    I'm having minor computer problems help
    « on: February 22, 2014, 08:27:05 AM »
    Alright so here are the problems . One problem is that every time I boot up my computer it boots up in the bios screen. And when it boots up it beeps one long and four short beeps and according to my motherboards manual this means there's a hardware component failure. Then I get it in the windows 7 sign in screen and everything is fine. Then I'll be playing a game at full graphical settings and it will be minority Skippy on the game and the audio. I thought maybe it's too much for the computer so I put it on the lowest settings same problem. Here's a list of all the hardware put into the computer
    -Asus M5a97 r2.0 motherboard
    -Corsair Vengeance 16gb(2x8)DDR3 1600mh Desktop Memory
    -Western Digital Caviar Blue Sata 3 Desktop Hard Drive
    -Kingston Digital 240gb ssd
    -Asus HD 7750 AMD Radeon graphics card
    -Evga 500b 500w 80  plus bronze certified
    -Amd fx 4130 quad core desktop processor

    1 long 3 short = RAM issues...
    DLoad and run Memtest on the RAM....let it run at least 1 hour.

    Any errors at all and you have a bad stik of RAM.
