Look what I woke up to this morning.
It won't even start now. I just get a blank screen and continous long beeps.

Afrer taking the pic. I restarted the computer and it came up with a CMOS checksum error and crashed. I restarted again and went into the BIOS. I resaved and it went into windows ok this time. However, it froze shortly after and now it won't start up at all.Comment

They do mention it a lot. My computer is on it's second motherboard, third PSU and second hard disk! It is only two and a half years old.Comment

Like chewy said also video card, or memory maybe.
Keep Plugin away Comment

I think it maybe the graphics card playing up. I am not getting anything on the monitor. It would also explain a few random restarts and Windows freezing on me which required a restart.
I updated the graphics drivers after the first random restart and it settled down for a while.Comment

hmmm, sorts out driver/settings issuestry safe mode,Comment

I can't do safe mode if the computer won't start.Originally Posted by ChewyComment

NVidia Geforce 4 MX440. I don't have another card (PCI or AGP) to try at the moment.Comment

If it happens again, I would pull all connections, cards and CPU and reseat everything to be sure it was not a connection issue ..... especially the video card and your Main power connect to the mobo....
