So I may Have fucked up my computer

[Ninjasupahsquid]

I dragged an old computer out of storage and played some games on it then went to bed... I woke up and the damn thing wouldn't display out of the graphics card... it would do onboard graphics but no GPU. so I took to the forums in this thread right here VVVVV

then someone told me to clear the CMOS... so I followed this guide

I unplugged the computer removed the CMOS battery and put it back in a couple of seconds later... now whenever I try to turn it back on it gives me a series of really high pitched beeps.

 

Video of High Pitched beeps VVVVV

That video isn't pubic. We can't see it without requesting access.

My guess is by resetting BIOS, it returned to the default of not enabling iGPU if GPU is present, and since GPU is defective (maybe?) the beeps are about a graphics issue.  What happens if you remove the GPU and try again?

Is this usually a post error, check if ram/gpuand seated properly.

Those long beeps you are hearing are likely the motherboards beep code to report errors. If you have the manual (or check the model number and search online) you can find out what the beep code means.

That sounds like memory issue. Those beeps indicate memory issue.

k there aren't anymore beeps but it still won't output thru the graphics card

try the gpu on another slot.

if you can try it on another PC, like a friends

see if all the cables are properly seated

do the fans turn on?

see if there is any problem with the card, like leaked components

clean the dust, old computer and storage and all that

the fans do boot up... everything is properly seated and I cant put it in another slot because it is a mATX board

In some cases you need to disable the internal igpu in the bios to be able to output to the other gpu, it can also be that you have to chose the preferred gpu in the bios.
