| 267882 | 2004-09-01 12:30:00 | The testing time will depend on the amount of RAM - MemTest cycles through 13 tests (0-12) and starts with pass number 0 (or is it 1? can't remember...), once you have gone through a complete cycle of tests, it will start from test 0 again but this time on pass number 1 (or is it 2? anyway, it's the 2nd pass), and this will continue ad nauseum until you switch off the PC. Some people say to leave it testing all night, others say 1 pass is fine (I usually do 1 pass). If you get the normal screen where you can see the test status, all is ok but you must do at least 1 complete pass. If however the errors drop off the bottom of the screen faster than you can read them - then say no more but the RAM is destined for the bin. | andrew93 (249) | ||

| 267884 | 2004-09-01 12:38:00 | Latest development: After removing the RAM stick and put it back again (make sure that it is seated properly), turned on the switch, the PSU fan, CPU fan all spin but no POST (no beep at all) and no signal sent to the Monitor! Could it be the motherboard problem?? It is unlikely that the PSU is causing this? |

| 267885 | 2004-09-01 12:54:00 | see here (www.computerhope.com) for the lack of beep | andrew93 (249) | ||
| 267886 | 2004-09-01 13:12:00 | Sounds to me like one of the following : ~ PSU is possibly dying ~ Motherboard is possibly dying (unless it is the quiet type) ~ Power connector not hooked up to the mobo correctly, or ~ possibly the processor is not seated correctly (can't remember the standard beep reponse for this) If you remove the RAM and start er up do you get any beeps? What's the mobo? Is the CPU correctly seated? Have you reconnected all of the power cables you possibly disconnected to access the RAM? |

| 267887 | 2004-09-01 13:18:00 | >> (no beep at all) I had this happen once - turned it on and no beep, nothing on screen etc. Turned out to be a fried video card. Mike. |

| 267888 | 2004-09-01 13:20:00 | Could be: CD Rom failure causing the install to fail Hard drive corruption from something unknown Try deleting the partition completely and a fresh install of Windows with a different CD drive if Memtest fails. |

Have you reconnected all of the power cables > you possibly disconnected to access the RAM? With RAM removed, also no beep when starting up. Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-8S648FX CPU: Intel 2.4 GB Checked and re-checked all cables connections. OK It happened once earlier on with no beep (didn't boot up), after some pressing all cable connetors and PCI cards (make sure that they are seated properly.) , it boots OK but after starting Windows the BSOB came. Probably it's time to take a break. |

| 267891 | 2004-09-01 23:08:00 | When I tried reinstalling XP a few months ago, I had a BSOD (cant remember what) since I've reformatted, with it rebooting coz of a kaputt CPU. I found this out by replacing everything and the only thing left that had to be faulty was the CPU. Your case isnt active with power is it? like mine was with the leaking power point? |
