Error and then 5 beeps

[jaenglish]

Ok So I got my first bluescreen today. After I tried rebooting, it said said something like BOOTMGR is corrupt. Failed to boot. After that when I try rebooting it gives me 5 beeps and nothing shows on the screen. My specs are:
Ati Radeon HD 6870
8gb ram
asus m4a78lt-m le
500w antec psu
amd athlon x4 quad core

I already tried resetting the RAM. Oh and also I recently updated my videocard drivers.

Take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Asus:

The section "1.4.2.3 CPU issue: Beep (5 short)" in particular. My guess is that you caused the CPU power ATX_12V cable to come loose.

Where is that cable located in relationship to the cpu

Unlikely to be the CPU power cable.

No power cable means no CPU power which means the CPU will not even try to run the POST, hence no BIOS beeps.

Ok, so what do you think it could be?

Not according to the Asus, 5 beeps is related to the CPU having an issue preventing POST. See the link included prior.
