Hello Super_Bark,
Since we don’t know which device is causing this behavior, these are my recommendation:
- Please proceed to test the motherboard with minimal configuration but out of the chassis to discard any grounding issue. (Motherboard, processor, power supply). No memory, no video card, no hard drives.Since we do not have memory installed, you are going to heard 3 beeps.
- Place 1 memory stick on DIMM #1. There should be no beeps and if you press F2, you should be able to go to the BIOS.
- Remove the CMOS battery and leave the system without it for about an hour. Then put it back on and restart the system. http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-028780.htm?wapkw=clear+cmos+battery#datetime
- If you went to the BIOS please, shut down the system, add another stick of memory and the hard drive where the operating system was install.
**While performing this troubleshooting check if the light is on or not.**
If you continue having the same behavior, feel free to contact your local support group for assistance: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/contactsupport?group=processor
