(this would bad RAM)Try to boot with each (if you have more than one stick) stick of RAM in different slotsLet me know what you get Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plug a real mouse and keyboard in. Not the wireless one. It needs to see a Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor to boot up. Might have a bad mouse or keyboard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobgo2627 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Wow I was wondering something here, did you build this PC? I am wondering if you can match up the beeps. I know that on some mobo's they have a function to shut off to protect the CPU. It might be the heat sync not cooling proper. This is after all if you built the PC. Also, did you do anything new before this problem happened? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
