Motherboard beeps with no video

[Nenshou]

I took my computer apart to clean it with compressed air. When I put it all back together and tried it, it has constant long beeps, and after the third one it starts sounding like it's playing pong. I re-inserted the ram, and checked for dust again. Any ideas? It sounds like it boots Windows, but there's no video. :rolleyes:

Remove and reinstall the processor.

I took it out, cleaned the dust chunks out, and put it back in. Is that what you mean? :rolleyes:

Wait.....hold up there. It's probably not that drastic at all. Carefully check any wires you may have unhooked like the CPU fan header that usually goes to CPU1 - look to see if you see ANY dangling wires at all. Take note if you unattached ANY wires or IDE cables. Did you? Did you change anything.

Also list your specs please - If you have ab ATI 9500 Pro - 9800 Pro you have to connect the 12v Molex to back to the PSU molex. Listing your specs will help. If you took anything out at all - list it here. And list your specs - . Another thing is do you SEE any fans start to spin at all, especially the CPU fan (heatsink). I highly doubt a CPU reseat is needed here. it's probably something very simple if it was working fine before you cleaned it.

All fans work, but I can't see if the video card fan works. I think it does. I was messing with the wiring, but I checked 3 times to see if it was all plugged back up. Unless there's a loose ocnnection I missed.

I have an 800 Celeron with the recommended cooling
256MB generic ram
Epox EP-3SPA motherboard
Radeon 7500 (Power Color)
Sound Blaster Live X-Gamer 5.1
Win ME

I may have blown the drives too hard if that matters. I'm doing this in school in a hurry before I get caught not doing my work. :t Sorry if I left something out. It may be that I blew the fans in their opposite directions too much when cleaning it. They're definitely louder than before.

As should have been said before anything else. reseat the video card, then go from there if the problem remains the same.

Reseating the video card didn't work
