Tried to boot today , and I'm greeted to an odd beeping pattern I can't seem to find on the Internet anywhere, and it doesn't seem to want to boot , haven't changed anything about the system for around 3 months , and has worked fine

#

Is there any sort of documentation for the beeping ? Can't seem to find any

Here is a video of it , it from boot

#

It does nothing until 1:08

#

Ish

I see

#

I guess just google around or use other methods to diagnose your issue

#

Do you even see the bios screen when power is turned on or does it not start up whatsoever

#

It's flashing in a 3-1-4-1 pattern maybe , doesn't seem to mean anything xd

#

Doesn't start up

#

All monitors show nothing

ig just try to use process of elimination

#

i know thats really vague

#

but idk what else to say haha

#

?

subtle marten
#

I think so? It makes a bunch of clunking and whirring noises , it does that all the time though

#

I got a new gpu a few months back so it's pretty quiet

#

so do fans spin until infinity or do they shut down after a few seconds of it running

#

I would open it and see but being a 5820 tower it makes an alarm sound then shuts down lol

#

have you tried to see if its a graphics issue?

#

perhaps plugging it into the integrated graphics
