i'd be most obliged if someone can help.
Worked through the suggestions that applied. The other night the computer was working fine and I shut it down normally after a game of splinter cell.
Trying to start up today but all I got was :
Power button light in front, cpu fan, dvd drive light, and phase led lights all go on momentarily ( a few seconds), then it shuts off for about 3-5 seconds, and repeats the cycle over and over until I switch the power off at the power supply.
There are 4 phase led lights which are all green, except for #4, which is red.
Nothing shows on the screen
I reseated the memory and checked the CPU, which is snug, as were all the connections
I swapped out the power supply - getting the same results, with and without peripherals connected.
M/B was installed with standoffs.
Unfortunately I do not have a speaker.
Any suggestions?
It's a fast enough system for me, would like to keep it. About 4 yrs old though, and has worked great since I put it together a few years ago, and it hasn't gotten much use as I only use it for occasional gaming......
SPECS:
