The computer I built has been working fine for 6 months at least. Last night it froze so I shut it off and went to bed. This morning I turn it on and I get the beep code one long two short which is supposed to indicate video issues - no display comes up. I restart a couple times and the beep codes stop happening but still nothing comes up on the screen. I switch out the video card and put in another, still I get no display. I reset the CMOS to no avail. Also it does not start up imediately when I push the power button. I push it and then after 10 seconds or more without warning the comp starts up. Please give me ideas - could the CMOS battery have gone to cause this? What should I do to troubleshoot? Thanks. Config below
