Hi,
I built the following pc 3 days ago:
z77-d3h
i5 3570k
xms3 4gb ram (more on the way).
basic seagate sata 160gb hard drive (ssd on the way)
The pc was working all sat and sunday, but then i go to switch it on this morning and there is no output to the display and 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps (indicating onboard graphics or display problem). Reseated RAM and that didnt help.
Im not a big gamer or anything so the integrated graphics is fine for me, last time i built a pc was about 10 years or more ago, when (i think) integrated graphics were on the motherboard, but from reading around am I correct in assuming that integrated graphics are now on the CPU and the motherboard just provides the connections (vga/hdmi etc)?
Now I know the computer booted up ok as I can rdp to it from another machine and access windows shares etc, so I am a bit puzzled as to what is wrong, the only thing i can think of is that just the graphics part of the cpu is broken, but id be quite surprised as the cpu is brand new and came from a sealed box.
Anything else I can check, I dont mind buying a graphics card as I was going to anyway, but if the CPU is broke then ill send it back...
Thanks
Gary
