Ok thanks.
What does it mean when the mother beeps, 1 long beep?
After that he just starts.
Normally anything other than the standard beep codes are usually memory related. It might be worth running Memtest to check the modules. If you want to it does take some time but at least you can be sure of the state of your RAM afterwards. This is how to go about it if you decide to:
Please follow these instructions
exactly.
I would suggest that you download and run the latest version of Memtest86+ to check your RAM first.
Memtest86+

one stick of memory in
slot 1 and run Memtest on it for at least
10 complete loops/cycles and if there are no errors then swap it over with the next one and continue untill you have checked all modules.
If you have any errors the module is faulty.
If you have any faulty modules you will have to return the whole kit as they are matched.
