Well, I was sitting on my PC maybe half an hour ago when suddenly my computer rebooted out of the blue. I thought it was a little weird, but I let it get to the windows login, and I typed in my login info and it booted up in windows for maybe half a second, then froze. This not having been the first time windows has frozen on me, I rebooted to have the same thing happen. However, the third time I hit the reboot button, I realized that all of a sudden my I wan't getting any video, and the motherboard didn't respond to a single press of the shutdown button (leading me to suspect that the system was locked up).
I just opened up my case, checked all connections and dusted it out, with no success. I just now put in my motherboard speaker to see if it gives post beeps, and it didn't, but I suspect I may have installed it on the wrong pins (facepalm). I'll be consulting my motherboard manual to make sure that it's installed correctly and try again. My system specs are as follows:
Gigabyte GA-M61P-S3
AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+
Seagate 250gb HD
2x1gb Crucial Ballistix RAM
Arctic Cooling 64 CPU heatsink/fan
Visiontek HD4850 512mb GPU
Windows XP Pro SP2
Thanks,
Marshillboy
EDIT: Acutally, I swapped my motherboard speaker to the CORRECT spot, and it was giving me continuous long beeps. Reading in my manual, I found that this indicates a "DRAM error". What does this mean?
