Hi,
I had a problem with my main pc that turned out to be a bad graphics driver but it would not POST. In the process of testing why, I pulled a working 4GB DDR3 stick out of my son's PC, but this problem was not RAM-related.
When my son re-inserted the RAM -- no POST, fast continuous beep. It's UEFI BIOS and Gigabyte GA-AM1M mobo.
I have tried
*changing slots
*using another known good RAM in there
*reseating PSU connections
* reseating video card
all result in continuous fast beeps.
It is a bit of a mystery as to what the continuous fast beep means on this mobo, but one of the possibilities I have seen is "reseat RAM" which is the most sensible one, because the last thing we did before breaking it was remove, and then reseat the RAM.
If I bent a pin, don't you think the other slot would still work?
I could try to reseat the CPU and all that jazz but it seems like the most likely issue is the RAM not connecting. What woul you do?
Thanks in advance let me know if you want more info.
