Hello,
I have built my first computer yesterday
My name is Steven btw
I installed Windows, ran the drivers from the mobo cd, ran the Sapphire driver cd, all was working well
Then this morning Catalyst started giving me issues. The PC would re-boot and present the following messages all at once on startup
"Catalyst Control Center: Host application has stopped working"
"Steam has stopped working"
"Windows Explorer has stopped working"
"kdbsync.exe has stopped working"
So I re-installed Windows from scratch
All was going well, Catalyst no issues, I was installing the fifth of the BIOS updates from the ASRock site and PC gave me the blue screen of death.
It starts, makes two beeps - like the old telephone analogue signals before you dialed, but louder pitch - nothing appears on screen, it just sits there with the fans spinning looking totally awesome.
But does nothing.
Also, the reset button works but not the on/off button
USBs at the front work, and the monitor flashes at the bottom like it's being told something but doesn't display anything.
These are the details of the build, picked up yesterday so just over 24hr old
What could be the problem do you think?

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
