Memory compatability problem
Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2006 1:17 pm
I hope there are some wizzkids here that know wtf the problem is.
When I start my computer it gives a long beep a pause and then a long beep continued by every beep/bell you can image.
I have some sort of thing that shows a code, it says C3 which means there is a memory compatability problem, of which the solution is supposed to be:
1.) Swap memory
2.) Memory not instered correctly
I've checked both, but it's all good. I've instered every memory stick I could find, but I get the same error every time.
I've always had this beep, but then I just had to restart and it would be all good.
Also, yesterday, after I didn't touch it for like 16 hrs it suddenly just started again ! But since I can't sleep with that noise I had to turn it off, leaving me with the same situation again. ( There was no solution for the first time, I just left it alone and it suddenly worked again )
My computer is extremely bad, I once had a good one but my brother has it.
Specs: * sigh *
2.4 ghz
512mb ram ( can steal 1 gig anytime, sis wont notice, but I don't need )
XFX 5900XT
Epox 4bear mobo ( Don't laugh
)
So if you know what to, please respond, I really appreciate it.
