| Ok I need help guys. Quick run down: My computer started having really bad artifacts so I pulled my video card out and had it tested at a local computer shop and they said it was bad. I RMA'd it and they sent me a 8800gt (had a 7950gt) I put it in and the started getting one long beep and 2 short beeps. I pulled that video card out and took it to the computer shop and they said it was fine, worked fine in there computer. So i replaced my PSU to "corsair TX650w" had a (Antec 400) now I get the boot screen with no beeps but it runs the Memory test and reboots, just does that over and over. I tried ESC to skip memory test, reboots and starts it again. I tried letting the memory test run and it reboots and starts again. I tried DEL to enter bios and it reboots and starts again. I pulled all memory and tired each one, one at a time and get the same thing. Tired 4 different sticks. All sticks work fine in the wifes computer. Also I cleared the CMOS. I need some help here guys so any help would be great. Here is what I have right now in the computer: Asus A8N5X evga card 8800GT 2 HDD's not raid, one is just for storage one dvd drive AMD X2 +3800 Corsair memory 2gbs (pulled from the wifes computer OCZ memory to try) corsair TX650w PS BIOS i have is 1003 Thanks for any help |

| Replacing the PSU was probably a bit of an unneccesary premature move, however it shouldn't have had an adverse affect. Try switching back to the old PSU, if you still get the beeps then check you're RAM is seated properly. For Asus mobos 1 long and 2 short means no memory is detected, maybe you jogged it or something during the work. |

| Sounds like a fault on the mobo not letting something work. Check every cable and try again. If your parts are compatible with your wifes machine try putting in each component in that machine and picking out the faulty one. Might take some time but it'll narrow it down to your broken component. |

| No, what this sounds like is definitely a memory problem. Set your timings and voltages correctly and see what happens.

Put the old PSU in and still get 1 long and 2 short beeps. With the corsair PSU it boots but runs the memory test then reboots, no beeps. |

| Just remove the battery, wait a few minutes and put it back in. Everything is reset then to standard. |

| Then you have another hardware problem. You're going to have to test each component one at a time, that will lead you to the broken one. |
