my sons computer suddenly started acting up... the screen would just suddenly get a little hazy and then freeze... did that several times and then finally died altogether... everything seemed dead other than the long beeps at startup... couldn't remember what they were suppose to mean at first... but finally dawned on me... that's the error signal for no memory... since his is an older computer i just happened to have an extra stick that would work in his machine...
anyhow... just thought perhaps this info might prove helpful to someone that might find themselves in a similar crisis...
anyhow... can't see how it could hurt anyone to know...
hmmmmm... come to think of it...
i've been hearing those long beeps even when the computers weren't on...
lol...
