CPU goes "beep"
mvolke1:
This may be too difficult a problem to ask on the forum, but some of you may have experience with this.
My cab is built. I test everything on the PC before taking it apart to put in the cocktail.
I have everything installed, double-checked, and flip it on to enjoy "gaming nervana."
Only problem is, my CPU starts making random beeps and boops. No image on the monitor, thought the I-Pac button glows, as does the light on the mother board. The fans kick on, but the CD drawer does not open.
Any thoughts or similar experiences you have had?
Thanks.

That's the POST. Check your mobo manual for the problem code.
Also double check again and make sure all cards, ram, cables and heatsink are all secured.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure what the POST is, but I'll check it out.

Power On Self Test -- basic diagnostics.The pattern of beeps should correspond to a pattern in the manual and tell you what is wrong.

Sounds simple enough. Thanks for your help.
It's been a bit aggrevating being so close...(as the cheesey love song goes) but so far away. :hissy:
