Hi guys.
Last week my system wouldnt post - 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps - which I think is a parity problem and was confirmed by the little LCD on the mobo showing DET DRAM.
I tested the ram in another system and it wouldnt post - 1 continuous beep.
Anyway, i bought some new ram to get me through until corsair replace mine with their lifetime warranty. However, today my system locked up so I reset it and rebooted at which point within a minute or two it locked up again.
I reset and awaited reboot at which point I got a HIGH PITCH continuous tone - I entered the bios and watched the ram voltage continue to climb - at 2.7v I switched off at the wall in an attempt to save my PC from the innevitable puff of smoke!!!!
Can anyone tell me what they think - Its working OK now at the moment.
Many thanks for any input.
