Ive been getting 2 beeps on boot up after the POST, which is a memory error. So ive run memtest86, done three full passes with not a single error. Can the 2 beep error be caused by a motherboard fault or can it only be a RAM problem?

Try each module individually and see if one of them is bad. If they are not which is what I am thinking then it might be related to the motherboard. Where did you get the code result from? Which BIOS manufacturer?

How did you do memtest if your board is not posting?

My pc does boot, but I always get 2 beeps after post, its an AMI bios so 2 beeps is a memory error. I also get the occasional blue screen. Ill try each module separately. I suspect that the mobo is dodgy though.

what kind of memory error? there are different ones. And yes do as he said, test them both separately.

Well you said you can get into the OS, so I am guessing you have a parity error on the first 64k of the memory? Try switching them around to different bank.
