Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence,Long beep, long silence, no POST...

My memory is not what it once was, do long beeps mean bad RAM?

Depends on bios manufacturer.

I've had ill fitted graphics cards do this as well as faulty ram. Try reseating all components and reseting the bios. If no joy, try individual memory sticks.

if unsure try and look upo the beep sequence on the board manufactuers website

The motherboard is made by Winfast...

I've re-seated the GFX card and RAM, and it's still doing the same thing...

I'll search for thier beep codes...

Hmm, switched out the 7300LE for an x800 and it's now booting...

Anyone else had a Nvidia 7300 die for no reason? :/
