So last week I got hit with the Blue Death. My girlfriend found it at the time and shut off the PC without writing down the code. When I got home and attempted to boot up I got hit with a continuous beep and no boot up. After lots of research, I re-seated the CPU cooler and graphics card, reset the BIOS battery (forget the name) and played with ram. It seems that 2 of my channels are dead. All the ram sticks work perfectly in the 2 slots farthest from the CPU. I get a full boot up and successful operation for a week now on half the ram, however this stops me from running Photoshop and working my field. I NEED MORE RAM...anyways, I have found no information on dead ram channels and need advice! I was thinking about upgrading my 2 ram channels to 2x 4gig to get back to 8 total, but I would really love to be able to fix the other 2 channels and just run my standard set-up...
My specs are:
CPU - core i7-2600 3.4ghz
mobo - Gateway FX6860 (dual hannel ddr3 1333)
