So while playing SC my comp crashed, it went from every month to week to day to hour to minutes now. after crashing the bios rings two long beeps (I know this means something but I can't find what) and I have to reboot. So I'm guessing its RAM. I thought I had 512md but I can't open system information so I think I have a memory shortage. Does anybody know of the problem, or something i need to do because this computer has already burned up a gig of RAM and now im getting a little concerned if i buy more it will just burn up or if theres another problem.

please help.

You could disconnect everything in your pc, take off all of its pieces, clean them up all, and make sure they are properly connected. Trust me, my uncle had a similar problem, and al he did was disconnect the RAM memory and re-connect it to make sure it was properly connected. And, voila, it worked.

haaaaaaa id have to try to get the side of my computer. lol i know right. i dont know my componets very well what would happen if i didnt have a 512 stick in? i have an AMD motherboard does that have onboard ram? does my graphics card ram count toward the whole computer?
