Ok so here is the deal.... Took a week off from work (starting today) and got home expecting a nice week of relaxing gaming on my system when boom... the **** hits the fan and the rig stops working. :confused: When I start it up the Hard Drive goes absolutely Crazy and lets off about 2 or 3 startup beeps per second (this does not stop). The Fan in the PSU all of a sudden sounds like a Lawn Mower and My monitor is not receiving any signal... none at all. On top of this, the Air bubbles in my Liquid Cooling wont go away which is obviously causing some kind of heating probs.

If any of you have anything to suggest please let me know. It would really suck to not have my PC during my time off.

Thanks all!

The peeps sound like the motherboard is not starting. Memory or CPU malfunction. Water-cooling? Check condensation around CPU. Maybe even dead. Good luck.
 
Im going to take it to the shop tomorrow. See what they can do. Hope this is not the end of a computer which is barely even a year old...
 
The beeps are a POST code - look up POST codes for your brand of BIOS on Google and the beep pattern will tell you where the fault is.
