    Computer woes: Long mobo beep

    Ok, I only get the beep when the speaker wire is plugged into the mobo, so it has to be coming from it. I completely took it apart and put it back together, same thing. I even removed the heatsink I installed because thats when all this started happening. Do I need a new motherboard? Can I...

    Why the beeps?

    I doubt it's because of the fans...

    Why the beeps?

    Yes, I shorted pins 2-3 as the motherboard manual describes. I let it sit for about 3 minutes. I switched it back to pins 1-2 and powered on. Same deal. It's hard not to give up at this point. I just have no idea what's wrong. I'm so pissed because I got Half Life 2 today AND my new...

    Why the beeps?

    Another thing I noticed is that it immediately powers on when I flick the PSU switch on the back instead of when I press the power switch in the front. Anybody have any idea whatsoever?

    Why the beeps?

    I just took everything out including the motherboard (disconnected absolutely everything) and put it all back together. Same thing. Just powers on, everything turns on, fans, harddrives, my lil neon tubes, but one long heartbreaking beep with no video. Silent for a few more seconds then beeps...

    Why the beeps?

    Something in my case is beeping. I can't tell if it's the motherboard or something from one of the bays. It's one long beep with 2 second or so pauses (continuous). I checked up the beep definitions for the phoenix bios and it says it may be a dram problem. My ram is brand spankin new...

    Computer woes: Long mobo beep

    Bump Is there any possibility that the sound may not becoming from the motherboard? Everything seems to be connected fine, this is driving me nuts. It sounds like it just might possibly be comming from a device in the 5'' bay (I have a sound card with a device for the bay, a floppy + media...

    Computer woes: Long mobo beep

    I have the MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum motherboard. I am pretty sure my ram is plugged in correctly because all of it's LED's light up and monitor the ram usage (whereas when I had it in the wrong slot, just one orange LED lit up). After I plug in the power and when I hit the PSU switch on, the...

    PC to PC file transferring

    I just built a new computer and I want to get all my files off of my old pc. I searched google up and down but apparently I'm just not using the right search phrase. I figured since I can directly FTP from my xbox to my pc (over a router) I could just pop that cable out of my xbox and into...

    VIVO Question...

    I plugged in the adapter from the vivo port to s-video out, plugged in an s-video cable from the adapters out to my tv. Is it not that simple? Because I'm not getting anything on my tv and the manual explains NOTHING about it excet that the tv needs to be NTSC or PAL. Mine is NTSC.

    New audio setup, no sound.

    Ok, does this mean I can't use the direct input? From Logitech.com The z680s come equipped with both digital coaxial and optical inputs. The unit also contains a digital decoder that can decode either Dolby Digital or DTS signals, which you may connect to your computer by a 75ohm digital...

    New audio setup, no sound.

    Okay, cheap speakers get sound from line in. So I guess it's the speakers. Thanks big time. Now I have to play around with those.

    New audio setup, no sound.

    I'm lookin for a pair right now. I'd doubt that though because I can hear them click when turned on and hiss when the volume is turned way up... I'll test some headphones
