451577 2006-05-03 04:45:00 Hi, I get 2 short beeps prior to posting, I have been to the BIOS website and 2 beeps could mean - " parity error in base memory [first 64kb block]
also they sayit could be [ reseat the memory or replace with known good modules.
I have tried other good memory sticks but it doesn't fix the problem, could someone explain what the " parity error " is please.
Thanks

So the machine does actually POST and you can load an operating system?

Thanks for the reply,
I should have explained it better, it posts sometimes otherwise it just goes for a minute with nothing happening and then turns itself off.
