1 long beep and 3 short beeps
« on: July 05, 2014, 06:41:29 pm »
When I boot up my PC I hear 1 long beep and 3 short beeps, after this the lights turn on and it looks like it is running but no image shows on screen and I don't hear anything. I am using a GA-H77M-D3H motherboard. I think I need to buy another motherboard.

I have tried taking out my graphics card (GTX 650 TI Boost) and replacing it with a GT 440 but that didn't help, so I tried taking out the graphics cards all together but nothing changed. I think something is wrong with the BIOS and I need a new motherboard but I don't want to do that without needing too. I can't reinstall anything because I can't see anything.

1 long and 3 short beeps usually means Keyboard error.

Then I don't know what's wrong, should I just get a new motherboard because even if I find out what is wrong, I can't do anything if I can't see or hear anything?

Did you try a new keyboard or different keyboard to see if it made a difference?

I don't have a spare one so I took mines out, but it just made the beeps again.

Which version of BIOS are you running?

Could you list your main PC components CPU, RAM, PSU, GPU, monitor, etc as this might help us narrow down the problem?

What were you doing on the PC when the problem first  happened?

I have a GTX 650 TI Boost 8gb of ram (can't remember what make) two 500gb Tobisha hard drives GA H77 D3H motherboard and an I5 3470k. Everything else was built into the motherboard. The bios was gigabyte 3d bios.

Thanks for the help, but I've sent it of for repairs. Nothing was working.
