Hey all,
With ram installed, I get a four beep tone one boot then the laptop restarts.
With ram absent, there are no beeps. Does this by itself mean the ram is bad?

I was trying to solve a problem with the graphics system, which I think is a loose connection. In the process I'm sure I didn't even touch the ram, but on reassembly this occurs.

Any thoughts?

update: found a second stick under the keyboard, which explains why it turns on without any ram present. one stick definitely throwing errors. graphics still down
