Pc booting issue.

[DeaconD]

My computers playing silly buggers.

Put simply the other day it just let out three beeps then wouldn't show a display.

I managed to get it to show a display - only one beep now and said the bios didn't load correctly - windows ran some kind of start up repair thing then it booted into windows fine.

Today its slightly different - One beep - displaying the ram but not going any further - no response from the keyboard either so cant check boot order or do anything at all !

So im a bit miffed. - is something loose in the case or is something horribly corrupted ?

The current state of play - warning contains reflection of fatty.



Cheers

Can you get into the BIOS to reset it?

 

[DeaconD]

Nope - wont let me - not responding to the keyboard - in fact it seems no power goes to the keyboard

Is your memory seated correctly? (you havent knocked the machine recently?)

If you have more than one 'stick' of memory...try removing one and testing, then the other...

I would say its almost certainly memory related.

Yeah, a quick google suggests that 3 beeps is a memory failure.

no keyboard, display needed fixing and yous are saying the beeps are RAM Related - everything has come unseated!!
