I just installed an athlon 64 system. I kept getting 8 beeps right after I turned the power on and once in a while. According to by motherboard manual it means "Display memory read/write failure" I never had this problem before with my old athlon xp system. What's wrong here? Gigabyte Ga k8ns ultra-939 Athlon 64 3200+ 512 MB ram(had to take out 2 slices because the mb doesn't support 3 slices of ram) Evga Geforce 6800 GT I really need to know this. Thanks.
Sounds like youve got a dicy Graphics Card that doesnt like you. Try testing your board with a different card that is known to work! And then we'll troubleshoot more.
There's also these very long beeps that's coming out. I now found out that when every this beep happens the cpu fan stops spinning. REally scared me. According to the manual the long beeps means "DRAM error". Is it because of my small 350W powersupply can't supply the power?
Thats really wierd about the CPU Fan, yeah try some different RAM in it if possible and see what happens! And if differeny RAM doesnt work there might be something wrong with your mobo or CPU!
