is the memory the origonal memory that came with pc is there more than one piece if so take one out and try booting with only one if nothing happens change them round, or have you got any spare sticks of memory you could put in and try. if the memory is bad even one piece in a number of slots the pc will not boot. computer parts do fail with use but pcs can be brougt back to life when parts are replaced.sigpic -
messed about so much disturbed some wiring really small bullet connectors,was not sure if replaced back in same position rebooted pc still getting continuos beeps. booted up with orig mem windows came on when reboot just blank screen.Comment

did they come out of a thick, white connector with about 20 pins in? or was it a connector with 4 pins? either way sounds like power - you might have caused damage.
disconnect EVERYTHING except the 20 power to the mobo, the 4 pin power to the processor. disconnect drive cables, remove memory - everything. every take out the graphics card.
see if the beeps change.Comment

the beeps are memory tests, a continuous beeb is faulty memory, as for the bullet things, are you talking a bout the front panel wires? usb?

thanks for your help,when i booted pc back up got one beep then pc screen came up with message cmos set to default and another one i cannot remember.but gave me an option to press f12 to proceed so did so, then windows came on desktop and everything, i even deleted a few movies, files and played part of movie everything was ok. the strange thing was when i powered off then reboot just blank screen no single beep nothing but fans and lights on on front of tower.Comment

i had a similar problem a few weeks ago...just a blank screen. Fans & lights were on. I confirmed the grafix card was ok by swapping with a spare & changed output cables I got the same result. Turned out to be a bad connection between the mobo & case. To verify I pulleed out the Mobo & placed it on some insulating material, only left power connections & grafix card intact...away she went booted with output to screen.Comment

what i cant understand is why windows loaded then i worked with it, then after re boot would not work.Comment

Do the lights on the front of the tower look as though the system is trying to boot or are they just the power on lights? I am thinking memory or graphics for this one. As suggested previously, try disconnecting everything and going through it all one by one.
If you can remember the series of beeps (or lack of them) or if they are different when you try something else it would be a help to try and diagnose the problem.
Or you could just give it a bloody great kick. Probably wouldn't work but you may feel a bit better for it (humour)

does sound like the hdd, check the connections 1st. then put your xp disc in and boot, select r for repair. i should give you the option to run a chkdsc this is a scan disk utility that fixes most errors
you can get windows to do this for you also but you need to get windows running, if it does boot go to properties on your hdd and click tool/maintanance(cant remember the name) there you will see chkdsk. select the 2 tabs and it will schedule a scan on next reboot.Wavefield Ds 55cm at 13E 19E and 28E receiving everything out there on 2 dm800hd

if i am reading this right on the POST test you are getting bleeps count the bleeps this will tell you where the fault is
as for the f12 and cmos it will be the cmos batt 2023 replace that reset everything
you might find that will cure the problemsLove Your Shed
