hi all,
as i had long weekend decided to "upgrade : my pc.
bought extra 512mg of ddr and that is probably the easiest task in pc building.
to put it in.
(both old and new stick are same brand kingston 3200 400.
mafter doing that pc doesnt wont to boot any more and i could smell something burning.
pull the power cable off.removed the new stick as with old one pc was running perfect.but no booting any more.
on the boothin i get one beep witch last 3-4 seconds and then after few seconds same repeats all the time.
one beep repeating.
As i was changing ram modules i am certain that my problem has a lot to do with it.
i changed the slots of ram stick when started.
my motherboard is 1 year old asus a7n8x-x .
have xp athlon 2600 kingston 512 3200 ddr 400
bios is 2Mb Flash ROM, Award BIOS, TCAV, PnP, DMI2.0, DMI, Green.
so question is is the motherboard dead???
RIP
tried 2100 ddr kingston another sticks but same result- no boot same sound.
as i know little bit about the hardware9 i built few of them when on the boot it doens pass scan memory that indicate memory problem???what do you think to try first??
(hate going to pull everything apart but it look like that will be the case))
thnks
