Morning all,
My comp had been working fine for around 2 months. However since yesterday when i tried to turn it on it will only restart continually in a loop providing no boot screen.
The only beeps i noted where only the initial first boot. There where 4 or 5 sets of continual fast beeping. Each set of beeps lasted around 20 seconds.
After these inital beeps the comp just restarts in loop every 10 seconds now...no beeping....no post screen...no ability to get into BIOS?
Comp specs are as follows:-
Q6600 OC'd to 3.4ghz
GA-EP45-DQ6 with BIOS version F12(i think)
2 x 2gb G.Skill DDR2800
2 x 160gb HD's
8800GTX GPU
Tagan 600w PSU
1 x DVD-RW
Prior to the above fault the comp had been working flawlessly with the OC for weeks on XP. Around 2 weeks ago i installed Vista in an attempted dual boot (2 x 80gb partitions for each on 1 HD) but went wrong somewhere which meant i could only boot in Vista (even though XP is still all there in one partition on my HD). Vista had been working fine also and fully updated to SP1, played games fine etc. The day before the above failure i got a couple of BSOD "IRQ_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL_TO" errors? a restarts seemed to sort them. Then after a normal shutdown....nothing.
Anyone any ideas, whats the best way to trouble shoot this? Its sounds hardware related to me.
Any help would be most appreciated, thanks for reading!!!
