    Hello all,
    I currently have a custom built comp, and recently I've moved it around for traveling purposes. And when I set everything up, and turned it on.
    I would hear 1 long beeps and 3 short beeps. Now i understand the error codes which it implies exteral/conventional memory error. And the result should be reinserting the RAM into it's slot, but when i did so my comp. still beeps the same.

    Also to override the black screen with 1 long and 3 short beeps. I realized if I press the RESTART button(different from the power button) it would restart and continue into the BIOS screen as normal, and would even boot my Windows XP, and I would be able to use my comp. as normal.

    Please help, thank you.
