So two weeks ago, my computer froze, I didn't think anything of it and powered it off then back on. However, I did not get any video and got a POST beep of one long beep followed by two short beeps. I am running an ASUS M2N-E motherboard and after some googl'ing it seemed (coupled with the fact that I didn't get anything displayed on my monitor) it seemed I had a problem with my GPU. I took out my 8800 GT and put it back in as well as my RAM, I made sure the connections were clean, but none of that worked. I had decided I was going to build a new machine anyways so today I got my 460 for my new machine in and put it in my current machine to see if my 8800 had bit the dust. Same problem.
Currently the only options I can come up with are that my PSU is not putting out enough power or that my motherboard's PCI-E slot has gone bad. All my fans are running and my LEDs work, my motherboard light comes on. Is there anyway beyond trying a different PSU to determine if it's the PSU or motherboard that's the problem? I have a second PSU I could try this weekend, but it's a bit of a hassle and was hoping to get some opinions here before I resort to that.
Thanks in advance.
