Hi all,
Sorry to have to join the community on a down note, but I thought I should see if anyone out there has any hints.
Mainboard: H55M-P33
Memory : F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL
CPU : i3 LGA 1156
I was having operating system corruption issues and re-installed my operating system. I upgraded to Windows 8 and was in the process of completing fresh installs of all my games when, during a reboot, windows reported a memory address failure.
On subsequent re-boots, there was no video present and no audible tones. I removed all peripherals and tested operation and there was no change. I removed the video card and there was no change. I then removed the RAM and the system still did not boot but there were three long beeps from the BIOS. I re-installed the RAM and then I got two short beeps. I researched the beep codes and with the AMI BIOS that is on the mainboard this indicates a memory parity error. If I try the RAM in another slot, I get the two beep error. Note that the hard drive does boot the OS if I install it in my OLD P4 system.
My main issue is that I only have the one RAM stick and have no real way to test whether or not there is really an issue with the RAM. I submitted an RMA but thought I should cover all my bases.
Not that the P4 system is worthless, but I would like to play Black Ops II and it doesnt run so well on the P4...
