Ok, at start up I get one good beep, then one short beep, then another short beep, it starts to boot for about 5-7 seconds then one beep and instantly shuts off. It then it starts up again, two short chirps, then runs for 60-90 seconds with one chirp, then 15 seconds later 2 chirps. All the time the box is quiet, the hd is idling, no blinking of the optic drive, just the alternating one and two chirps. Windows never loads, and monitor is black (no signal), I've rebooted 3 times with "load fail-safe defaults" and "load optimized defaults" settings, and with cd rom as first boot device, with hd (new & formatted in ntfs) as second. Only things connected are monitor and keyboard.
Any ideas? What am I missing??
Thanks,
Pat
