My power went out in my house and when it came back on I started up my computer which and it worked, I played a game which then crashed multiple times and i got a notification pop up saying something about nvidia driver but can't remember what it said. I thought that maybe i just needed a restart so i restarted my computer.
When my computer tried to restart it would not post properly I got 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps. This is a ram or video issue for my motherboard.
things i have tried:
I have turned everything off unplugged and just reconnected the power lead only tried that same post beep. I then tried with also the hdmi cable plugged into 2 different monitors, i also tried a vga cable. Both the monitors just display no signal detected with the same post beeps.
I have taken out the battery on the motherboard to try reset the bios settings and reinserted it this didn't change anything.
I took out my video card and then put it back in. again no different result.
I took out the ram one by one again no effect.
After reading some forums I have heard that it may be a problem with my psu because it can still give enough power/voltage to keep everything on and fans running but may not be giving out enough or may be faulty. Maybe due to a spike due to the power cut.
It might also be a problem with my graphics card.
My pc specs are:
cpu: i5 2500k 3.3ghz
graphics card: gtx 560ti
psu: corsair 550 watts energy efficient.
ram: 8gb kingston
hard drive: 500gb western digital.
os: windows
Also on the motherboard it has surge protection written on it.
motherboard: asus p8p67 LE
