Hello
I have a computer with the board Epox EP-4PEAD REV 1.0
After powering on it makes an alternating low and high beep. The Monitor
stays dark and the computer does not boot.
The power switch on the back of the computer has to be turned on and off
for several times to make the computer start. The Onboard Post-Port LED
displays 05
The manual states that error Code 05 means "1. Blank out screen 2. Clear
CMOS error flag. "
Can you tell me which component fails? or what to do to solve the problem?
Thank you very much for your help

Try another power supply. Are the capacitors on the motherboard bulging?
