    Were should i start?

    My styem was working fine till i decided to sleeve the cables, when i reconnected it doesnt post. All i get is a series of beeps and balck on my monitor. Everything has power but nothing appears on the srceen and the only thing the sytem does is beep.

    Any thought on were i should look to find what may be wrong. The beeps are in a long series of about six then it stops then they begin again.

    Sounds like the AGP card or possibly the memory is not seated propperly. The AGP is very easy to dislodge slightly so I would suggest you try and reseat both that and the memory.
