4 weeks ago I started to install a couple of fans in my pc. Now I'm finished, plugged all cards in and started the computer. All I get is a repeating beep sound but nothing else. Can anyone help me?

The repeating beeps indicates a VGA card problem. Try removing the card from its slot and reseat it again. Make sure its seated right and try again. If that dont work and you have an other or old VGA card laying around, put that in and see if it will boot with that.

Good luck.

I've cleaned the vga slot and tried it again and now it works. But the pc only recognizes my cpu and then it stops. The Keyboard doesn't have any effect, thus I can't enter the bios. I even tried to set my bios on default, but still no effect.

Please help me I'm really desperate

- Make sure everything is seated or plugged in right.
- Try unplugging and replugging all cards and connectors, incl. harddisk cables and DIMMS.
- Try flushing your BIOS settings by setting the jumper on your board to wipe your settings.

If that still doesn't work, unplug all the cards and start booting with only video at first. and add cards one by one at each reboot.

The problem might be IRQ conflicts provided that you might be plugging in the cards at different slots than how they were when you started. By plugging in one card at a time. that would be easier to troubleshoot.
