Hello good people of Tom's Hardware,

I recently ran into a few problems regarding my computer. Initially, when I pressed the power button, the chassis fans would run but the CPU fan would not run; I wasn't getting any display using my graphics card and a DVI cable. I removed the motherboard battery and left it out for ten minutes before placing it back in the motherboard. Now, the CPU fan works.
When I press the power button, I'm hearing one long beep followed by two short beeps from my motherboard. I removed the graphics card and plugged my DVI cable into the slot from my motherboard directly, but am still getting no display on the monitor and the same one long beep followed by two short beeps. What can I do to fix this problem? Is there any way I can tell what parts I would need to replace?

Specs:
Asus Z87-A Motherboard
i5 4670k 3.4 GHz (never OC'd)
EVGA GTX 1060 6GB
Corsair XMS DDR3 1600 MHz 1x8GB
Corsair TX650 Power Supply
Windows 10 Pro
Monitor and connector used: DVI cable connected to Viewsonic VA2446M-LED Monitor

Try clear the CMOD by the jumper or removing the battery, mkae sure the boot drive is connected to the 1st SATA port. Also you may or may not install the asus utility software, if you did, check out the BIOS setting. Boot, shut down, and boot, which related to something is not right during POST (power-on self-test). So to clear CMOS will help.

I put in two new sticks of Kingston HyperX Fury DDR3 1600 Mhz ram (2x4 sticks) and i'm able to access the bios and everything. However, the computer does this weird thing when I press the power button: it boots up for a solid 3 seconds before powering down itself, then it reboots and everything works. Is this a motherboard problem?
