I've owned this system for about 4 months now with no problems. Last night during a reboot I received 6 rapid beeps at startup with no video being displayed on the monitor, the light as amber as if it was receiving no signal. Everything in the case was operating, all fans and leds working. The system basically booted but with no video. The error code on the mobo was 7F. I reconnected the 24-pin power connector and the 8-pin connector to the mobo and rebooted the system again. Everything booted fine and the PC functioned as normal.
This morning it did the exact same thing, I reconnected both cables again to the mobo and it booted fine. Now the system will not boot, it just gives me the rapid beeps and the 7F error code and hangs with no video.
I have reseated the entire motherboard, removed all extra motherboard mounts in case of a short somewhere, reassembled the entire PC 4 times. Everything has been connected and reconnected. I've removed the BIOS battery for 10 minutes while reseating everything and put it back in. I've tried both PCIe slots for the video card, neither gave any different results. I've tried different power cables for the video card, it changed nothing. I have basically run out of ideas.
I have no clue why reconnecting the 24-pin connecter and 8-pin connecter would suddenly fix this issue that just started popping up. There were no recent power surges or changes in hardware, and the PC is all connected through a powerful surge protector as is. Reconnecting the power connectors no longer "fixes" the problem, and I'm not really even certain what the problem is. The PC ran perfectly normal once it booted both times after the problem occurred for 12-18 hours straight. Any ideas?
Edit: Leaving the battery out for the rest of the night, maybe that will magically fix things.
