OP : Windows XP
Video Card : Nvidia 7900GT
Mobo : MSI K8N Neo4-F
Ram : 2gb
Bios : Award phoenix bios d686
Power Supply: 680w Apevia Beast Power
I've had this computer for 2 years now and ive had problems everyonce in
a while but they have been fixed. The issue im having currently ive been
having for the last 3 or so months. the computer would work fine for
about 2 to 3 weeks and then one morning, I went to turn it on and it gave
me a beep signal of 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. because I have an
award bios, I went to go look it up on the internet and I found out that
it was a video problem. so I switched out my video card and still no
luck. then I figured maybe it was a problem with my ram, so I took that
out one at a time and it still gave me the same 1 long two short until
there was no ram and I got the series of short beeps signaling no ram
socketed. someone said that the power supply could be dead, so I tried it
with a different supply.. no luck. the next thing I did was I took out my
cpu for like 2 or 3 hours and then put it back in, that seemed to do the
trick for about a week, but then it started happening again. I tried that
trick again but it hasn't worked. the next thing I thought was that maybe
my bios battery was old or something, so I took it out for 15 seconds and
poped it back in. as soon as I plugged the power cord back in, it started
up and gave me a normal beep signal. I thought it was a miracle until I
had to restart it. after a restart it gave me the same 1 long 2 short
again. =(
so now ive narrowed it down. it cant be the video card, it cant be the
pci-e socket, it cant be the cpu (because it ran on that cpu fine for a
while right?), it cant be the bios battery, it cant be the power supply,
and it cant be the ram. so that leads me tooo... im not praying hard
enough? rofl im not sure what to do at this point.
if someone solves this issue they will be the tech guru of the year. no
one so far as been able to solve it. so if anyone has any ideas on what
this could be please PLEASE post something here.
