I have a Shuttle AK31 v3.1 that I built a good 6 or 7 years ago and has kicked butt since Day 1, but is now giving me a prob.
I lost video, so in trouble-shooting everything, when I boot I get a 3 second beep with nothing on the board.
No RAM, no drives, no keyboard/mouse, nic, video nothing. Just the power supply and the CPU (XP1700) and I still get the 3 second beep, repeating itself every 5 seconds or so. When the keyborad was plugged in it would flash and that's about the only response I got.
Should I look at the CPU first? If so how can I tell if that is toast?
Or should I look at the mobo and again how can I tell?
If I had to pick one to replace which should I go for, the least expensive or ...?
Thanks all!
