White Screen of Death?

My 2012 MacBook Pro chimes when I turn it on then the screen turns white never to change again. I have tried booting in Safe mode, resetting all kinds of things to no avail. Anyone have any clues?

2012 Mac Pro whitescreen when turned on I recent received a 2012 Mac Pro system. It was filthy, but working. Last night I disassembled the system and used canned compressed air to blow out the crud from inside the system. I reassembled the system and it was working fine. This morning I powered up the system and I just get a white screen and a chime. Sometimes the tail end of the chime will repeat at about one second intervals. I've tried holding SHIFT to get to safe mode, holding the power button for 10+ seconds, pressing the PRAM reset button on the mainboard, replacing the PRAM battery, reseating the video card and reseating the CPU card, but no change. I notice that there is a DIAG LED button, but not sure what to expect when pressed. Specs are dual Xeon 6 core processors, 48 GB of memory, 512 GB SSD drive, nVidia GTX 680 video card. Any idea what I can do from here?

Start-up Chime My Macbook Pro won't start up properly. It used to start up just fine but now the screen won't even turn on. When I connect it to power, or press the on button, it will try to start up and make these three alarming sounds in a row. It will then take a break for a few seconds and the three alarming chimes will begin again, take a break, begin again and so on. I brought it to the genius bar but they didn't seem to know what to do about it. Can anyone help me?
