Resolved soundless xp beeps on connecting to power

she had no sound since the 14th and no virus,malware,trojans etc, broni and i made sure of that.
shut her down yesterday
this morning i turned on the squid and she beeped and would not come on!
is there any hope for her?

 

How many beeps and were they long or short or a combination of both?

 

mr bill she beeped as soon as i plugged into socket. and before i tried to get her on. and she had her keyboard and vmouse attached. i stole her mouse and removed the keyboard and forgot about it. that was a keyboard beep the first time.
i had tower and monitor on a squid,took monitor and put it on box and plugged tower direcly into wall socket. and she beeped,until i unplugged her
jiust retried starting her,sounds like 2short 1 long

 

or 1 long and 2 short
my video card is integrated,as is audio

I had put the link in and hadn't click the Submit Reply but when I got a phone call and then somebody came by the house. They left and I came back into the room and clicked Submit Reply. That was probably a hour or so later.

Two heads are better than one sometimes. Same line of thinking.

 

hi guys its not the monitor its the computer. friend lent me sony monitor and tried it monitor give No input message. computer beeps and except for those beeps i heard nothing coming from inside.no whirs hums nothing that i could hear.

 

Why not try a 'Barebones" hookup?
See if it will work with absolute minimum. Then you can add CD/DVD ROM, Printer etc and see what works. Neil.

just the monitor connected to computer last time.earlier i had monitor,keyboard,mouse connected. same thing "no input" computer is just not talking to monitor or visa versa.
i'd really like to know if i "killed her "by having both sound card and intrgrated sound card,i guess both trying to work at the same time? did I?

 

Nope. You would be supprised how many people do that with sound cards.

 

Hi Jan, Please bear with me.
Your OS is Windows 7?
What type of Monitor is installed?
Is it powered separately?
You don't get one single beep when you switch on?
What is a "squid "? Is this a Multi-plug connector panel with/without surge protection?
You tried another Monitor (Sony) and did not get a picture on the screen?
When you switch on the computer are there any LED's lighting up?

My thoughts are a suspect PSU.
As you said you could not hear any whirrs (Fans) or other noises in the computer.
Let me know if I have summed this up correctly. Neil.

 

retiredlearner im sorry,the computer in question is windowxp media center that ive removed from my system
leds light up for bit then quit.
i think youve summed it up very well
she's dead. right?
