Hello,
I had a 512 and a 256 card. Changed the 2nd card to a 512. Computer starts then stops. monitor says "going to sleep". If I take out both the mem cards, it will stay on and give long beeps. I had just defragged and did all the updates.

Help

HI,

Of course you will hear a long beep if you take out all RAMS, just use the 512 one and it should work!!!

I tested it with no mem and got POST code E1, page won't load.
With any combo of mem it shuts off after a sec and the last code I get is FF.
Is this a bad board or bad memory?

Yes I expected it to beep with no memory. You are very rude.
