Well, I'm having problems with my new build, the one in my sig. I put everything together and it worked beautifully the first time I booted it up. When I got it home and turned it on it gave me a checksum error and I figured oh great the cmos battery is dead. I decided to get one later and loaded the defaults. I installed all of my programs on the new pc and then unplugged it and set it in a corner for like a week while I got all of my old files off of my previous pc and reformatted that one. Well, tonight I plugged my new pc in, intent to play Oblivion in all of it's glory, when it came up with an error about not having a Bios something or other. Flipping through the Asus manual I saw that I had to insert the mobo cd to reinstall the bios. So I did that and now when my computer boots it will give me one long beep then two short beeps, and display nothing on my monitor. This beep code means a video card problem according to Asus, but it doesn't make any sense since the video was working like 10 minutes before hand. Also, if I restart the pc after getting these beeps (without replugging it in) it will consistently bring me to a blank screen with no beeps, sound, or anything. it will access my opticals and hd then sit idley. If I replug the pc in (reconnect the power cord) it gives me the beep code again.
I highly doubt that the graphics card is the problem here as it was working earlier fine and I didn't touch it. I am certain, at least for right now, that this is a problem with the cmos\bios\mobo. I have also tried resetting the cmos and installing a new battery, but that hasn't seemed to do anything.
I am going to my dad's house tomorrow, which sucks because we'll have to fix my new pc before we can dive right into a gaming session
All help with this is really appreciated, I really want to get my baby working again!
