Hi all,
I'm resurrecting an older computer of mine and trying to make a gaming machine (I have a couple of cards which I can SLI together).
It used to run on an ASUS-P5N-E-SLI board but now an abit fatality 9 board.
I was getting PSU beep codes so I changed the PSU to a new one (corsair CX 750 from coolermaster 600 silent series)
Changing the PSU stopped that code but then I was getting the video card error post beeps on boot (1 long and 2 short).
I tried multiple video cards, different monitor cables etc but to no avail
So I tried a different mobo, the abit fatality board mentioned above (was known to be working).
But still it was not giving me any luck.
So I tried changing the CPU from a q6600 to an e8500 but again to no luck, still getting the same 1 long and 2 short beeps.
Is there a possibility that it's the RAM causing the video card errors?
The ram sticks are just DDR2, but the ones I had to hand (I pinched the original sticks for building a pfsense firewall box) were just some standard dell ones (a pair of 512MB 1Rx8 PC2-4200).
I tried swapping the ram and using just one stick but to no avail.
I'd really appreciate some advice!
