**see my sig in case I forgot something

My computer just shutdown and rebooted. Everything seemed ok. I walked into the nexy room and the pc started beeping - about every 3 secs. I came back and the screen was blank. I tried the mouse thinking the monitor had powered down and nothing happened. Nothing happends when I try the power button. I looked at the mb and the led read C1 = auto detection of onboard dram & cache. If I try the reset button the led readout goes from C1 to FF (system booting, the bios already pass the control right to the os).

I have tried resetting the vid card and ram. No improvement.

Latter tonight I will try pulling the vid card out of my wife's pc( I am writing from now) and see if my vid card is the culprit. I don't have any spare parts to switch out. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks for your time.
 
try with a stick of RAM from your wifes machine (paying special attention to putting it in the correct slot) and see if that works, if it isn't RAM or video, maybe it was the psu, it may have died, or if your comp isn't plugged into a surge protector it may have spiked.
 
Ok, the epox site says that continuous beeps is memory related. Only prob is that I don't any memory to switch out. Gonna have to think about this.

My wife's ram is not ddr so it won't work.
