Hi there,
I have a custom build PC, which has been running smooth for the past 1.5 years.
All of the sudden, today, it stopped working, I can no longer start my PC and I get three long beeps when I try to start it.
According to my motherboard manual, these 3 beeps, and the error code "D3" stand for:
" If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do
memory sizing in Bootblock code. Do additional chipset initialization.
Re-enable CACHE. Verify that flat mode is enabled."
Could somebody tell me what I could try to fix this problem? I have a hard time finding a possible solution in the description of the error.
My setup is as follows:
HD: Samsung SpinPoint F3
RAM: OCZ Obsidian Series Dual Channel Kit - 4 GB: 2 x 2 GB - DIMM 240-pins - DDR3 - 1600 MHz / PC3-12800 - CL9 - 1.65 V
Motherboard: Asrock Extreme3 870
CPU: AMD Black Edition - 1 x AMD Phenom II X4 955 / 3.2 GHz - Socket AM3 - L3 6 MB
GPU: MSI R5770 Hawk
In my search online, I found several other cases like this, with the same motherboard, but no answers unfortunately. I have read suggestions like reset bios by removing the battery for a few minutes, but I don't know how to do this, and I would rather keep this as a last resort. My apologies if I should have posted this in a different section of the forum, but this section seemed right.
Any help, tips or advise are very welcome!
