Hi, my pc won't startup. I've read the sticky. Initially I was on the computer, all of a sudden it did a constant beep and froze. When I tried to startup again it gave a short beep (normal), the fans would start, then it would turn off, and just repeats doing that. After trying a bunch of things today, the fans still repeat the process but there is no beep, just silence.
Specs:
Gigabyte mobo GA-P55M-UD2
Intel Core i5 CPU 750 @ 2.67GHz 2.79 GHz
Windows 10 64 bit
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 ti
Ballistix DDR3 ram, 24 gb (16+8)
PSU Corsair CX750M - 750 watt
The PSU is brand new, I figured that was the problem. It wasn't. I've switched in an EVGA 550w and Logisys 480w that I know work and that didn't solve the problem.
I switched in my old graphics card that still works, a GEforce 560ti, that didn't help.
I've detached all the peripherals. I've done the one ram at a time thing. No ram (which is when the beep went away.) I've quadruple-checked the power connections to the motherboard. I've tried to start up with no graphics card at all. I've reset the CMOS battery, I've replaced the CMOS battery. My CPU fan runs fine as do the others. I've checked the motherboard for little bulges, I can't see any. I've cleared everything away from the mobo. I have electronics air spray and used that to clean.
I suspect there is a short somewhere but I don't know how to find and fix that. I'm also nervous about anything with the CPU. So please let me know if I missed a diagnostic process somewhere, any help is welcome, even if you think the mobo is fried. (It still has its lights.)
