[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1404670, member: 56379"] Well there could be two possible issues. 1. The ram actually may be bad. 2. There could be a problem with the slot on the logic board where the ram inserts. You never mentioned if you had one or two sticks of ram in this computer (I mentioned this earlier). If you have two sticks of ram...then you have to test using the process of elimination. You have ram slot A & ram slot B. And (if you have two sticks of ram)...ram stick A & ram stick B. You may have to test all combinations of ram & ram slots to determine if you have bad ram or bad slot(s). Combinations: 1. Ram A, slot A 2. Ram A, Slot B 3. Ram B, Slot A 4. Ram B, Slot B You have to do this 1 stick of ram at a time & one slot at a time to narrow things down. You need to do this each time by booting the computer...and then seeing if you have stability. If you get the beeping on any of these combinations...then something is bad (either ram or the slot...hopefully not both). - Nick [/QUOTE]
