This system is driving me bonkers. When I try to boot it gives one long and 2 short beeps followed by a pause then it beeps rapidly forever. Once in awhile, like after 50-100 resets, it BOOTS normally (except it loads CMOS defaults), then it will run stable for many days.
The one-long, 2 short beeps seem to indicate a video problem which is particularly odd as the mobo has no onboard video.
Also the rapid short beeps indicate another issue I suppose?
So far I've replaced
Video card (tried AGP and PCI)
memory
changed memory slots
Power supply (480w Athlon-approved now)
case
disks
CPU processor
(I even replaced the mobo- original was a Dragon Plus 2.0)
I also tried several CMOS resets
I also pulled EVERY PCI card except the video.
I have an:
ABIT KV7-V,
Athlon 3200 (32 bit),
2GB Kingston RAM
NVIDEA 256 MB Video AGP 8X
2 SATA
At this time I cannot get it to boot at all.
