I'm replacing this computer, but I'm damn curious as to what could be wrong with it. Basically everything was working fine on it, then one day all these weird things started to happen out of the blue

- Computer would randomly reset a few times an hour....could be opening a program, playing a game, or it may decide to behave and not reset for a few hours (no, it isn't overclocked)

- My USB mouse would suddenly die on me - one minute it's working, next it stops. if I go to unplug/plug it, still doesn't work; only works if I reset the computer

- Everything's working fine, then all of a sudden, in Windows, my motherboard starts beeping, like beep beep beep beep beep (kinda like the sound it makes if you put bad RAM in or the ram chip backwards)....oddly enough nothing resets and everything still runs and I can run applications and whatnot, but the mobo just keeps on beeping until I reset the computer

Any idea what went wrong??? (havn't installed any new programs or drivers or hardware, it just started acting up)
 
Could be just about anything. First thought would be to check your motherboard manual or call their technical support to see what that beeping indicates.

Could be anything. It would be pretty easy to figure out what exactly is failing by interchanging parts. I would start with (each seperately) the PSU, motherboard, prcoessor, or RAM. Could be a combonation of things too.

What are the specs?
