I even took Ram out but it still doing same any idea

 

Leave the cover open and check that all the fans are spinning freely. It sounds like it has a heat problem. Is it just one beep?

It may possibly be the power supply. See if you can borrow another power supply for testing.

How to fix Thkxs

 

Sorry it beep three times

 

I just try to replace the power supply same 3 beep no display ram is not installed it look like processor.Thkxs

 

nerdy you won't get a display until you put in RAM.

If the processor is gone, you won't hear anything.

 

thkxs rsinfo when I install ram no beep but no display any idea

 

How many monitor cable slots are there on the back of the PC? Have you tried another monitor or another cable?

 

only one you think i try using AGP card.

 

There's no harm. You don't need an AGP card to test. Any PCI or AGP card would do.

 

There are two types of computer that tend to have heat problems. Laptops and the micro towers (the ones that use laptop components). Both lack the cooling capacity to work BOINC long term.

There are some basic precautions that everyone needs to take. Blow the dust out of the computer occasionally. Make certain that all the fans keep working.

There are three options for keeping your computer cooler if just keeping it blown out doesn't work. BOINC has a built in CPU usage fraction. Typically a setting of 80 to 90% works for most laptops. This setting does NOT work correctly on multi CPU systems. BOINC also has a setting to limit the number of CPUs in use. This does NOT work on single CPU systems. The latest version of BOINC has added a setting for a % of CPUs. This is supposed to work on both. There are also third party CPU limiters that can be used to limit the fraction of time that BOINC runs. These are a bit of a pain as they require you to set up a policy for each executable.

 

i tried installing V-card (AGP) but no display.Monitor is ok coz I connect it to other PC.There is no beep.

 

Sounds like the motherboard port(s) are shot to me...

 

Remove any added hardware, disconnect all the drives, even disconnect the keyboard and mouse and see if there is any change.

Read in the motherboard manual for any troubleshooting suggestions and look for FAQs at the manufacturer's website. Look in the manual for how to "Clear the CMOS ".

It might just be at the end of it's lifespan.
