When I startup my computer it beeps then the caps lock key flashes while the screen stays dark. I have tried dissasembling and assembling again.
Is this a good question?

Finally fixed it don't know how all O did was dissasemble every piece and reaasemble it, except I still have a loud overheating fan even after cleaning it.

Check what you did again to make sure everything is OK
I recommend changing the thermal paste under the heatsink for CPU.
@pyrojanus while you replace the thermal paste I'd go ahead and replace the fan as well. That way you do not have to continue to tear your computer apart....
Where can I buy thermal paste? Best Buy, or any hardware/computer store?

Hi, Here is a link that describes the problem(s) depending on how many beeps and which lights are flashing. Use it to determine where the problem is and then get back here if you need more assistance.

Hi, Count the beeps, see if it is a sequence e.g 2 beeps pause 2 beeps pause etc, what is the beep code as you hear it, plus is it only the caps light blinking?
