Gigabyte 1 short beep 1 constant beep.

Hi,

Spec is in signature - I was playing the new dragon age and i got the odd short beep about every 3 seconds. After about 2 mins it turned constant.

I quit game and checked temps - all fine.

Tried to goggle it and seen it might be ram or gfx. So I gave the machine a good clean out and reseated both the gfx and both 4gb sticks of RAM.

Upon connecting back up I now get one short beep followed by a constant beep.

I removed one stick of RAM and tried again - same
Other stick removed - same.

Game was running fine when the beeps occurred no stuttering or anything to indicate a problem.

Any ideas? Gfx ive only had since august (from here)

Thanks
Sean

Ahh thanks. I did find some codes somewhere but they was a total mess and didn't make sense.

So I put both sticks back in again, all good now played 2iah hours with no problem. Strange how it happened in the first place though, machine was not disturbed.

All good now though.

Thanks again
