Hi i had what sounds the same, when u turn the pc on does it beep at u??

If not then disconnect all power from the motherboard including the battery back up leave for 5 min then reconnect. this will reset bios, u will have to run bios set up ie set time and date again but this worked for me. good luck

if it does beep then the number of beeps means something.
