Title: memory problem!
Post by: exceed01 on November 26, 2008, 08:55:48 PM
hello guys.. i want to ask something which really bothered me so much.. i have a pc that was running ok before..

 but then one time, it has this memory problem.. so what i did is that turn off my computer then pull-out the memory then put in on again. and when a turn on my computer it back into a normal state..

but later on, the problem arise again.. and now it gotten worse because every time i turn on my computer it show its bios setup and when i press f10 to exit the setup. it will restart then it will not boot.. it will just have a long beep no display..

what is the real cause of this problem? should i need to change its memory? please help... tnx..

That gives a 404; I believe you were going for this one.

If you can get into BIOS without problems then it is probably a probem with your operating system or your hard drive. Do you have your O.S. disk?

HI,
i agree that this is probably a hard drive or an OS problem.
i assume that the hard drive is being detected in the BIOS without any problem.
try reinstalling the OS, if that dosen't solve the problem, then it's the hard drive thats to be checked.

personaly, i suspect the hard drive.

If the memory was faulty, or unseated, the computer wouldn't even boot.  You said that you can get into BIOS without any problems.

Can you boot to the UBUNTU live disk?

unfortunately i can't also boot to the ubuntu live disk.. since when i tried to boot up my computer it will direct me to it cmos settings and after i will exit to the cmos settings my computer will not boot up again it will just give me a beep.. like somewhat a beep of a memory problem.

Flat CMOS battery perhaps?

On your motherboard there will be a small cell battery about .25-.35 of an inch in radius, you should remove this battery and take it into your local electronics store and get an exact model number replacement, otherwise different voltages/amps going into your board isn't always a good thing.

best thing is, this is basically the cheapest thing to replace :)
