I have a M4A88TD-V EVO Motherboard and I'm having an odd failure. On christmas I went to boot my PC, it powered on, but didn't bring up the monitor. It was running the night before.
I didn't have the speaker plugged in, later in the day I plugged it in, powered on and I got "Short Beep", then about 4 seconds, and then 3 (I think 3) really fast beeps that all happen in about a second.
Based on my googling, this means there is a VGA failure. I took out my PCI-E Graphics card and attempted to boot using the onboard graphics. Same error. I then unplugged everything from the motherboard except the monitor (now plugged into the onboard port). Same failure.
I tried removing all but on DIMM, I tried trading that first DIMM for others. No change. I reseated the CPU, no change.
Finally, I ordered a new PSU hoping that was the problem. No change, same exact beep code, no matter if the PCI-E card is in or not.
Any ideas? All I really have left to swap are the motherboard and CPU. I'd rather not play part roulette anymore.
Thanks,
Jason
