Phube Posted 24 September 2010 Posted 24 September 2010 You don't know how much you rely on PC's / the internet until you lose it... Currently using my phone + wi-fi... Whyyyyyyyy..... ?
lavrentis Posted 24 September 2010 Posted 24 September 2010 Does it turn on? If it doesn't turn on it might be the PSU, does it turn on and fail to boot?
Phube Posted 24 September 2010 Author Posted 24 September 2010 The fan starts up... nothing happens then... Beeeep, beep-beep-beep! Then nowt...
lavrentis Posted 25 September 2010 Posted 25 September 2010 The fan starts up... nothing happens then... Beeeep, beep-beep-beep! Then nowt... Ah the number of beeps could be important/ 4 beeps then?
Phube Posted 25 September 2010 Author Posted 25 September 2010 Ah the number of beeps could be important/ 4 beeps then? Well one long and 3 short (according to internet it's either Memory or Graphics card? But who knows!!? (Now at my Dad's on his PC... Woe is me... )
Stand UP... Posted 25 September 2010 Posted 25 September 2010 Well one long and 3 short (according to internet it's either Memory or Graphics card? But who knows!!? (Now at my Dad's on his PC... Woe is me... ) Sorry to hear about that, its sounds like your memory as i had the same beeps you describe. Good Luck
lavrentis Posted 25 September 2010 Posted 25 September 2010 Well if it's a bad memory module you could open your computer up and take one out and run it to see if it works and take the other out etc if you have 2 or 4 modules. If it is the video card, try removing it and refitting it. Make sure everything inside is intact and connected properly. I take it this just happened out of the blue?

Good call, my PC used to give me the beeps and i had to do that as the memory modules kept coming loose
DB11 Posted 26 September 2010 Posted 26 September 2010 The fan starts up... nothing happens then... Beeeep, beep-beep-beep! Then nowt... Try reseating the ram.
Phube Posted 26 September 2010 Author Posted 26 September 2010 Tried poking the RAM about, and the graphics card (managed to break the graphics card release switch... ) Getting a man in to have a look... Will see what he says... But it did just happen all of a sudden...
Phube Posted 26 September 2010 Author Posted 26 September 2010 Well it's now fixed... But I'm a bit disappointed, I wanted a new PC... Actually AOWW, she's the one who turned it off and effectively broke it! It did need a new Graphics Card in the end...
