    Ok so 2 days ago I turn on my PC as usual and instead of booting it just makes a series of 2 beeps. I look it up online and all the info points to a ram issue and the advice is the take out the ram and reseat it. So I did that. Didn't work, still 2 beeps. Did it again but this time just with one stick of ram. Now it made a series of 4 beeps. I swapped that stick of 2GB ram with a 4Gb one, boot the PC and it works! So then I add each other stick and boot it and it works each time, eventually I have the 4 sticks of ram back in there and all is well. PC works fine for the past 2 days, no changes, and now all of a sudden when I go to turn it on again - 2 beeps.

    Seriously lads...what the :confused:
