Hello there, I have been having troubles with my computer for several months now, 3 repeated short beeps on startup have been preventing my computer from starting properly.
For several weks, these beeps would last for 15-20 seconds and then the computer would boot. I wouldn't notice any unusual bugs or anything while using my computer after startup.
Now, it just does 2 series of 3 short beeps, turns off and back on again on its own, and so on to infinity.
I have read on several forums that this could be due to ram issues, so I bought a new stick and tried it without the ones I already had, but had the same results. I tried with no ram but I just get a long beep.
My screen also does not get any signal so I'm pretty much blocked here.
Should I change my motherboard? Any suggestions or solutions are extremely welcome as I need to either repair my computer quickly or buy another one if there is no way to fix it.
Thanks a lot
