HI, sorry if this doesnt belong..
I have an asus computer, it just stopped working. Google is useless and It's too late to do anything about it and everyone I know is more clueless than I am at this shit.

Whats wrong with it? and what needs to be replaced.
/g/ is not your personal tech support forum. Also you gave literally 0 useful facts that could be used to help you.
install gentoo?

But people on here do a better job of being tech than those brown hindu's do. I would pay you people if i could.
I googled "one long four short beeps asus" and a lot of stuff came up. Start there homes.

bin there, none of those answers served a solution.

Remove the RAM, then put it in stick by stick, boot after every stick you put in.
Usually works for me.

Might be component failure.
Likely your video output source, likely an integrated source soldered into the mobo might be fucked.
Might be worthwhile to test with a dedicated graphics card given there's an available slot.
And this is assuming it's a desktop and not a laptop.

yes it is a desktop
and i do have an additional graphics card installed. maybe the mobo is fucked?..
whats a mobo, motherboard?

yes

>Computer beeps, 1 long 4 short.
This is your most important clue, the motherboard's POST beep code. That said, you need to know what kind of BIOS firmware runs on it (AMI, Award, American Megatrend, etc). Once you know this, you can look up what the specific beep code means.

Yes, a mobo is a motherboard.
if you're running a dedicated GPU, remove it and connect it to the integrated video if one is present.
If you don't have integrated video on your motherboard, replace the card with a spare if you have one.
Your symptoms point to a issue with or complete failure of video components.

>if you're running a dedicated GPU, remove it and connect it to the integrated video if one is present.
And by 'it' I mean connection your monitor to the integrated video source on the motherboard, just in case I wasn't clear.
>>55534270
Try removing the battery on the motherboard and rebooting.
>>55534979
This anon is right. 1 long 4 short on most asus motherboards means a hardware component failure, and since you're not getting anything on your display, there's a big chance your graphics card might be fucked.

Funny.
