I put my computer in closet for a time, now when i boot all it does is beep for 3=seconds at 5-second intervals. I've flashed the BIOS buy no difference. The lights don't even come on for my mouse and keyboard. HELP!!!

I'll give it a try. If it had beeped just 3 times I wouldn't be as baffled as it keeps beeping as long as it is powered up. Strange. Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow. Bruce
