Turned on computer and walked away as usual this morning. Came back into office and was froze on the Windows boot-up spalsh screen (no noises). Hard shut off. Pushed start button and got only beeps. no information to the bios screen or boot sequence. It sounds like two long beeps, then a shorted one, then continual long beeps uuntil it shuts off. I have celaned the CPU and fan, removed memory and swapped slots, and back again. removed graphics card (NVidia 6200 AGP (all I could afford) Dont want to throw parts at it, but it seems graphics related. Thanks for any help. John
The Beeps at start up usually signify a memory fault. You may have a failed RAM stick and just swapping slots will give you the same problem. Get a known good stick and fit it in place of all of yours. If it works, then remove the good stick and start fitting your own memory one stick at a time until you isolate the failed stick. The removal of the graphics card with no change isolates that from the list.
Thank you Michael,
I removed both DIMMS and replaced one with a know good stick. Still beeps at start up.Two longer beeps then one shorter on the long ones until it turns off. I appreciate you reply
From what you say it may be worth taking a good look at the capacitors on your motherboard. You need to make sure that they all have either flat or dished-in tops. In the event that you find any that are domed then you will need to either replace them (if you have the skill) or replace your motherboard. Your board is not exactly in the first flush of youth.

Hi this is tech crazy
The solution to the problem is as follows
The main reason for CPU fan overworking or not working is due to the load we put on the syatem while operating.So,the first reason for fan not working may be due to the SMPS malfunctionality.Better check out for it.The reason if fan is working but Overworking is due to viruses is system.So go in for format
Hope this solution helps you
Please do rate me on the above said solution

The beeping that you hear are bios codes. These codes are designed to tell you what is wrong or at least point you in the right direction.
It is helpful to list the bios that you are using so that you can find the codes for your bios. here is a site that could be usefull to you and one of the codes that you mention say to reseat the ram or replacing the CPU.

Wire colors do vary from case to case. Normally solid colors like red, green, blue and dark blue are used as positive. White and black are negative. Each jumper pair will share a common color. That common color is negative except when hooking up the speaker wire. Black is used for negative.203 views
