Edit: Well, always the last thing I test turns out to be the problem. It appears I have two dead sticks of corsair ram. Off to memtest the gskill and buy more ram.
Tech problem here.
Basic stats:
q8400 chip
4gb ram (2g corsair, 2gb gskill setup as 4x1gb sticks)
3 month old Gigabyte ga-ep45-udp3 mobo
1tb WD caviar black HD
some older liteon 16x dvdrw
Anyone know what the error code is for a continuous set of beeps on boot up is? Im getting no video signal, it looks like the fans all spin up but I just get a series of beeps (seem to be short but continuous) and after about 10-15 seconds the system tries to reboot and whole thing starts over again. All the leds light up, 2 green/2amber/2 red.
System was running fine last night, it just started this on a cold boot up this morning. I tested the PSU (corsair hx520w modular) and it seems to be powering all rails fine. Swapped in a different video card, same deal. Main vid card is an old GF7950gt, backup one was an ati hd4350.
Up next is ram and then monitor/monitor cable. Then I guess I'll swap PSUs to a corsair hx750 I have for an aborted new build. After that, I guess its the cpu/mobo.. Any help would be appreciated... bummed I can't spend the afternoon gaming. 🙂
TIA
