Hey guys i am running in to a problem, My computer keeps restarting, usually when i am running a video game or something of that nature, every so once in a while it will restart and give me 1 long beep and 3 short beeps which i assumed would be a memory problem so, i then changed the memory and im still getting the same problem. I know my cpu isn't overheating because it sits about 40c even under the heaviest loads. So with that said i am kinda stumped on what i should check next .


ASUS M2 Crosshair nforce 590 sli motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
4Gb corsair XMS2 ddr2 800mhz
radeon 6870 HD
Windows 7
 
the beep for Asus i found on there forums is
1long beep and 3 short beeps

does this mean my ram is bad? or is there possibly something else i can do to fix this, i just bought new ram today and it was doing this with the ram i had in there before
