Hey guys... I've got a strange problem. I have a MSI 845-ARU Motherboard with a 1.80A Intel Pentium 4 Processor on it, 512mb PC3000 DDR 366mhz RAM.. Here's the deal..
About 1 time in 10 the system will start properly, the other times, as soon as the power on, I get 2 long bios beeps, followed by 8 short.. and I'm not sure whats causing this.. I've already checked the seating of the items, and the only things I've come down to after removing and disconnecting everything and it still happens is.. 1. A faulty graphics card, 2. faulty RAM, or 3. faulty motherboard. I would greatly appreciate any second opinions other than my own, anything would be helpful. Contact me at mach2@brightok.net...
Thanks,
