Hello, I've been having on and off again problems for years with an older PC that I use for 3d modeling/rendering. Despite its age, it's still a decent machine for what I need, so I wanted to see if there was a fix before I invested in a new computer and had to reinstall all my software.
To give you some background information, it's a gateway dx4300. The problem that's come back yet again is that the monitor loses signal, and the PC must then be restarted. I thought this was a power supply problem, so I swapped out 300w for 400w last spring, but here I am again. And about half the time I do need to restart, the machine wont properly boot, giving me two short beeps, followed by one single beep and no display. (Keyboard and mouse do come on though, and I can ctrl alt del restart via keyboard).
I have reseatted the ram, which had worked in the past. But it is no longer working now and has given me this boot error for days.
What could be giving me this two beep followed by a single beep error message. The manufacturer of the motherboard is AMI.
Thank you very much for any help.
