knows what this problem could be then please help, thanks in advance
:)
 
thanks, but the only problem is i can't even seem to get into the bios screen, plus i dont have a floppy drive for this computer....... :(
