So I have been trying to crawl through putting an old computer back together (I prefer working on cars, but it's too cold outside.). I have been getting some help from the great folks here, but I'm not articulating very good. So here is the rub:
I put in a new MB that was as close to the original that I could find. The CPU and DDR sticks were the same and it is from the same Manufacturer (MSI). I put it all together and followed the instructions on this site for installing the MB. I used the manual from MSI for the parts that I could. When I turn it on it just beeps about every three seconds for ever (ie it never stops). I was told to use the BIOS beep chart for my MB. I think that it is an Award BIOS (whatever that is). It only says for *repeated beeps - DRAM error. So does that mean to replace the DDR? I have an AMD X2 processor. I tried removing one of the sticks, and nothing. Switched, and nothing. Will it post if I only use one stick? I bought a new one, but I don't want to open it if I'll need both.
Any suggestions would be great. I mean ANY suggestions. Thanks guys and gals.
