Hello everyone!
although i checked up on the net on this issue and have almost found the answer to it, but still would like to confirm this with members here.
i have an Asus P8Z68 V-Pro motherboard. i tried to switch it ON y'day after many days, but it kept restarting for several times during boot-up, and then finally started up fully. now i have experienced this with my earlier PC as well. whenever i used to boot it up after keeping it switched OFF for many days, mostly it DID NOT use to start up without any hiccups.
nevertheless, fearing that tomorrow again something of this sort would've happen, i switched the PC OFF at night. when i started it again today morning, as was expected, it again started giving a problem. this time, it was 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps. the PC had started, but there was no display, and resetting the PC results in the same thing. earlier i had such a problem once when the cabinet was very dirty, i don't remember the beep-code exactly, but resetting the RAM did the thing. this time too, a lot of dust has accumulated inside the cabinet, and as i read on a webpage, it seems this again is a RAM thing, and i'll have to clean up the PC's innards. i had thought of doing this later, but seems will have pre-pone things
has any of you experienced this earlier, esp. on Asus motherboards? please suggest.
thanks in advance!
P.S. - The mobo's manual doesn't contain a 'troubleshooting' section and/or beep-code table, nor the pdf version.
