Hi,
Just built a new PC.
I got an MSI P31 Neo2 board that has AMI Bios.
I have finished building the PC now and the system powers up ok and into windows (did a new install of Win XP onto new hard drive).
I can be working away fine but I have been experiencing random crashes every half hour or so e.g.:
- blue screen
- windows has recovered from serious error
- windows explorer crashing
etc.
When I boot up I notice I get a short beep then a pause followed by 2 slightly higher pitched short beeps close together.
Any idea what might be wrong?
I have 2 1GB sticks of PC2-6400C5 800MHz DDR2 (OcUK). I have tried with only one stick in and swapping and just putting the other stick in. Makes no difference.
Oh - and in case it's relevant, my ps2 keyboard has suddenly stopped working as I've been working through things and rebooting etc. The keyboard doesn't work at POST to get into BIOS.
HELP!
Thanks,
Paul.
