PC just died, motherboard or something else?

So I'm sitting here gaming and my screen graphics get all messed up. I do a manual restart and on the splash screen I get the same messed up graphics. I turn it off, reseat the memory, video card and clear the CMOS and now I just keep on getting beeps from it. Nothing more.

specs...maybe caps?

maybe your video card is busted? ram is bad? well since you reseated everything....hmm, try different components (only 1 stick of ram instead of 2/3/4, switching memory slots, using different video) if you can.

and posts your specs too! hehe, that'll help as well!

3500+
DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-DR
MSI 7800GTX
300GB SATA HD
500W Enermax Liberty
DVD+-RW

CPU + GPU WC'd so heat wasn't the issue there.

I go to the DFI site and constant beeps on their site means Power source , display card improperly connected.

I go to the MSI site and constant beeps on their site means RAM issues.

PSU has been runnin fine for 2 months since I got it. Rails are always steady. The video card is properly connected which leaves me with the RAM which I have done the take out one stick and try different dimms and such.

First things first eliminate the mobo....
Does your mobo beep....if so what do those beeps mean??

I have never heard of a video card beeping...

Whatever DFI says those beeps mean...believe them and go from there...

sounds like the video card
