No beeps or display but 1 long beep and 2 normal when ram is removed

Andrew_139 · Dec 9, 2016

I went to install a new blu ray drive, I had to remove my ram to get the old dvd one and and put the new one in. I reconnected the cables for the disk drive, put the 4 ram slots back in. But when I turned on the PC nothing shows on display. All my fans spin the lights on the mouse show the HDD sounds like it was running and even the disk drive made noises. So I took two of my old rams out (thought maybe they were the problem) and turned it back on and got one long beep and two short beeps. Is the motherboard gone or is it something else.

are, all the chips on your set of 4 ram stick identical ? could you be mixing them up putting them back in ?

I have 2 hyperx 4gb and 2 samsung 2gb ones

and you have not answered if your mixing the sticks (i.e. putting 1 Samsung in slot 1 and putting a hyper-x in slot 3?)

I would suggest removing the Samsung's sticks and trying just one pair of ram sticks on the motherboard after making sure you blow/vacuum the ram slots in case dirt got inside them making bad contacts.

Iv made sure the slots are clean I put hyperx in one and two then the samsung ones in 3 and 4 (no mixing)
When turned on with all ram in there are 0 beeps

Andrew_139 :

normally ram pairs are sim1 and 3 and sim 2 and 4
so in your case, Hyperx in 1, Samsung in 2, Hyperx in 3, Samsung in 4

what motherboard do you have ?
