how, where would I get one of those? and ESD may be a factor... I've notice an excessive amount of static in my apartment lately I think I need to get a humidifier... as well as a UPS, because I know these lights flicker sometimes.

<div style="direction: ltr;">The vast majority of such cases are power supply related, and sometimes
ESD. Most power supplies that come along with cases are low grade ones.
The best deal would be to test the vital signs of the motherboard with
something such as a diagnostic card. A diagnostic card would test each
and every step of the BIOS, plus would give you reading of all the
voltages feeding the moterboard.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;">actually those beeps and tones would be
considered part of the post. Mine beebs once to say ok. now it beeps
not at all. but I know that multiple beeps can tell me what's going on.
I used to do this for a living... I guess I'll just assume motherboard
and Order a new one...

A PC will require a processor, RAM, and video card to POST. If any one of<br>these are missing, you MAY (depending on model of motherboard, and if the<br>speaker is plugged in) get a series of beeps or tones.<br><br>-Nick Kwiatkowski
