Try resetting the BIOS through removal of the CMOS battery for about 10 seconds.

Try to clear CMOS, if that doesn't work, it's probably a memory  issue.

try different RAM. hook up the speaker to the mobo and listen for the beep.

Once you hear the beep(s) then look for the error in your motherboards manual to find and hopefully resolve the problem.

Reseat the ram, take it out and push it back in. It probably is not down all of the way.

Maybe you bumped the computer? Its a common problem... Or your CPU got knocked loose ? Just reseat everything as if you were building a new computer.

i have no thermal paste so taking out the cpu would be a pain

[jamese669]

any one els have any idea's??? 

[grayperview]

More than likely your board as failed.... too verify

 

disconnect every thing from the motherboard, take out and reseat the CPU, having no thermal paste doesn't matter for now.

 

Install one stick of RAM...If it posts Install a 2nd stick of RAM...and continue adding components until it no longer posts, and then you will have the cause of your problem.

 

If it does not post with either stick of ram in (assuming you have multiple) its either the board (most likely) or the CPU that has failed...

 

Good Luck.

hey i have resited the cpu and did what you said and still dosnt work it the vga led stay lit when consulting with my motherboard manual when the led stays lit i mean theres a problem but when i put both gpus in my fathers system they work fine i also tryed flashing the bios in hopes it was the bio playing up but it would flash  (using asus's bios flash back thingy)

[grayperview]

sounding like either board or CPU is dead.

yeah sound it :( ahhh well better rma the board if the new one dont post ill rma the cpu

If my desktop doesn't post, I unplug it from the wall and press the power button to 'drain' all the power! Then plug it back in and try :)

yes thats called an ATX reset, also worth a try...

im actually sorta having the same issue, my bios derped up and now my pc boots fine, no beeps or error codes but no image on the screen, resetting cmos doesn't help me. if you find a solution tell me, it may help me out :D

dude do what i did at first and try your gpu/'s ram works on a diffrent pc that kinda helps on what the problem is that how i knew it was my mobo playing up

[dtronicsuk]

sounds like a mobo fault

 

just to clarify

 

1. checked cpu fitting - didnt work - have you got another board that will take that cpu if so you could try it in that and see what happens

2. checked ram fitting - didnt work - again try in another mobo

3. reset cmos - didnt work

4. reflash bios - didnt work

5. have you tried just a basic boot (by that i mean just keyboard vga and mouse, remove everything else, no hard drive, cd, usb drives and if got onboard video remove any add-in video cards etc)

6. do you get any bios error beeps - quickest way of finds mobo faults 3 beeps normally means faulty ram

7. did you clean shut down your pc last time

8. what was you doing last time you used your pc.

9. what was the last software you installed

10. have you overclocked your pc in anyway

11. how old is your pc

12. have you knocked/dropped your pc recently

 

some of these questions might seem irreverent but they will all help us to help you. the more info you can give us the faster we can find a solution for you.

 

 

p.s i have a hackintosh as well running it on my msi cr700 laptop cpu - intel celeron t3300 dual core 2ghz ram- 4gb ddr2 666mhz gpu- nvidia geforce 8200m g

 

running os x lion and runs well i can even play minecraft ..... at 20fps lol

 

answer these and we see if we can help you further

Sounds like your #1 priority is to buy a motherboard speaker! It'll make it much easier to diagnose, double check the bottom of your motherboard box!
