I've had this build for about 6 months with no problems:
Xeon E3110 @3.6ghz
Asus HD4850
Mushkin 2x1gb PC2-6400
Corsair 450VX
MSI P6NGM-L Micro Atx
Samsung Spinpoint series 500gb
When I boot up i get 8 beeps total and nothing appears on the monitor. I looked up the bios code for 8 beeps for MSI mobos and apparently this means its either a video card or memory issue. I am pretty sure it is a graphics card issue because I accidently put a lot of stress on the cable connecting the monitor to the graphics card just right before experiencing the malfunction. Upon close inspection there is no physical damage on the cable, gaphics card, motherboard or monitor. I removed the graphics card from the pci slot and I still get the beeps I haven't tried switching out the memory because these are the only two compatible memory sticks I have.
<I will update this after lunch when I call MSI>
status:
graphics card: works
cpu: works
soundcard: works (no OS booting sounds from ubuntu)
HDD: works
motherboard: 8 beeps, onboard graphics not working
