Cindy1, I think you are right. In any event, I just RMA'ed the CPU, so in a couple of days I should have the new one and see if that does the trick. If it does, my "local computer shop" and I are going to discuss the diagnostic charges I paid. [evil] I'll post back here with the...

micker377: No, no error (I haven't replaced the video card yet, but I don't think it's even getting to POST), just a long series of short fast beeps, almost like an electronic phone ringing. So far, pulling the cpu is all I have found that will stop the beeps. I have been through 2...

I've rebuilt the system in the open, and with nothing other than motherboard, cpu and cpu fan (and the system speaker) the beeps continue. I pulled out the processor, and the fans spin up like nothing is wrong... No beeps, no POST, but no power fault error beeps.[thumbsup] It would seem that my...

Yes, BIOS has been reset/cleared a number of times, and the little square aux power connector has been in place. Jim, thanks for the point to the FAQ. I'd missed that one. It confirms what I want to do today: Tearing everything out and breadboarding it. Again, thanks to everyone for your...

Great suggestions, everyone. You've gotten my brain going again where it was bumping the walls before. The one thing I did not do was to test outside the case. I am beginning to believe that the board is either shorting somewhere, a brass standoff is carrying current to the aluminum case, or...

I should also have mentioned that we tested both with no vid card and with a different vid card. No joy. TinWeasle Avoiding Responsibility since 1960. Remember, my opinion is only worth the phosphorus it's printed on.

I agree, memory was my first suspect. Yeah, the board has 6 (six) slots, in two banks of three. It wants 1 & 4 populated first, especially to take advantage of hyperthreading. That's where the sticks are. Nice thing is that they are color coded in paired banks, so a foulup is easy to avoid...

Memory was one of the things I had the shop swap out with known good sticks. Good thought though. It sure would be easierif I could get to a BIOS error on the monitor, but it won't go that far. TinWeasle Avoiding Responsibility since 1960. Remember, my opinion is only worth the phosphorus...

While I've scanned back in the forums and have seen a lot about a long, continuous beep on powerup, I can't find any suggestions about a series (lots more than 8 or 10) of short beeps, sounding like an electronic telephone ringer. This is my problem: I just built a new system, but it will not...

So are the machines on the cable modem normally networked? Router or Hub? What is the topology with the cable modem? This may be a routing issue. TinWeasle Avoiding Responsibility since 1984. Remember, my opinion is only worth the phosphorus it's printed on.

ockerb has something... If none of the partitions is made active, they won't boot. Also, does your BIOS need to be shown the new drive? Some older (I'm talking a whopping 2 years or more old) BIOS need to be run and manually told to autodetect hard disks before it can see them to boot from...

DOH! I need to proofread... That should be, "Any new HARDWARE added recently?" Must be losing my mind.... TinWeasle Avoiding Responsibility since 1984. Remember, my opinion is only worth the phosphorus it's printed on.

I know this may sound trite, but has any new software (like a NIC) been added recently? Have you checked the BIOS settings for Wake-On-Lan, or similar Power Management values? TinWeasle Avoiding Responsibility since 1984. Remember, my opinion is only worth the phosphorus it's printed on.
