HELP!!

[TheHa3E]

So today as usuall i booted my pc up and played some games. I played a little bit and then turned pc out and went outside to catch some pokemon with my friends. Few hours later, i came home and booted my pc back up again. But this time the monitor was not showing anything and was showing, that it has connection, but it is not reciving anything. So i wondered what is happening, i took out my pc, i have it under my desk, and i clean it once 2 months and my room is not dirty/dusty at all, i opened the case, and looked, maybe there are some cables loos or something. i didnt see anything, what would do that. So, while the PC is on the table, i plugged in 2 cables, power and a cable for monitor. I turned my pc on and it started beeping, alot of short beeps that dont stop at all, i think it was 2 beeps in 1 second, so it was pretty fast. So i turned everything off, unpluged everything. Took out my GPU, RAM, CPU. I inspected the socket and didnt see any damage there. So i put back my CPU, changed the thermal paste, and removed CMOS battery, to reset BIOS. So i put back the cmos battery, put 1 stick of RAM and turned the PC on. I went straight to bios and found nothing wierd there. I thought okay, maybe it was just an error. I putted everything back and turned it on, and it again started beeping. I think it might be, that i have some problems with my GPU.

 

I have Intel core i3-2120

8gb of crucal RAM,

gigabyte h61m-s1 motherboard

cooler master 500b rev 2.0 PSU

and MSI GTX 960 2gb OC GPU

 

and the thing is, the whole system, except the gpu, is from 2012 and the gpu i bought last summer.

The temperatures didnt go over 65 for the GPU and over 70 for the CPU, so i mean that is pretty wierd.

Does anyone has an idea what happened, and what i can try to do, to fix this, except send my GPU to warranty, IF it is the gpu?

Well the beeps have a meaning but we need to know how many times it beeps.

Try to count them and let us know how many times it beeps.

Generally this means that there is a hardware error. Usually Hard Drives dont cause these types of errors

One by One Start Removing Devices.

Take out your Video Card, try again, if it continues, take out any other expansions cards, or other devices plugged in.

If you have four sticks of ram, try them two at a time.

This will help you isolate this issue.

Let us know how it goes!

Well the beeps dont stop. 2 beeps in 1 second all the time. There are no pauses in between it just goes beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep etc. If i tried to count them i would probably count till morning.

[MozyIT]

That's right the beeps will not stop in most cases, Consider them a one way Morse code of your computer telling you whats wrong. If you have the instruction manual to your computer, it'll translate that "morse code" for you. But I usually find it simpler to remove hardware devices one at a time until the issue is isolated.

It looks like my RAM short-circuted and broke the RAM slot on which it was located. So i have 2 ram slots one is dead and 1 stick is also dead. Without the stick it boots. And without the ram stick in the dead port it also boots. Didnt remove anything but the ram stick. I think it is a sign that my mobo is started to die and i should get new one. I couldn't see any damage on the stick neither on the port.

 

 

Edit: interesting, that the dead port is the furthest 

[MozyIT]

Yup, so either the RAM slot in the motherboard is dead, or the RAM itself is dead. You can try swapping the ram into the other slot, but because because if it is a mother board issue it may damage the other stick of RAM, but it's rare for it to permanently damage RAM that way. 

 

Glad We're making progress!
