Hey all,
About a year ago I built a desktop consisting of these components:
Foxconn A7DA - 3.0 AM3 790GX RT (motherboard)
AMD Phenom II x 4 955 (CPU)
Radeon 4890 (GFX card)
4 x 2GB Kingston DDR3 1333 (RAM)
WD 500 GB hd
OCZ 600W PSU
Until about a week ago the system was working fine. I then packed it up for my move to Chicago. When I went to set the system up tonight it won't boot (or, at least, I have no video). My first thought was a bad HDMI cable or my monitor was being screwy, but after testing both with another computer that turned out not to be the case.
Originally I was getting a Beep ----- Beep. I popped out the GFX card and the RAM and replaced them all. I also cleared the CMOS jumpers.
After replacing everything I am now getting a Beep followed by 3 rapid beeps.
The green light on the MOBO is still lit. Fans on everything (including GFX card) are all working (not sure if this matters...I'm at a loss right now). I can't imagine all 4 sticks of RAM simultaneously going bad.
So is my GFX card probably dead? (Bought from XFX with a lifetime warranty, so hopefully I can get it replaced).
I can't think of any other way to diagnose this.
Thoughts?
Thanks
