Computer Wont Boot Up

[Demonkiller]

Well I didnt use my comp for 2 weeks and now when I try to turn it on it beeps 3 times and nothing happens. I tried removing and inserting the memory and bios battery. No give. Any help?

I think this is a RAM Problem

RAM faults give a single long beep. The 3 beeps sounds like a display problem. Try removing your AGP/VGA card and re-inserting it.

Well in the motherboard instruction booklet it says that 3 beeps is a no memory error.

thts a perfect symptom of faulty ram wich happens commonly these days due to moisture as a reult of monsoon.....try cleaning the ram modules...also, if u hav 2, it s quite possible dat 1 of them must have bcum dead...so remove 1 at a time and test...all d best

I removed my 7300gs and a 1gb module and it booted up fine. Tried using the faulty ram on single channel and same error. Even graphics card. I guess both have gone kaput.

Turns out my ram is at fault. Graphic card works fine. Rushes off to change the memory.
