As the title suggests I have a system that no longer posts.
I tried swapping memory around doing the one stick thing... etc. got into bios once and then bang. No longer posts. (Memory was not damaged it went back into another PC just fine)
The problem.
When I got the unit (because of this issue) the heat sink was hanging on by two pins.
Now.. I am thinking the CPU cache could be damaged.
Would this cause the same beep code as faulty ram?
(I forget the exact beep code I haven't looked at the system in over a month. Something like 3 beeps repeated)
If this is not the case what else should I look for ?
TIA
