Ok, so im new to this message board...but i need help figuring something out. I will try to explain things best i can.
Last year i built my own computer with the following specs
Asus K8V SE Deluxe
AMD 64 3000+
Ultra 512MB RAM
nVidia 5700 LE
Maxtor 40 gig 7200 rpm
Early this year i purchase another 512 mb ram stick..THATS when the problems began. Right away the computer locked up in the middle of one of my games. I restarted it, thinking it was a fluke, but then it did it again. Finally i removed it thinking it was bad, and let it sit for 3 months until i was reading on the internet and i found out about memtest86. So i download that, created a bootable disk, ran it...finds no errors in just my 512 setup... so then i took my newest 512, stuck it in, then ran it again... no errors. Following that i was able to run Prime95 for 8 hours with no errors. Yet today while i was playing BF1942 it locked up on me. I restarted the computer, tried again, and it did the same thing. Something that might also be worth mention is the fact that right before it locks up, something inside my computer chirps.
So yeah...there ya have it. Can someone PLEASE give me some idea of what the crap is wrong with my computer?
Does anyone have
