Recently I've had a problem with over heating but It seems like I fixed that, the computer has been running smoothly until last night when my computer randomly blue screened. I didn't think much of it so I just restarted the computer and it worked fine. the day after I go back to the computer, power it on and it starts then stops, starts again, stops then starts again and makes 3 beeps. I have looked on all the beep code websites and can't seem to figure out my problem, the beeps go, BEEP BEEP BEEP (pause) BEEP BEEP BEEP and just continue like that until I turn the computer off I don't know what I did exactly but I would like to know what you guys think.

3 beeps is usually ram problems.Here are some things you can do-


1.If your computer has 2 sticks of ram,try removing one stick and only run with one stick at a time.Repeat with the other.
2.If you only have one stick of ram then try using a spare ram module or borrow one from a friend and use it instead of the ram to diagnose.
If this fixes you issue then get new ram for you pc.
