I can't switch on my PC T.T
It's like dead now. When I press the 'on' button, there is a loud 'beeee' sounds which continuously plays and the monitor doesn't start.
Before it died, on Wed when I was using it, a dark blue screen suddenly appeared and cause it disappeared so quickly I only managed to read the first line which says ' There's a driver problem,....if this is the first time you're seeing this....etc.' and the computer restarts but fails to load windows (I got stuck at the memory checking screen). So I waited for a few hours and it started working though only for a while, say 10 mins, before the whole thing repeated again. However the next time I try to turn it on, it doesn't even start... T.T
Does anyone know what the problem is??
Please help!

Do you know which motherboard you have? They system beeps should give you a general idea of what went wrong (sometimes they are unique to a particular motherboard).
Does your hard drive make any funny noises? Have you tried to clear out the dust inside your case? Did you add new hardware? Have you tried each stick of RAM individually (though RAM shouldn't be the issue unless they overheated which normally only happens on overclocking)?

No, my hard drive doesn't make any funny noises. No, i havent tried to clear dust out. No, I didn't add any new hardware either. And nope, I didn't try sticking any RAM.
My motherboard's MSI P965 Neo.
The beeping sounds are like 2 seconds long and they play continuously (when I try switching on the computer).

I looked through their manual but couldn't find their beep code lists. I found this. Just so I know it's "beep (for 2 seconds), slight pause, repeat". This site mentions that if it's repeating it could be RAM problem. If you have the beep codes available try to match the beeps.
Some things to do is to make sure that all fans are running that everything is connected properly. Dust is of course a big thing to check for so I'd do that first thing as it is pretty easy. Remember to get rid of static buildup by touching a piece of metal before touching anything on your motherboard.
Look in BIOS to see if you can see the hardware monitor (it'll tell you the temperature which might indicate if the computer is overheating or not).

Wow thanks so much for your help, I think it must be a loose card or something since the monitor doesn't work.
