The thread describes an initial crash followed by repeated reboots and now a no-display + beeping condition. and flagged power and peripherals as possible culprits; building on that, the next checks should target what the motherboard is trying to tell you (beep pattern and onboard diagnostics), whether the CPU is supported by the board/BIOS, and whether the board is being prevented from completing POST by a short or connector problem.

Listen carefully and write down the beep pattern (how many beeps, long vs short, and whether it repeats). Beep codes are BIOS-vendor specific, so identify the motherboard model printed on the PCB and consult the vendor manual or support pages for that board. If the CPU is newer than the board’s shipped BIOS, the board can power fans but never show video; many modern boards offer a USB BIOS-Flashback feature to update firmware without a CPU — if present, use that or arrange a temporary compatible CPU to flash the BIOS.

At the hardware level verify the basics that often cause immediate POST failure: proper 24-pin ATX and 4/8-pin CPU power connection, no misplaced standoffs or case screws shorting the PCB, intact CPU/socket pins, and correct cooler mounting pressure. Clear CMOS using the battery or the clear-jumper method, and try booting with only essential onboard devices connected (no extra USB hubs, drives or front-panel connectors). Fit a small chassis speaker if the board does not have one built in; the coded beeps will guide you.

For the original Windows crash when opening a media file, use offline recovery: boot a USB rescue stick, copy important data, and check Windows minidumps at C:\Windows\Minidump. Run offline checks such as sfc /scannow (from recovery) or a full chkdsk /f /r, and run memtest86 from USB to exercise RAM. Take ESD precautions when handling parts, and avoid ad hoc PSU shorting as a definitive test — use a known good PSU or a proper tester instead.

You need to test your if you have access to another try it.

Also if you have more than on stick of memory pull one out try it then swap and try the other.

i already tested the power supply by shorting some pins and i try different memory stick for it and won't display to my monitor.

Do you have a video card or onboard video?

Member Avatar for DENIS KAILIKIA

when cooled booting your computer press F2 which will take you to the BIOS control pannel then ceck the problem make the necessay adjastments.

I had onboard video and never tried F2 but I'll be back to do that first.

I've guest you had video card trouble

Well actually I finally found a dead/faulty USB port at the rear of the machine, I reloaded the drivers and they now all work fine and no re-booting problems.

Okey, It's seems my mainboard crashes and I had to replace it, this weekend just buy a ney board but I encounter some problems.

The problem is my power doesn't consolidate with the other peripherals so I had to replace it by a much higher amperes power supply.

Sometimes when you keep upgrading older machines with newer and extra periferals (USB Stuff) the Power Supply needs to be upgraded also

I aleady upgreaded the PSU also..see different post
