Goosed PSU or CPU
- the beeps [ assuming speaker ] should happen [ driven by CMOS / BIOS ] even if the CPU / Graphics Card / Memory are not even in the computer.
- do what Andy says and reset the BIOS jumper, or pull the battery out while completely disconnected [ remove the kettle lead from the back ] from the mains, and then press the ' reset button ' a couple of times before replacing the battery, plugging the puter back in to the mains, and then re-test following Andy's sequence.
£5 bet on CPU Andy ? :beer:Disclaimer : Everything I write on this forum is my opinion.

Yeah :rotfl:
Sounds more like HW fault to me, but I've got this niggling feeling it's something simple . So suggested a few things to help rule out.
The only thing I could think of it being even after a BIOS reset onboard VGA is a naffed M/B, PSU or CPU
I once bought a new M/B, I got a blank screen, saw fan spinning and assumed hardware fault. I forgot about connecting the 4-pin 12v lead for the CPU lolOwner of andrewhope.co.uk, hate cars and love them

- nowt wrong with your advice M8, all these things are trial and error and exclusion leading to the next trial and error and exclusion.
- this one is a bit of a guess now because the beeps disappeared, hence the beer :beer: bet. Shorting the pins should restore the beep, and the error !

Its Officially dead guys & gurls. Have tried every scenario suggested and we get no response at all.
Thanks all who contrbuted and I am now looking for a cheap PC base. Been suggested a Compaq 7100 or 7600 just to tide her over.
Cheap, cheerful and can salvage some stuff from the old on, including DVD player, PCI card etc.0 -
Ah well, chalk that one up to experience I suppose. I'd love to get my hands on the PC myself just to test it out and find out the problem lolOwner of andrewhope.co.uk, hate cars and love them
