Good day, everyone.
Posting on this forum as a sort of last resort, for I'm out of ideas on this particular situation.
Six days ago, my computer began emitting two short consecutive beeps before startup out of nowhere. It was running beastly as usual, early in the morning, but left the house to run some errands (not before shutting it down, of course). Upon return late afternoon, the aformentioned error ocurred. It actually throws the computer in a loop of powering up-BLIP BLIP-powers down. About 3 seconds later, it tries again, blips twice, powers down again. According to the manual, the two bleeps mean there's a CMOS failure. I removed the CMOS battery for approximately 10-20 mins, and placed it again. No change.
Removed it a second time, left it out overnight and put it back in the next afternoon. Same error.
Removed it a third time, put it in the refrigerator (old trick) overnight and tried again the next day...same error.
Can anyone shed some light as to what could be going on? I built this tower a little over a year ago and this is the first time that it has given me any trouble at all. Haven't posted specs since I don't think specs really apply to the problem, but I can post them if need be. Thanks in advance for any replies.
