is my PC.
Computer was randomly crashing and grey fuzzy screen and then auto rebooting into 4 short beeps.
so assumed it to be the RAM. So, I unplugged and put them back in , but when booting again I just get a continuous beep.
I have unplugged everything from the MOBO, and been through the POST sticky for testing what could be the issue. The mobo doesn't beep when I have nothing plugged in , but as soon as I put the 4 pin connector in to (which I assume) goes to the CPU, the beeps start. All that is plugged in at this point is the PSU 8/4 pin connectors, fan, heat sink, CPU 4 pin connector.
HDD spins fine, RAM works fine.
Is it right to think that the CPU is gone / mobo is burnt out?
Can anything be done to fix it cheaply? Or is it not worth the hassle?
Thanks in advance, and sorry for the vagueness. Ask any Q's / specifics I may have missed.
Thanks,
Liam
