BSOD...and won't power on for 60 seconds....help!

<< < (8/8)

RayB:
Speakers are never (well, in my experience never) on the motherboard. It always comes with the tower/case and you just hook it TO the motherboard where it says "speaker". This is a standard feature.

hulkster:
eh....well theres nothing like that on my motherboard....as in...no place to plug it in.

I didn't read the whole thread, but I think you're video card is failing.  For one thing, that's the component you were taxing when the problem first appeared (and the power supply is ruled out already).  Secondly, when you rebooted the computer powered on but nothing came on the screen.  The video card is the very first thing to be initialized at power on, even before the POST (otherwise you wouldn't be able to see your computer POST).  While I've seen bad RAM cause a computer to do the same thing, my gut still tells me that your video card is the culprit.
