To rule out HW... try Ubuntu Linux, its free, and will tell you if issue is HW.

well besides it being the hard drive its self i have already tested the rest of the hw and its working fine.

anybody??????? this problem is still happening but i replaced some of the files that i deleted and the beeping stopped but all the rest is still the same. It just shows a black screen with the white blinking cursor. then the cursor moves down a line and stays there.

Does it boot through the BIOS screen and post screen?

 

[AsusG50vtx5]

Yes i still get both of those screens.

Well i reinstalled windows on that hard drive that was giving me the problem and it turns out it is the problem. After reinstalling windows twice the hard drive will not boot up an os. Hopefully this helps come to a conclusion.

Well, Im sorry to hear that... hopefully you backed up all your important data!

At least HDD's are inexpensive today!
