Hello all.

When I switched my computer on for the first time this morning after having used it all night for a good solid 13 hours, my computer was giving me 2 long continious bios beeps. The first beep sounds even before my monitor is displaying any bios information, then during POST the second beep sounds and stays continious up until I'm at the login screen for Windows XP Pro (Computer specification located within my signature).

I referred to my manual to see what the 2 continious beeps meant and according to that its a 'Continious Long Beeps: DRAM Error'. However I searched online a moment a go and when searching google I came across a website that said continious long beeps can mean either memory or video issues. When I first installed the graphics drivers yesterday along with the .net framework version 3.0, upon restarting after the install the ATi support folder popped up as it does sometimes when you install new software and restart. I restarted a few times since then and it constantly keeps popping up. If there was a problem with the graphics drivers it wouldn't beep so soon even before post would it?

When going through POST and seeing all of the hardware being detected I'm being given no warning or reading of the fault during this stage or at all during boot.

Any suggestions / comments would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Breaks.
