I recently built a budget pc with s754 mobo....I used it for a month and changed the new cabinet.....for this I moved all the parts frm old to new one...... while moving the mobo and video card they were applied some stress/force (due to tight screws)...now after installing everythng I hear continuous long beeps with a gap of 2-3 seconds....is it a mobo issue?

I found in some article that its Dram error code but guess its mobo one......I replaced ram/graphics card/hdd to hear the same beep......experts here plz suggest me wot to do now apart frm replacing mobo as I cant replace it frm the site I bought?

thanks in advance

First Check All the parts in the box that whether they are connected properly or not. Mostly such problem occurs due to RAM. I also had this once when the RAM freqs. not matched and after replacing it, comp. started working. :)

Try to remove your graphics card and use the onboard video bus to insert the monitor's address bus

Also check the graphic card and motherboard for bent pins, capacitors or transistors

I have this last solution for you. If it doesn't work, i am sorry that i can't help you :( with this problem. Try cleaning your box with a vaccum cleaner. Many a times this works for me when my comp. starts hanging. Good luck ;) :)
