Ive just moved house and tried to set up my desktop after packing it away and now when I power it on, the BIOS boots up and no errors are found but when my computer tires to boot into Windows 7 a continuous fast beeping sound is made and a black screen is displayed.
What I've done so far:
- Reset to UEFI defauts
- Played about with RAM, I had 4*4 GB sticks, I took all of them out to test for a mobo error which I have and now im only using 1 stick of 4 GB.
- Changed my GPU, I tok my gtx580 out and now im using the onboard Intel 3000 graphics driver, the BIOS and uefi are correctly displaying so I no longer think its a GPU based error.
- Ive check all of the connections and nothing seems to be loose.
My HDD setup is:
- 2 128 GB SSD's in Raid 0 as my main C drive (possibly cause of error?)
- 1 1 TB Games drive
- 1 2 TB Data Drive
Ive also got a blueray drive connected.
After searching the internet im pretty much out of suggestions but im currently downloading a live CD to see if it will boot and if I can access some files on my HDD.
