Having endured a power outage my PC's had shutdown. When trying to start up one of my PC's running the D865PERL motherboard nothing seemed to boot up.

The motherboard's fan and board's green light came up Ok and the hard disks seemed to fire up, but nothing was coming up on the screen. Interesting the anticipated startup beep didn't occur. This is what through me.

After taking out all the memory and disconnecting components the mother board gave the traditional 3 beeps for no ram and so I thought the board might be OK. I got a new battery and this made no difference. Inspected the board for any blown capacitors and couldn't see anything.

Finally I found a spare graphics and swapped this out and the board came up good. The single start beep didn't exist so this is what through me initially thinking it was the board, but no it was the graphics card.

Information for anyone that might encounter a similiar issue.
