Hi Guys
I'm new here so please forgive any stupid questions before I ask them!
last week I bought a brand new HP Pavillion s3514 slimline desktop.
One night last week the screen froze and became green and pixillated.
I turned it off tried to reboot.
However, It will not POST or enter BIOS. I get a series of long beeps, lasting about 15 seconds with the same interval inbetween each one. I looked at some beep codes but cannot find this particular one.
The monitor says no input signal received and goes to sleep. I tried this through a laptop and it works fine.
Now obviously this is still under warrenty or guarantee or whatever BUT -
I have ALL my business files and personal familly pics etc on here literally everything. Because it was a new machine I didn't yet back up.
I don't want to take this in for repair, because I have heard so many stories of drives being formatted for no reason or as standard practice. i just cannot risk this happening!
So I need to try and fix it!
Please help guys if you can, I am depending wholeheartedly on you!
Thanks so much in advance
