Hello everyone,
It been a few months since I installed my new video card, MSI GTX 970 4G. Ever since then, my boot up started acting weird. Normally when the system is booting up, I could hear a single beep sounding then the windows starts loading up. But this time around, it's taking much longer and I could hear 4 deeps. Not constantly but there's like 25-26 seconds inbetween each beep.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it since it wasn't causing me any problem, the system loads normally afterwards. The only difference is that it's taking much longer to load. But I didn't realize that there was much more to this issue than just delay.
Today, I decided to format my PC. I inserted my Windows CD and restarted my PC. After the 4 beeps passed (the BIOS screen) it was time for it to detect the bootable cd, but the screen went blank I couldn't do anything.
This is what I mean by the BIOS screen:
I removed my CD, restart, and tried to enter the BIOS setup.. Surprisingly with the same results. I clicked DEL repeatdly with no use, I tried entering the Boot menu.. Pressing ESC.. But nothing.
At this rate, it'd be problematic if I can't format and reinstall my windows in case of an emergency. So I'd be grateful if anyone could inspire me on how to fix this issue.
Thanks in advance
SPECS:
CPU: Inter Core i5 3450 3.1Ghz 6MB L3 Cache s1155
MB: Gigabyte GA-H77-D3H
RAM: G.Skill Ares 2x4GB DDR3 1600Mhz
VGA: MSI GTX 970 4GB GDDR5
PS: Antec High Current Gamer 620W
EDIT: So I messed around a little bit more. I tried to reset my motherboard with the video card intact but that didn't seem to have an effect. But when I did remove the video card and used the on-board VGA instead, it seemed to have worked and even the beeps are gone (Only a single normal beep at the start). I could probably format my PC this way and then just reinstall my video card when all that is done.
But still, the issue where I can't access the BIOS settings and the unusual beeps haven't been solved yet.
