| 851610 | 2010-01-25 01:13:00 | Tried resetting the BIOS? Does the PC beep is the RAM is removed? | wratterus (105) | ||
| 851611 | 2010-01-25 01:15:00 | It was connected to the case. I can't see anything onscreen, how would I go about resetting the BIOS? |

| 851612 | 2010-01-25 01:16:00 | Below the CMOS battery (lower right) there should be a blue jumper, short out the pin that's free with that jumper (eg removed the jumper from 1 and 2 and put it on 2 and 3, then put it back on 1 and 2). Switch off or unplug the PSU while doing that. Does your PC normally beep when it POSTS? If not, you may not have a speaker which would explain the no beep when the RAM was removed. If it does, things aren't looking too good for the board. :( See razzar's post below for next step... |

| 851614 | 2010-01-25 01:21:00 | Disconnect anything unnecessary to access bios (HDD, DVD Drive etc..) reseat RAM, Graphics Card, if that doesn't work and you lifted the cpu take it out again and check you didn't bend a pin or something accidentally, reseat the ATX power connector. If the motherboard has on-board video temporarily use that after removing the graphics card to see if the system at least posts fine. If you have multiple Memory sticks try using just one (and try alternating just in case your using the bad one). |

| 851615 | 2010-01-25 01:24:00 | I've never heard a beep from the MOBO before. But if it is the board, how come everything else works, except the video card? | Mister (15201) | ||

OK, so you probably don't have a speaker, no worries there. That can be a symptom of a faulty board, CPU, RAM or graphics card, they all behave in different ways, however we don't know which one has the issues yet, or if anything does. Follow all the instruction is razzar's post and post back with the results. |

| 851617 | 2010-01-25 01:49:00 | Ok. Done what Razzar said, the CPU looks normal, except for the wet thermal grease. But same things, got no response from the video card. |
