386987 2005-09-08 22:55:00 I have just installed a new motherboard. First start up was fine except for screen res. which I was prompted to rectify.
The computer shut down. On re starting, I checked BIOS which seemed ok but when I got to the (I think 4th or 5th item) screen froze.
On re starting I now have a blank screen with a single beep code.
(I would guess long and also sequence continues.)
It is Award BIOS.
I have checked various sources which (to me) give various answers.
(1) No system failure - check screen connections
(2) Ram
(3) Motherboard.
Your opinions much appreciated.

All respect due, a better description of your issue would get many more people looking at this thread than would with a subject of "Help please". For all I know you could be after help with finding a typing tutor program.

386990 2005-09-09 02:55:00 Managed to get into BIOS on second boot. It froze after a couple of minutes.
From then on, only response is single beep code (on going)and blank screen. Drives, keyboard etc. do not light up.

Thanks Jack

No. It is a hard drive from my redundant damaged motherboard. Windows installed. On first boot, I got to the desktop, Then the above trouble started. Thanks
