I started up my computer and i ddnt get any signal to my moniter, then my pc speaker gave me long continueous beeps. I'm not sure what im missing. it was working fine this morning and for the past few years, except for a bunch of irq_not_less_or_equal crashes (shot mobo?). I isolated my video card, mother board, RAM, and CPU. and it still gives me these beeps and i get no signal to the moniter.

ok right now im considering these posibilities:

shot AGP slot (i sure as hell hope not, cuz that means i will need a new mobo and video card)

shot video card

CPU overheat/malfunction (doubt it, i have a good copper cooler and a low O/C)

dead RAM (doubt it, good quality but will check some more)

shot powersupply (all fans spin up, all the lights are fine doubt it is this one too)

Motherboard/BIOS (all the lights seem to be good, cd rom drives spin up...)

Is there anything im forgetting? Prior to this problem i havent been doing ANYTHING to my computer like hardware/tweaking etc. I tried this with my HDD connected and disconnected but neither gave me a different beep pattern. I took out all my PCI cards and i got the same thing, i will try a different video card but i gotta be careful about that agp slot and i gotta check if its burntout. should i try a different vid card? my specs are in my sig. can anybody help?

i replaced my PS2 mouse with a USB. haven't had the problem since.
