Hi guys, new here, but i have a problem with my pc. Its been set up and working fine for 2 years, but the other night, it crashed, and started making a weird low pitch growling noise through the speakers (onboard sound being used).
After that, it rebooted once fine, no problems, now it posts maybe 1/20 times, and actually loads windows maybe 1/50 tries, but it always ends up crashing. Most of the time, when turned on, it either turns on, all lights on mb/ram and all fans come on fine, and there is no video, it stays like this for about ten seconds, then reboots, and same thing happens. Other times, it will beep in quick succession, maybe 15 times, then reboot. Other times it crashes at the post screen (where you enter bios). other times it crashes when windows is loading. Most common is the bleeping or no post.
Because there is such a wide range of symptoms, and nothing has been changed, i cant diagnose this, any help would be much appreciated, i've had a search, but as i said, i cant diagnose it cause its so temperamental. Would post spec, but as its been running, i don't see how it will help, if anyone needs to know i'll find out. Cant remember off the top of my head, it is overclocked (dont think i've changed the mem, but proc was 3.16ghz standard, now running 3.6) It has been like this since new.
When it did get to windows the once, all temps were normal (below 40c) and in bios, again, temps normal.
Really stumped me this, going to strip it down and rebuild it, see if that helps. All i've tried so far it leaving it off the power over night, and pressed the power button before reconnecting to power. Dont know where to start! Thanks in advance guys
