uhhhhhhhhhh thats noooooooooooot good. no. see i guess what i have been reffering to as a 'fan' is a heatsink. i took the heatsink off and put it on the video card, and turned the computer off,a nd it auto shut downed on me. anywasy the 3 beeps mean 64k ram failure or sumthin. so when i have no memvcards in i ddont; get that but i don;t get much of anythig nelse either, as in no video. and now my mobo is rejecting its original mem cards so i'm pretty much screwed.
