Hi All,
I originally posted in this thread,
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/352105-10-sudden-shutdown-trouble-shooting
as my PC was having issues where all of a sudden it would just power off. I have only just installed a new HDD, RAM, Graphics card, and most importantly a brand new PSU. I thought maybe the PSU was causing these shut downs, (see other thread), so I decided to install my old PSU and test that.
Since installing my old PSU, the PC will no longer boot. It starts up, the fan on the motherboard goes to 100%, and then the board beeps 4 times, and then just sits there doing nothing.
I removed that PSU, and reinstalled the new one again. The same thing happens. I even tried starting with nothing plugged in other than fans and motherboard.
I am on an American Megatrends bios, and I read that the 4 beeps means the timings are wrong? And I need to replace the battery?
Could this be what was causing the shut downs in the first place? I really need help as my pc is now dead and I have no idea what to do. My specs are below:
Asus P5QC motherboard
Intel E8500 @ 3.16ghz
8GB DDR3 1333mhz
AMD 5870 1GB
Win 7 Ultimate
PSU: Powercool 700GT 80+

If anyone could help I would be extremely grateful!
Thanks!
