Johnkam Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 I thought my new ram would solve this problem but it didnt, every morning the i turn my comp on i get a long beep and 2 short beeps. To fix this i have to unplug the power cord and re connect it to the psu, Then it turns on and boots fine, maby i should try running ram in yellow slots??? please give me some tips/ suggestions guys. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cull Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 DFI Boards are of high quality so no name brands probably wont cut it. Get some ram from this list http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cull Posted May 3, 2006 Posted May 3, 2006 i can, what I do is because floppys are unsightly, is connect it and stick it in the case, and then just open up the side when I need to do things like bios updates. but here http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=41704 use the Diamond Flash Image version Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
