All right here is the deal. About 2-3 years ago I bought and assembled my first PC. Its been holding up fine. Now over the past 2 months I had a nice logitech mouse that has been dying on me(wondering if this might play a role). Now a little before that started happening, whenever I would run various games or lots of media running at once, the computer would give me a serious of warning beeps, but never did anything, besides the occasional blue screen error. So it came to the point where I had to format because I had a system file missing. So I formated and everything, yet I still got those beeps. Well just last week I began having a problem booting the computer with the keyboard and mouse connected. sometimes it would boot with them connected, and then just freeze a few minutes into windows. So now all most everytime I try to boot up I have to take out and reset the cmos battery. I also turned off beeps in the abit setup so I didnt have to deal with it. Well sometimes it would last a while, sometimes not and my comp would just shut down. Well while going through this process the other day, the computer just stopped booting. When I turn it on I get no monitor feed and it starts this like 5-6 second period of long beeps, then waits about 6 seconds, and restarts the beeps again. SOOOOOO.... is this something I can fix myself? Or is it a hardware issue. I heard it might be a keyboard problem which I'm praying it right. I have also heard that my cpu may have fried(comp does need a good cleaning) Or that my power supply just went out(which would make sense with various equipment not working and the computer randomly shutting off)
I installed all the correct drivers I believe when I formatted. Didnt download a bios or anything, or flash it that I can remember, I have always had trouble dealing with fancy tech stuff with my mobo. Btw its a Abit NI8-SLI. thats all I can remember right now. Anyyywhooo... please if anyone has any feedback let me know. Thanks guys!
