Hi I am having trouble booting up my PC, the system is roughly two years old and has worked fine until now. When powering on the machine there is no signal to the monitor and the computer seems to do 5 short beeps. I have looked at the fault on the net and I found that it is a CPU error, is this true? The system has a Asus A8N SLI motherboard with an amd 3500 processor if that helps at all.

Also I found a proposed method to test if it is a processor issue is to remove the RAM and boot up the computer see if the beep sequence changes, I did this and the sequence changed to a long beep followed by 2 short. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

One long, two short = display fault (graphics adapter, or motherboard fault). Given the 5 short beeps, i'm tempted to say board failure.

Very likely, a CPU error code can always be a mainboard error code...and that mainboard is made by Asus...
