No beeping noise when starting up my pc >_<

lawlzor · #1 27-01-08, 09:59 PM

Basically a couple days ago started up my pc, and none of the startup writing came up and no beeping noise was made on my pc. I rr'd it a few times and then it eventually worked, thinking nothing of it i turned it off that nite and then when i came to turn it on next morning it wouldnt start properly. Basically all the power comes on, the fans/mobo lights up. One orange light comes on on the ram but no beeping noise. After getting some advice off a few friends, ive tried starting it up without any ram/without a graphics card/without everything apart from the psu and the mobo but still no beeping noise. Basically i have no idea what to do and am now hoping someone will give me an easy solution, or say i need to replace a part in my pc. Pleeeeeeeease help! i do offer sex for any help given. Im male btw

mrapoc can vouch for me being both sexy and blonde tho.

Have you tried re-seating the cpu or even trying the cpu in another system?

If it powers on, but doesn't beep even when there's no RAM or GPU it might be something to do with the CPU (or mobo).

I've seen it happen a few times before & a few times it has been the mobo, other times it's either the way the CPU is seated or the CPU is blown

On one occaision I've seen it happen in a case, then when we powered it up on cardboard it was ok, but in case again it did same. That time it was one of the standoff's on the case that was shorting out the mobo

soon sorted once we realised what it was tho

I sed about the case shorting it and if hes not too lazy he will have a go. I wud have thought it wud beep if the cpu was dead but the mobo was alive. Perhaps they have both died?

Last dead cpu I encountered just had the fans come on, no beeps, nothing when u turned on.

That was an ASUS AH1 barebones effort with a Sempron.

Doesn`t necessarily mean dead, could be a worrying install or something. Best to strip it down, clean shizzle back to how it came and start again.-- with the base basics.

when my CPU was toast, comp turned on, nothing on the screen though

(my computer didnt beep cuz there was no speaker)

Ill go round sometime and rebuild it then bit by bit outside of the case

unless theres anything else he can try?

Sounds like a trial and error situation to me! Could be dodgy install, mobo, CPU or could it also be the PSU?

If you have a spare PSU, it might be worth taking it along to test, also once it's all up and running Memtest it, just in case of memory probs.

My suggestions anyways

Wen my PSU went it would power up my fans and lights on the mobo would switch on, but the system wouldn't boot. Put in a diff PSU and it worked fine.

I have just had that exact same problem. It wasn't an Asus Maximus Formula board was it? After lots of testing as you did and sometimes getting it to boot, but mostly not, it was decided that the off and clear cmos buttons on the board were faulty. The stop button was solid and hardly worked at all. The clear cmos button just did not clear the cmos so I could not get it to boot or get back into the Bios to change my settings. I got the board changed today at Tekheads and so far no problems.I am now running an E8500 Core 2duo with no problems, which wouldn't work on the other board. This is also an Asus Maximus but the other one was the SE version and this is not.
