Hello. If anyone ever experienced this please help.
I was playing Half-Life2 when all the sudden the computer did a harsh reboot by itself. Now the computer freezes at ram check screen. But sometimes it'll make it to the desktop just enough to see my desktop and it freezes. The hd light stayed on the entire time, even after it freezes. Also I was not able to boot into safemode. and by trying to boot with last known good configuration it failed as well. The entire time the motherboard did not indicate error via beeps.
I was thinking that it could be HL2 because it just did a patch update. I tried to see if it's the ram by trying them one at a time. When I use the first slot from the left the computer simply would not even get to the bios screen. And when I used the middle and the right slot I get DRam error beep by the motherboard. The two rams that I have are 512 DDRs. So I suspect that it could be my motherboard, but I'm kinda out of ideas. Is there a way to find out if my motherboard was the culprit? or if anyone had similar problem please let me know. Thank you in advance for reading my rambling.
Oh my specs are:
AMD64 3000
Gigabyte k8vt800pro
geforce 5800oc
klingston and geil ddr ram
Enermax Coolergiant 480w
seagate HD for os
winxp pro service pack 2
if more info is needed please let me know. Thanks
