    MY COMPUTER STATS

    MOTHERBOARD : GIGABYTE EP45 EXTREME
    RAM: (2x) 2GB Ballistix (part number:BL25664AA80A )
    VIDEO CARD : GIGABYTE 9800GTX+ 1GB GDDR3
    CPU: INTEL Q8200 2.33GHZ CORE 2 QUAD

    PROBLEM:

    When i boot up my comp, it proceeds to POST and does a failed memory test.
    instead of Memory test: ST********** ), it becomes : (Mem or Memory te) and then the computer restarts. You can not access bios page,safe mode or access anything. If im lucky and i am able to get the computer running it will work for like 10-20 minutes and restart, even if im youtubing or just surfing the net.

    NOTE: i am using an Award bios

    It fails POST? Are there any beeps when you turn your PC on?

    Try removing one stick of RAM and run the PC. See if the problem persists. If you're getting a memory error then run memtest86+ on each module separately.

    However, first I'd recommend that you clean the inside of the PC and reset every component on your motherboard after cleaning.
