I need some help on an issue that is driving me crazy. I have a BioStar M7NCD Ultra motherboard ( http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails.asp?model=m7ncd+ultra )
It was running great with 3 sticks of memory when I purchased this online. I was downloading some stuff off the net and went to bed.
I came back in the morning to a black screen but the PC seemed to be running. No key combo would bring it out of the black screen. So I hit the reset button and I was presented with a single long BIOS beep (stops then repeats) but nothing else.
I have tried the memory in other machines, I have tried the graphics card in other machines - all functioning properly.
I purchased a brand new stick of DDR333 512mb of memory and placed this in the board - same results of the long bios beep.
I have reset the CMOS jumper, I have removed and replaced the battery - same long BIOS beep.
I have tried the normal "tricks of the trade" but still cannot get anything other than the single long BIOS beep, no picture, nothing beyond this beep.
Can anyone offer some help that can get my system back up and running?
