New parts and still 2 beeps on startup. PC works fine with display

nehalh2000 · Mar 2, 2016

Current specs:

i3 3220
GTX 650 2gb
1tb western digital HDD
8gb hyperx fury ram (2 sticks)
Asus H61m - k motherboard
500w power supply

I bought new ram and a motherboard due to two short beeps with no display when I tried to boot my pc. I tried everything from replacing CMOS battery, to replacing PSU and hard drive to eventually get fed up and buy more new parts. Buying a new motherboard and ram fixed the issue of the pc not starting up. It starts up fine now however the 2 short beeps are still there. I looked this issue up and found that it means 'parity circuit failure.' Apparently this is to do with the ram but I don't see how this can be possible as I just bought new ram.

Thanks

Sounds like the processor, buy as cheap processor to check and if it works return the cheap processor and buy a replacement.

msproject251 :

This is one of the only things that I haven't replaced that may well be the cause. Won't be buying a processor anytime soon but I'm going to assume this is the issue.

Thanks
