Hello all, I have a Gateway Fx Pc that I've upgrade to the following specs.
i7 860
Asus Gtx 760
Corsair 650w psu
8 gb ram
Windows 7 premium
H57 mobo

I was playing battlefield 4 when as usual the game froze. I put the pc to sleep then woke it up to get out of the frozen game screen (nothing else works). When it was waking up it just died. Now all I get is everything comes on and beeps if I don't have my gpu plugged in. No display just LEDs fans and beeping. I have tried a separate PSU and GPU and every combination there of. If I plug in any gpu the pc does nothing. I have also replaced the CMOS battery and cleaned everything. I have tried removing all the ram except one stick and each stick separately with each psu and the gpu.

I originally had the standard 450watt psu hd5770 combo in the unit and only upgraded recently so I know the parts I swapped should still be perfectly fine. What (if anything) can I do to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help!

One long beep followed by two short beeps. I think that's a graphics error? Thanks for the help!!

Yup its a graphics error. Try re-seating the graphics card and also check your monitor cable. It is also possible that something could be screwed up with the graphic card.
Hope this helps :)

It was actually the psu, Gpu, and mobo. The psu fried the mobo and Gpu. So much for corsairs great reputation, '32 day old psu.

Was the wattage sufficient for your setup?
