Hi,
A while back - ( a few months) - a friend helped me build my own computer - it had a 8800gts 320, AMD X2 6000, hard drive, disk drive, and 2 gig of crucial ram (with this motherboard: http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/uk/mot...&pPRODINFO=Specifications&fSEARCHTEXT=NF-M2SV)
Anyway when it tried to boot it wouldn't with the two sticks in. Took one out and it worked. A while later the computer shorted out and i went to a independent pc shop and said the power supply i was sent was faulty, they then tested out the ram for me and said one stick was faulty. At the same time they changed the psu for me, i took the computer home - it worked on the one gig. Anyway i contacted ebuyer (which was were i bought the ram from) and i sent both sticks back and they agreed it was faulty. They quickly sent me a replacement that i got about 4 days ago. I put the ram in and all i got was the constant series of beeps. I checked beep codes and couldn't find anything so i presumed the ram was faulty again. I let the friend from earlier try the ram on his computer and it worked fine. In the meantime i decided to order a higher quality of ram because i believed the other ram was faulty for a 2nd time. It was this ram here: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...25z&product_uid=116755&spec_type=ZXh0ZW5kZWQ=
It arrived today and i put it in and again i got this repetitious beep when i try to power it up. The screen is black, the power button is on, all the fans inside the comp are spinning but i have this beeping. I went through the POST thing from the guide on this site with no luck (i haven't had the opportunity to test out the stuff on another motherboard etc). I am complelty stuck - at the moment the only things connected up to my comp is the ram, gfx card, psu, and processor. Yet i still get the beeping. Any help would be much appreciated, thxs.
I should mention that i haven't taken the processor out and tried it again, but i'm not sure if that the processor would be the problem but shall try this very soon, the ram i have tried with one stick, as well as made sure are in securely and the gfx card has been replugged in as well.
