Computer Troubleshooting And Repair


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Sometimes when I turn on my desktop, the monitor remains blank. Everytime this happens, I notice that both the power and "reading" buttons stay on and I hear a sequence of 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. The beeps keep repeating until I shut the power off. I usually have to wait around 30 mins. before the problem goes away. What could be the problem?

 

PS. Thanks for all the help I received about my previous pc problem.

"Might" be a problem with the video card. Are you using an add-on video card or the one integrated on to the motherboard? If your using an add-on, try taking it out first and then connect the video cable to the the intergrated video port. Check first if it works. Then we'll see what will do next  :thumbsupsmiley:

My video card is integrated with the motherboard.:)
