Ok so I already know that the 3 beeps on boot is a RAM integrity error. But here's where things get interesting. I get the 3 beeps on boot at random times.
This all started after I upgraded the RAM in my Macbook Pro from the two 2GB sticks to 8GB total with 2 4GB Crucial sticks.
I verified that both crucial RAM sticks were fine by using them in a windows PC and running a diagnostic software targeted at the RAM. I verified that it's not just the new sticks by putting the old RAM back in and running the machine for a while like that. I have checked the RAM slots as best I can it seems to work fine.
Anyone have any clue as to what might be causing this intermittent problem? I'm in school and need my Macbook for school. The machine is covered under a BestBuy warranty but I work in the GeekSquad there and know that this is a problem that would be shipped out to their depot and I can't really afford to be without a computer for 2-3 weeks. GeekSquad doesn't deal with problems like this at all in store so I'm hoping theres someone who knows a fix that doesn't involve me popping my RAM out and putting it back in 1-2 times a week till schools out and I can ship it.
Cheers
