I am trying to fix a friends pc. It's a few years old. She turned it off while she went away for 5 weeks holidays .. and came back and tried to turn it on and it gives 1 long beep and 2 short beeps. I unplugged everything and reseated it. Still same thing. I now have everything unplugged except ram and graphics card as it is a Gigabyte mobo and has no onboard graphics.I can get it to come on a give the normal 1 beep ..the monitor light powers up but nothing comes on the display...no bios just stays black. I have tried 2 gpu cards and same thing happens with both. tried swapping over memory sticks and Power supply. Google searches on bios error beeps suggest GPU failure but neither card works. I am just about out of ideas..Could it be the AGP slot ?..She left it plugged into the wall but turned off and the phone line into modem...there have been a lot of storms last few weeks maybe it has fried something?..Any ideas?
mobo is a Gigabyte GA-8ST667
