Name: A. Arsenault

Rank: 1st Sgt.

Type of issue: Hardware

Brief Description of Issue:

Everything was fine earlier today before I put my computer in sleep mode. Then I came back from work, launched it, entered my password, it showed me my desktop for a second then got the blue screen of death. I didn't have the time to read much before the PC turned off and started emitting streaks of 4 short beeps while refusing to boot. I looked it up (It's an AMD) and it seems like it is my motheboard that is done. Or it is lacking memory. I assume they mean RAM which I tried to organize differently to see if that was the problem but my computer still won't boot and is only emitting those 4 consecutive beeps. To add to this, there is now a yellow light constantly lit on my motherboard but it might have been like that before and I just never really noticed it. I wanted a second opinion on this before ordering a new one on Newegg tonight.

Thanks in advance for your advices guys.

1stLt. McDowell is right, a reset is the first thing to do and we could use the specs on the MoBo and bios. I would also suggest a few pictures: one of what the monitor says and one of the motherboard. You can post them here through Photobucket or other sharing site. This will give us a better idea of what we are dealing with and be able to help more.

Issue fixed.

I went to see my local tech and he permuted the RAM kits and it worked out fine. He said it was probably just some dust lol. but he still advised me to work a memtest to see if there is any issue with my memory kits.

Thanks for your help guys but it seems that I won't have to spend some money I don't have on a new motherboard (yet) :P.

I hope this encourages you to maintain low dust levels! :P

Dust is a fire hazard and suffocates components!

Even though this looks to be resolved, I just wanted to stop in and see if I could get the minidump file that it created when it blue screened. I'm curious to see what the OS thought was wrong. :D
