I just changed out my CPU fan. Initially the fan wouldn't start and I was getting a solid tone from the case speaker. I noticed I had mis-plugged the fan connection, fixed that and now the fan is running fine. However, the tone is still there (sounds more like a buzz instead of a beep and is continuous) and the computer will only boot into safe-mode not normal mode.
When going into normal mode it shows the windows logo, that fades away then just a black screen.
I'm thinking video card (I need the video card as it has HDMI and this box is an HTPC connected to a TV) but I'm not sure. If it's the video card then why is the HDMI working all the way up to the boot of Win7 normal mode? And when the black screen comes up the TV is still getting a signal as the TV will have a message otherwise.
Is there anyway I can use safe-mode to help me find the culprit?
