Motherboard error after replacing GPU and PS.

[Noodle_dmx]

Hello and happy new year!

 

Some days ago i replaced GPU (GTX 760) and power supply (CX600) to my friend's Acer Aspire PC.

It has an i5 3330, 8 gigs of ram, and an Acer Inc. motherboard.

 

Everything worked just fine since the 30th of december but today's afternoon the motherboard started making 4 error beeps.

I tried to reverse the ram modules, using only one per time, removing the battery from the motherboard but it changed nothing.

 

Nothing appears on screen so i tried in vain to replace the 760 with the old 630.

 

Maybe i've broke the mb installing the new parts? any ideas? 

 

Thanks in advice!

Hey,

 

I would try just reseating the parts you changed and re plugging the PSU cables.

 

Can you get to the BIOS or let us know what motherboard model number you have? I can't tell you what BIOS type (AMI , AWARD, etc) you have as post beeps can change depending on BIOS type. 

That will give you a hint as to what the post beep may be eluding too but since you changed the two components (PSU and GPU) just reseat / re plug all of those first.

 

PS have you tried putting the old GPU and PSU back in to see if it psots fine ?

 

Regards

when i read or hear Acer i just laugh and be angry in the same time, Acer systems always always have problems with something mobo weird problems, not finding drivers or something always damn Acer i hate you please go away, i dont care that you have cheap systems just go away i dont wanna deal with you or hear about you anymore.

 

ps, your probably have AMI Bios you can find it by going to start-run then type dxdiag, if you have ami bios then "4 beeps Timer not operational, system board bad"

Already replaced the GPU. The motherboard has a AMI bios (i found this information in the user manual). The error is for the system timer but before making 4 beeps the motherboard did 3 beeps.

Tomorrow we'll try to power on the pc with my kit of ddr3 ram and surely we'll try to replug some cables of the PSU. Thanks.

i would say yes since i dont know any sulution for this

OEM mobo dont tend to last long IMO

 

what you described could either be a BAD CMOS battery

 

try replacing the CMOS battery and see if it helps

 

better to waste a dollar or two than replacing the whole mobo first

It was a screw stuck under the motherboard.

 

:angry:

 

Now everything work perfectly. Thank you all for the answers
