OK, guys, I'm not really sure if this doesn't belong to the HARDWARE section, but I'll post it here anyway. Here's the deal:
Two days ago my PC broke. It got a shock from the 220V power, I guess... so, the Power supply box burned out. Tried to fix it - didn't work... so I got a new power supply to try it out. So now, when I switch on my PC, I see the keyboard LEDs blinking one time as normal and then the DUAL BIOS logo Athlon 1700+ 512 MB RAM testing OK and in the bottom: Press DEL to enter setup, or pres ESC to end memory test and then nothing - the keyboard is dead (Although I tried it on another PC - the kbd is working fine) and I can't do shit One more thing: when I press the RESET button, the PC doesn't start at all. It just makes funny beeps once every second or so. Any suggestions where to look for the problem? My config: VIA KT 400 Athlon 1700+ 512 MB DDR RAM RADEON 9000 Pro Ah, and one last thing - when I start the PC with the HDD off it doesn't even complain that there is no system disc (you know - Primary boot disk failure shit) so the problem is somewhere before the booting part for sure

k u say that it beeps 1 time per sec, so its either the memory or the motherboard, my guess is memory.
the run on self test first checks the memory then the HD , so i guess its the memory... try to pull out the memory and place it back correctly and load bios defaults!

I had a similar problem a while back, turned out to be a dodgy memory stick, however could also be that your bios is fried, dont you just hate it when that happens, computers eh?
