I have had my new computer that i built for about a month, and aside from i virus, it has worked very well.
On the 10th it started randomly shutting off, flashing to a different blue screen than i have ever seen, for less than a second. It then loaded back up and worked for a while longer, playing fear and bf 2142 no prblems. Then again it shut off. Now it did this repeatedly and at closer intervals. Finally it has gotten to the point where it won't even load BIOS, and has a series of beeps, i think about three. Now before it died completely, i got a microsoft warning saying there was a driver error, but installing the old drivers and getting new ones wouldn't work. Now the beeping according to the vid card manuel, means one of three things.
1. The vid card has a problem
2. The motherboard has a problem.
3. The vid card is not seated correctly.
Now i don't see how it could not be seated right because it worked for a long time, and sometimes still works. Same goes for the motherboard. So i am confused why it only works sometimes. I opened the case and the only thing that i can see that COULD possibly affect the vid card would be a temp monitor, that fell from where i tied it, onto the top of the card. Now i don't know if that could affect it, like grounding the circuits or something. Other than that i have no idea what is wrong. Everything is still on warrently, and i might still be able to RMA i if somehing is physically wrong with anything.
PS. I don't have spare parts to test what is wrong, or i would have already done so.
