    Parity Circuit Failure
    « on: May 05, 2008, 04:25:11 PM »
    I just put together a new computer; however, when I boot, I get two beeps and approximately 10 seconds later the computer shuts down.  I looked up "two beeps" and it gave me parity circuit failire.

    Does anyone know if it's my memory, motherboard, or other device causing the problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

      beep codes are unique to BIOS manufacturers, did you make sure the beep code that you looked up was indeed for your BIOS?

        I replaced the memory and now I do not have beeps; but the computer still shuts down after about 10 seconds or so.

        could be overheating or bad PSU. Although I'm sure If I didn't post somebody else would have said that...
        I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

        Did you remember to use Thermal Paste between the CPU and heatsink ? ?
