What does that mean? Does it beep again? does it switch off again? Does it start working and then fail the next time you switch it on?

You could try and pull out all your extra hardware and see what happens. If that works then put in your peripherals one by one and check which is faulty. switch it on after each is connected to check if it still works.

Or, better yet, what was the last thing you did before it failed? Was there a bad shutdown? Power surge/brownout?

If you check you motherboard manual it will tell you the problem (based on the type of beep). If you don't have your manual your a fool and need to go onto the net and use something known as a search engine to solve a simple problem.

? quoting fraggard

What does that mean?

Even in moments of non-communication there seems to be vast amounts of info transfered from thems thats dumb to thems less so.

I can see very clearly that this fella needs help. He might solve his PC issues someday, but his brain will forever be short a few cells.
