neil10900 · 06-13-2008, 06:30 PM

hi this is my 1st post,just joined,can anyone help??
i just purchased a ms-6541 v 1.0 motherboard with 1.7 ghz intel pentium processor,i fit this all into the case and wired it all up(got help from web to find where wires go)when i turn the pc on it beeps once then two longer bleeps and wont even open the bios page or even switch the moniter on i tried alsorts but think it could be a ram problem,the ram i used is out of the pc im using now which has pc 2700 and i think the ms-6541 uses another number pc 2100 i think can any one confirm this is the problem

PC2100 = DDR266
PC2700 = DDR333
PC3200 = DDR400

Either the RAM is bad, or it's very picky and supports only a specific brand, or it doesn't support the speed.

the ram is ok cause it works in the pc im on now so its more than likely the mobo wont support it,a test i just done was taking the ram out of this one im on now and it did the same appart from beep,ok so i need ram then so which one i see you put some figures up,the one im using in this pc is the 2700/333 how do i establish what the other one needs

If the Memory worked in another computer or not the 1 short and 2 long beeps on that board is a memory problem.

Research your CMOS's beep code and look it up.
