I got a popup and an attempt to install an exe file when i browsed a site with my virus software on. It then went to priviledge escalation mode, and at that point I hard powered down the computer. WHen I attempted to restart, i got the post 7 beep. Removed the cmos backup battery, replaced, tried again, same beep. I have the hard drive on an USB harness on my lab server and the partitions show up fine. Haven't run a virus scan yet. All of the answers I see for the same problem indicate a failed processor, but would this happen concurrently with an attempt to install a trojan? Windows 7 btw. no new hardware installed prior to the error.
