Issue:
8 Beeps after game crash
Other Details:
1. LCD won't light up
2. If you unplug GPU ( GTX 675mx ), LCD lights up but
still 8 beeps issue.
3. The laptop was already crashing whenever a game
is played (mostly League of Legends and it happens
randomly).
What I tried:
1. Reseat all peripherals and also LCD connection.
2. Boot without RAM, HDD, CMOS and their
combinations.
3. Boot into hardware test mode via holding down
Function key after, before and during power button
is pressed. (Unable to get to the hardware test.) Also
tried D key and Function and D keys at the same
time, unable to get to it.
4. Bake GPU at 200°c for 10 minutes, still 8 beeps and
LCD wont light up.
5. Boot without GPU GTX 675mx, still 8 beeps but LCD
lights up and stuck at black screen.
6. I also tried number 3 without GTX 675mx but still
unable to get to the hardware test screen.
Need help :(
I'm willing to buy a second hand GPU if you guys think its the best option.
Also I cant bring it to a DELL Service Center, there doesnt seem to be one here in Philippines.:(

can you be specific on the long and short beep sequence (i.e, 3 long 5 short), otherwise i might suggest you to use a pci diagnostic card to pinpoint the issue where the POST (power on self test) hangs up
