sooooo, I am actually on the computer right now because it will boot very rarely.

Hit power button,
fans spin up to max on video card and never come back down. No beep code, nothing on monitor. Unplugged all cards from motherboard and no beep code.

Is it possible that my motherboard isnt supposed to give a beep code?

But, like right now, it booted up fine with no problems in any area.

BEUs Lady thinks its the motherboard. She works for geek squad and knows her shit.

wish me luck.

Unfortunately, most opinion on the Geek Squad couldn't get any lower, otherwise this would send it into free fall.

so you're no help then huh?

while it's on, copy your shit off. my vote is heat or grounding. take everything out, examine it, reseat it, re-thermal-grease it. if it still fucks up, unplug peripherals from the mobo and start adding stuff back til it fucks up.

video card.

something is funky with it. It is extremely hard to get into the computer because there is very little room to get it in. might have bent something at some point. but it seems to be working

it was the video cards fans that were spinning up and staying there.
