[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1810301, member: 396914"] Charlie, I honestly don't know if the firmware is updated or not. The logic board was swapped out by Apple for the GPU fix, so that could be it, but there is no mention of either of those problems when I search for three beeps. Everything returns memory as the issue, but I don't get three beeps booting HS and the AHT passes the memory just fine. And the memory is 2x4, for a total of 8gb, also installed by Apple. Maybe I should remove one and go back to 4? Nick, It won't boot from the disk at all. I haven't tried the c key, but Option at boot shows the disk, and lets me select it to boot from. I can hear the drive working away, but the three beeps comes up pretty quickly. No success at getting to the desktop at all. EDIT: Corrected the memory sizes. Brain failure on the original numbers.
