had a power outage now when I try to start up the computer I get 3 short beeps then one long, the computer remains running but no display, the power switch has defaulted back to shut off when pressed. I can hear the hard drives spinning, running windows 7 64 bit 32 gig ram, G-forsce video card and asus motherboard, 750 watt power supply

do you still have the manual for your mainboard because those beeps are a code that mean something specific, look up in the manual or in an online manual what 3 short beeps then one long beep mean and then you´ll know whats broken

bad ram or gpu failure. three beeps codes for most mb. try pc with one ram stick and onboard video if it has it. make sure ram and gpu are locked in.

thanks I figured it out my G-force card was faulty, I picked up a new Zotac and it starts fine now, I examined the old card and found the fan had stopped working causing the card to over heat
