| 159934 | 2003-07-15 09:21:00 | Sorry for the caps guys, but I am very very very stressed First I was reading this post pressf1.pcworld.co.nz then... taking the advice, as my system was also auto. restarting, I made the changes. Then when I shut down, then blue screen came up wif errors. So I reset, it was ok, I made more changes, seeing I it didnt help much. The changes were the two on top of it in Win Xp. I shut down, again the error screen came up, so, again I pushed the power button but this time.... the BIG error came up... PC beeped, nothing else, can't even get into BIOS etc. HELP,....! What can I do, I dont have motherboard manual, etc. Not even downloadable from internet, model GA-60XE. PLEASE!!! I beg you all, thanks in advance.. *trying to calm down* sorry for all the spelling and grammar errors |

| 159935 | 2003-07-15 10:50:00 | First thing you should try sy is remove the battery from the motherboard for about 5mins or so to reset the BIOS. Unless there is a jumper marked clear BIOS on the board somewhere. If there is, move the jumper for 20 secs or so, THEN PUT IT BACK WHERE IT WAS. (most important) If you still don't boot after that post back & we'll head on to the next step. |

| 159936 | 2003-07-15 11:05:00 | Sy, do you see anything when it (tries) boots? What is the beep, the usual short beep or a long one? Is getting far enough to boot to the winXP CD or a floppy? Cheers Murray P |

It powers up, here comes the more tricky part, it will either beep or no beep leaving monitor on stand by and no image. It does this randomly. Could you suggest more actions? Thank you so much for making a effort to reply, if you're on MSN please add me syhyang *at* hotmail dot com |

| 159938 | 2003-07-15 11:15:00 | As I said, it will either beep or no beep (therefore (leaving monitor on stand by and no image) Which it does randomly. At the moment i cant seen anything, beep, if it comes up is the usal short one followed by the long constant one, if coming on randomly, (experienced this for about 2 times out of the tens of hundreds of times ive tested today) Thanks for helping, |

| 159939 | 2003-07-15 11:33:00 | My next move would be try another video card Remove the one in the machine & try another Won't matter if it's agp, pci or isa. Try booting again. Still no go? Try different ram. If you have several sticks in there at the moment, remove them one by one rebooting each time. Still no go? Swap power supplies. If it still won't go after these suggestions post back & I'll send you a comprehensive rundown of things to try. It's always a bit difficult when you're not in front of the machine to diagnose a fault. Hope you get lucky. |

| 159940 | 2003-07-15 11:40:00 | As stumped says and going by what I can gather of the beeps look at your video and ram first. You don't have a ide card on the machine do you and I take it there is no HDD activity? Cheers Murray P |

| 159941 | 2003-07-15 20:30:00 | Sounds bad - I went thru very similar probs recently, and narrowed it down to stuffed BIOS or component on mobo. Fortunately I had a happy ending, by buying a brand new beastie :D | Greg S (201) | ||
| 159942 | 2003-07-16 00:45:00 | Hello guys, thanks alot for your help so far, it's been much appreciated . More updates: I have tested the CMOS battery, that is fine . So can't be that When I start up the computer, if in luck, it will start up, but then freezes after the memory count . If I'm very lucky, it gets over it . . . . but no matter what, it still only counts 64mb of the 128mb I have in there . Slot one is 64mb, slot 2 is 32mb, slot 3 is 32mb . Rang computer technicians this morning, they suggested monitor be checked up . NO not that . Then they suggested battery, but I've checked that, its fine . . . . They suggested power supply, will how? It's doing it job like I want it to, but ever since buying this computer (it was second-hand, they had this problem of restarting too) I *and the previous owner* have used the switch at the main to close the computer as it always restarts i . e . start up again without beep So I conclude, maybe power supply or ram is broken . My Window XP is dead slow now with 64mb ram :'( I, under instruction, am not allowed to pull parts apart from the family's other computers . Except CMOS battery, but my one is fine . Currently, I'm relying on luck . It just isnt getting the other 64mb I have in there . NOTE: I have reset the bios to optomised defaults, and CMOS has been resetted as a result of removing battery last night . All I have changed since has been the date and time . Many thanks for help so far, any more ideas, please! :'( |

| 159943 | 2003-07-16 01:08:00 | Have you tried to over clock your CPU???? If so that might be your problem ;) If not have you had your lights flicker in the last few weeks??? If so you might of had a power surge, & fried something...like what happened to beetle. |
