This is my first time at DIY building PC's. I have two mATX's that give me no display, POST, or beeps. I've tried general troubleshooting like reseating the CPU, reset the CMOS, and swapped RAM. There's power going to the MB because the LED's and CPU fans are working. I disconnected all the...

I think this is a hardware issue, but haven't discounted a software issue. It could go either way... WIN-10, updated. I have several hardware controllers on my gaming PC. 2 are commercially built, and 2 are Arduino based. I don't really think DiY is a factor in the issue. Problem: After a...

Hi Not too long after startup, I often seem to get this sound with a short beep followed with a longer beep, and I wonder what it might be and how to fix it. Tried to attach an audio file of it here. Hope it works. Sometimes I've also been having occasional problem with my keyboard, where it...
