Good idea. Had a quick look. Lots of info. Did not yet find the POST info that tells me what the beeping means.

That's the "beeps" that you're hearing on startup - the number and frequency of them are telling you what's wrong.

Has always been reliable. Yesterday something went wrong. It beeps (ie - beep, beep, beep - for a long while ) on startup and the keyboard appears to be dead. The screen comes up offering info on what to press to get into setup etc but pressing the keys does nothing. If one waits it will go to the screen that offers windows options for startup like safe mode but again the keys do nothing so one cannot get it to go any further. Any ideas on what I might check first? IE- are there any fuses or that sort of thing that might have popped? Any ideas on web sites that I might go to with my problem?
