I have given my old rig to my friend and it is as shown below

AMD Athlon 4200+
Asus M2NMX
Sony DVD writer
Zion 800 Mhz 2GB RAM
Seagate 80 GB HDD

For past few days he is facing a problem> When he tries to turn on the pc one long and followed by two short beep continues that cycle.....and nothing happens after that

I have disconnected all the parts one by one ....after that removed the battery and inserted it again ...problem solved for two days and then reappeared ...

Now suggest me the permanent solution...

Click to expand...

looking at the config posted on the first post - I think his friend is using the mobos onboard IGP ;-)

Problem with ram modules.
