Typical!!

I spend half my time sorting out other peoples PCs, come home last night and my main rig is emitting a series of BIOS beeps!!

Into the workshop ( oh it's so handy ) and it turns out that the B-channel memory has developed a fault.

I can get over this by sticking both sticks into the same channel. I'll loose dual channel but not sure if this is going to be a problem. Interestingly, the memory now shows as 333MHz not 400Mhz in the POST.

It seems the motherboard is still under warrantee according to ASUS - 3 years but they say contact the supplier. That's going to be interesting. I'm sure scan won't be interested in a obsolete board?? Not sure how this is going to be handled. Anyway, I'm waiting for a call back. Maybe this is a good time for an upgrade.. the system is 2 years old now.. but the upgrade is costly..

I was thinking of this: although it's cheaper with scan
