A PC build on the Asus Z87-K MOBO has worked fine for 9 months.
Now itgives out one long and three short beeps at start up indicating "no VGA available", but there has never been a descrete graphics card in this machine.
It uses the onboard Intel HD Graphics of the i7 4770 CPU.
If I turn the machine on and of maybe 100 times, it will suddenly boot just fine, and work for as logn as I only set it to slumber but does not turn it of completely.
It has a PCIe FireWire card, could it be this card, that the MOBO mistakes for a graphics card?

It's a Windows 7 Pro. 64-bit machine with 32 GB of RAM
The harddrives start up, so I don't think it could be the PSU.

I'm not sure, but it used to be ami bios, now it's uefi, and I don't see, who produces it.

I can only give you this build, as the pc is not mine, I put this question for someone els, who is not off the internet.
The PC cannot boot anymore - not even after 1000 tries.
