Some new RAM arrived today, and I replaced my old RAM. Only one of the modules seemed to work, but the computer randomly started restarting back. Which was bad enough.

So I put the original AM back in and now it doesn't start at all. The monitor goes into sleep mode 'cause nothing's being sent to it, and the computer makes a weird beeping noise like: "Deh deh deh...dooooo.."

Need...help...

EDIT: without the RAM, it makes a different noise. A long beep, then a pause, then a long beep and so on..

Otherwise, no matter what RAM or much I use, or what slot, I get that 3 beeps a pause, then a long beep.

EDIT2: Well, motherboard and RAM all dead apparently. Professionally fixed.

It sounds like the ram isn't inserted properly and making connection. A continual beep using means there is no ram present, or at least recognized.

I've tried with the original RAM, new RAM and no RAM. it makes no difference anymore, it just won't start. Just the weird noises.
