im_not_an_artard

Okay so i think my computer is dying or something

1. My harddrive often isn't found and it asks me to boot from cd, dying/dead hdd?

2. my mobo often doesn't beep on startup and i have to restart it, now i don't get anything to the monitor at all, dead/dying mobo?

Friend of mine had a very similar problem. It was the PSU. Try a different one in there if you have one laying around.

Fyi?

Mobo / hard drive most likely.
But check PSU first, although often if it isn't working it won't sound at all, so try listening for any signs for life, although your PSU is made by a pretty good brand, less chance there.

Last summer when this happened to me it was the mobo, for me at least. Mobo failure can be one of the hardest to diagnose because of its randomness- so many random symptoms, but I'm going to throw in my 2 cents for that one. Hard drive is also a possibility since you mentioned the boot message.
