Okay so today I packed up my desktop, as I do on a weekly basis to go over to a friends house. I strapped the tower in with a seatbelt, it wasn't dropped, nudged or anything.
I get to the place, set everything up and when I powered on the machine I saw it got to the screen where I could go into the BIOS, change boot order, etc. Then it restarted... only this time It would beep 4 times at a black screen and keep beeping at me.
Sometimes I can shut it down by holding the power button, other times I have to flip the switch on the PSU. I've tried everything in the sticky on Gigabyte motherboards here on the forum and still nothing. I've taken the entire computer apart three times and removed all dust, checked the quality of all the cables, and made sure everything is plugged in correctly.
All my fans start up, HDD boots up but it's still at a black screen. The last thing I tried doing was taking out the RAM and putting 1 stick in each slot and trying, still nothing except for now it beeps TWICE, pauses for about 2-3 seconds and then beeps twice again and a third time very quickly.
The lights on my keyboard, mouse and headset do not come on when I power on the PC, either.
All other hardware:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Thuban 6-Core 2.8GHz Socket AM3
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM
G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
EVGA 650ti 1GB Boost
If you need to know anything I've left out just let me know. I've had this set up for 3 years, (minus the 650ti, got that a few months ago) and I've never had a single problem with the machine. I've been at it for 6 hours so I hope someone can give me some useful information!
