Problem

nox · 10-08-2005, 10:35 PM

I currently have 1.6GHZ P4 computer with 40GB hdd IG memory with a GeCube ATI Radeon 9600 Pro 256Mb video card. Recently upgraded the hdd to a 80GB. Along with the new one i also left the old 40gb in the pc. It was working fine after the upgrade untill the next morning.I turned the pc on, it started perfectly and then suddenly it turned off. Now when I turn on the pc it only gives me one long, three short beeps. Nothing else happens.

Can anyone please help me out.
