This thread touched the right suspects (beep‑code clues, overheating, motherboard, PSU and disk). Contributors such as , , and raised those angles, and later reported a corrupted hard disk. The notes below explain why a failing drive can produce the symptoms seen here, and provide a compact, practical diagnostic checklist that remains useful years later.

A dying HDD often causes intermittent restarts, blue screens and failed installs because the BIOS/bootloader or OS hits bad sectors or a corrupted boot record. A single short POST beep on many BIOSes usually means basic POST passed (CPU, RAM and chipset), so a black screen after that commonly points at the boot device, storage controller or video path — whereas no beep at all usually signals a power/mobo/CPU/RAM fault. Beep patterns are BIOS‑vendor specific; the board manual is the authoritative reference.

Recommended quick diagnostic checklist:

  • Record the exact beep pattern and consult the motherboard manual or vendor beep table.
  • Perform a minimal boot: disconnect all drives and peripherals, fit one known‑good RAM stick in the primary slot and use onboard video (or a known‑good GPU). Note whether POST completes and the display shows BIOS.
  • Swap RAM sticks and slots; inspect motherboard for bulging caps, burn marks or loose power connectors.
  • Test video path: different cable, different monitor, or remove discrete GPU to use onboard output.
  • Verify PSU rails or swap in a known‑good PSU; flaky power causes intermittent faults.
  • Boot a Live Linux/USB diagnostic environment and run SMART/manufacturer tests on the drive.
  • If data is critical, create an image before heavy testing.

Example diagnostic commands (Live Linux):

sudo smartctl -H -a /dev/sda
sudo ddrescue -f -n /dev/sda /media/backup/image.img /media/backup/ddrescue.log

Handle components with power removed and ESD precautions. If hardware handling is unfamiliar, professional service is recommended. The above sequence helps separate storage failure from motherboard/PSU/video faults and preserves data where possible.

When pc starts the normal beep sound is heard which is common in most of computers

What PC are you using and what is the model number? Are you good with PC, if not I suggest taking your computer to have an expert to look at it, your problem is very broad and there are many reasons that can cause a black screen.

Thanks for the specs but the problem is very broad and it will be very difficult to actually diagnose the source and help you. Try taking to a repair shop and have an expert to closely look at your problem. Sorry for not being able to help you

sounds like the same hardware problem as the broken IBM in my hall, something is fried, but i don't know what. i think maybe the processor is overheating. try cleaning the heat sink & processor(professionally).good luck to us both!

I have Dell 9300 and I have similar problem. It starts and for less than 1 second see Windows (XP) start and then it goes blank. The hard disc is working and flashing but nothing on the screen.

Member Avatar for skilly

my theory is fried CPU, but i need another CPU or MOBO of same socket type to test...

Member Avatar for jingda

Between the two, I would choose motherboard as that the most common causes.

Member Avatar for skilly

hopefully cause it was pretty quick 3.4Ghz pentium4 dual core!
i tried many, many thimgs as that IBM slowly died, cleaning, cpu cream,
a big possibility was broken circuit at the psu socket due to many components&wires jammed together in too small of a frame.
