the 3 beeps, are they fast all together or slower. 3 beeps is usually related to memory or your video card. can you take off the side and see if the video card fan is spinning?

I wrote up a guide long ago for this sort of problem with beeps..
I will go fetch it.. http://mr.n.antithesisgames.com/Beep%20Cod...ror%20Codes.txt Just navigate to that TXT file,find the vendor of your BIOS and check what 3 beeps mean! Here are the ones that seem relevant IBM standard codes: 3 long beeps 3270 keyboard card AMI BIOS: 3 Short Beeps Memory failure in the first 64 KB This post has been edited by Mr.N: Mar 3 2010, 02:16 PM -------------------- May i remind you that i take no responsibility for any injuries/deaths that may occour from the above post.
I dont use hard drives,i just have 35 chinease teenagers in my basement and i force them to memorize numbers. Email me @ Ma email Add me on steam @ Alex4921 Add me on Xbox Live @ "Alex B Cant Die" Add me on MSN if you really want and don't have steam cause i never go on MSN and never check the emails on there @ Here Did a solution i posted worked? Did i managed to brick your computer? Well then post back and tell me so i know for next time ! |

Its a sure case of some malware which is causing your PC to start and shut down in loops. Might be some internal mistake as well but such probablity is quite less.
