    It sounds like your PC has been dropped / damaged and the memory has been damaged and also the power button has been damaged!

    How long was your system disconnected from the power? It seems possible your CMOS settings have changed.

    i disconnected it stripped it down to the bear essentials disconnected the power button chords and still a beep code error and still starts up as soon as i plug it in. should i waste money on a stick of ram just to see if it works or what?

    Your video card may have been dislodged slightly. Reseat it to see if that fixes the problem. It's not uncommon for something like this to happen if you move your system.

    This happens if the CPU is not mounted or seated. The memory and the graphics card can be pulled, and it won't do that. Just the CPU. You don't get a BIOS screen. It powers the system and nothing happens, the reset and power switches don't work, you have to unplug the system to power it down.

    Thanks all!

    Be real, be sober.
