Switched on my PC this morning and the BIOS splash screen came up but it froze on that screen. I let it sit for a minute or 2 but it did nothing so I hit reset button. The screen went black and the mobo started giving long beeps.
This happened before so I switched off the pc, pulled the power cord and let it sit for a few mins. I plugged it back in but it did the same thing. Usually it would just post as normal.
So I removed the battery and let it for 20 mins but no joy. Tried one graphics card, 1 stick of RAM, hard drives removed but nothing worked.
So as my title asks, is it dead? If anyone has any other ideas or solutions let me know. If not i'll be looking for a replacement board as I can't afford to build a new PC, even though I'm well over due for a new one
