Hey Forum,
I finally need help. My computer was starting to act slow so I started to use it less and less. Then one day, I just stopped using it for a while. But when I returned to using it, it stopped working and it had a code of 3 beeps which I believe to be something wrong with the memory ram sticks. So, I opened my case and pulled everything out because they all needed to be dusted, changed the thermal paste, and rewired the whole thing. After that, I tried to turn it on again so it still didn't work. So I got a new set of RAM sticks (same one, the ripjaws) and placed them in and pushed it in as far as it would go. But now, my computer acts funny.
Whenever I turn it on, it wouldn't display anything on the screen. After a few seconds of being on (as in the lights all came on and so did the fans and hard drives) it would shut off by itself. Then after a few more seconds, it would just turn back on by itself and boot up normally.
This really bothers me as I don't know what the problem is. When the computer boots up normally, it has one quick beep, which I thought was to be normal because it was like that before. But after reading some of the beep codes, it seemed that it is a refreshing error? I ran a memory diagnostic test and it turned up that it didn't have any problems. I also checked the bios to make sure that all the memory was detected and it was. I also check one of my last stick of memory and it turned out to be bad because it wouldn't start with it.
So, what seems to be the problem? I feel like the heatsink on the cpu was pushing my last RAM stick to the right because of the fan. Would it have bent the connectors on the motherboard? The heatsink I'm using is the hypermaster 212 with dual fans. I think one of the fans was pushing the last ram stick.
Thanks for all your help. If this is in the wrong forum area, it would be great for a mod to move it.
Thanks again!
:D
