Damn! A pc I have for one of the kids has decided to stop working.
All leads are secure and power is on. It worked fine last night up to being switched off.
Now, I press the start button, power light comes on then there seems to be a 'click, click' sound followed a few seconds later by one beep of probably a second or more (its not the normal 'short' POST beep!).
This beep repeats every couple of seconds. Meanwhile, the monitor shows power, briefly lights up then goes off. Fan is working and HD seems to be spinning.
You cant boot to safe mode or enter BIOS as nothing happens except the above.
There's a green and red LED lit on the base unit (its a bespoke pc so no point posting manufacturer etc)
It hasnt been dropped, moved or kicked (but soon will be if I cant get it sorted!) so nothing should have worked loose.
Any ideas?
