i have encountered a problem with my mobo. on post boot it comes up with error d6 on the led screen on the motherboard and beeps 5 times. computer has worked fine up until this. i am running onboard graphics and the cpu is a I3 3225 ivybridge have done all the usual checks like checking the pins on the cpu clearing cmos and checking the ram. still black screen doesnt boot all fans are starting but cant even get into bios.
 
Solution
Check all PCI devices for correct connection.
I had a similar problem with d6 d7 coming up and no display on start. sometimes would get windows to boot, sometimes not.
I went mad fault finding. Pulled every component with random results. After a bit of research I found a post mentioning D6 when GPU not seated properly. I'd still get the problem without GPU
but I found the issue to be my new Tv card not plugged fully. Did a bit of bending on the mounting bracket and haven't had any problem since
