Hey, first time poster here on tomshardware, long time viewer. Lots of my previous questions concerning computers have been solved here.
my system spec's are as follows:
Asus M2N SLI Deluxe
AMD Athlonx2 5600+
Crucial Ballistix 2g kit (2x1g) DDR2 RAM @ 800
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS
Seagate Barracuda 160g 7200rpm HDD
Antec 500w PSU
all of a sudden, out of nowhere, my machine refuses to boot. instead, all i get is a very loud, very annoying, Hiss like beep. its constant, no pattern...just hissing.
At first i was thinking ram? thats not the case...i've tested my own, and another kit i've purchased.
Second thought was the power supply? dont think its the case, but it may be...
The video post i get before i get the chance to enter the bios, the beep starts, i can see my processor, but not the ram...freezes before it shows anything.
I think i have it narrowed down to CPU / Mobo.
Any ideas? suggestions?
