Recently I replaced my hard drive so that I could use my computer again as the last one had fried. After a 2 days or so of solid use, today my computer just froze out of no where. The only way to get past this was to power off the computer by the wall as nothing was responding on the screen. When I powered the computer back on, I didn't here the booting up beep it usually makes and my screen remained black. For the last six hours, after powering on the computer it turned itself off after 30 seconds to 1 min.
I then removed the video card (8800gtx) and re inserted it and there was no beep after powering on the computer.
I also did the same with the power supply and tried another brand, the computer was still able to power on but no beep.
I have a P5E mother board. The user manual is in every language but english, so I went on the Asus website and it states that there is a battery and cmos jumper. I removed and re inserted the battery, I cannot find the 3 jumper pins. There is a switch of some sort that is unexplained. So I am unsure as to whether resetting the cmos worked or not.
I also tried to boot the computer without any ram, then booted the computer with one 1GB stick each (to test the RAM was OK) and there was no difference.
I have decent skills in IT but I am not so knowledgeable when it comes to inside the case. Over the years I have had many problems with this same computers hard ware have some how managed to fix it each time. I hope this can be fixed as I have seen many other people on this site over the last 6 years with similar problems with similar motherboards.
I have tried many things that I have read from other posts on this site yet nothing has worked for me.
If anyone can help me with this or has any idea I would appreciate hearing it. Now I have all the original parts back in place in the case but with the new hard drive that I acquired a few days ago. When I power on the computer it just sits on a black screen, no booting up beep sound. How can I fix this? What else can I do without buying new parts?
I haven't ever come across a problem like this before and would love to know how to fix it, or fix it without having to buy any new parts.
Thanks for reading.
