Eek! PC refuses to boot.
Thinking there might be a RAM problem (kid's games freeze, blue screen, & spontaneous shutdowns) I ran Simmtester.com's ram diagnostic prog. Several attempts all ended with a freeze.
Decided to switch the 2 ram modules in their sockets but still a freeze. Then tried to test modules individually. Now, no matter which module goes in which socket or even putting both in results in 2 beeps, a pause followed by one beep, and nothing at all on screen. HDD is spinning OK, edge connectors on ram clean, all connections checked fully.
Have I fried the ram modules (can't specifically remember if I earthed my hands on the chassis before removal). Kids dont yet know the true extent of the 'minor glitch'!
Spec: Gateway G6-350 desktop about 5 yrs.old
Win 98SE
Two 128 Meg. ram modules (one original, the second bought from Crucial 2 years ago.
Thanks.
