[QUOTE="6string, post: 1221780, member: 120039"] What happened when the black box saying restart is known as a kernal Panic. Usually this is RAM related. What I would do is turn it off, take out one of the RAM modules, restart it and see how it goes, and if it happens again, I would put the RAM module in and try with the next RAM out. Also, the 3 beeps is saying that it is RAM related. More than likely one or both RAM modules have bit the dust. Now that I hear that you dropped it, it could be that the RAM was slightly dislodged, so I would check that as well before pulling the sticks out. Here's a guide :) [url]http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/Installing-MacBook-Pro-13-Inch-Unibody-Mid-2009-RAM/1334/1[/url] [/QUOTE]
