Booting Troubles

by kal_lmn . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

This is a completely random problem. My computer was working completely fine the night before, went to bed, woke up, and now its encountering a problem. The problem is with visuals during the booting process. It is as if there is no video card when I boot. The monitor says “no signal found” and during boot there is one long beep sound. I checked all connections, moved the video card to a new slot, rebooted several times, and am still getting the same issue. During the boot, I checked the motherboard’s debug LED light, and the long beep occurs during the debug step 26. I checked the manual, and step 25 is shadow vbios/video bios, which sounds like what it might be, maybe I just don’t see that step because it skips the video bios or something, thus the beep occurs on step 26, but step 26 is clock gen (init clock generator and sensor), I have no idea if THAT is the problem, or its what I think it may be. I don’t know what to do. Everything has been working just fine for quite a while now, I don’t know what may have caused the problem, but I use my computer a LOT, and its a major part of my life, so I want to fix is as soon as possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

To recap, my computer boots (gets to the FF debug code [boot]), but nothing is shown on my monitor. One beep occurs during step 26 of boot debug on my MB LED light, everything WAS working fine 9 or so hours ago before shutting down, and I have tried moving the video card, checking connections, and rebooting several times.

My computer specs are:
Windows 7 Ultimate
Corsair BFG 1000W Power Supply
EVGA nForce 790i SLI FTW MotherBoard
GeForce 9800 GTX+ video card
8 GB OCZ 1600 RAM
Wolfdale E8600 3.3 GHz CPU
Standard DVD drive and Hard Drive
Nothing overclocked or tweaked
