Ram problem after desktop fall.

    Basically someone managed to knock my desktop tower off the desk. Its a thermaltake armour case so it took the fall as well as could be expected.

    However after the fall I was getting 4 long beeps on startup, no bios screen etc. I took out the ram and tried each stick, one at a time and the computer worked perfectly.

    Tried two sticks in slot A and C like your meant to and perfect.
    Tried two sticks in slot B and D like your meant to and perfect.

    Tried all sticks in that combination and they work fine.

    However as soon as 4 sticks are put in I am back to four beeps on startup followed a few seconds later by 2 long beeps.

    Its MSI P45 board, any ideas ?

    Ouch!!

    Try clearing the cmos/bios.
    Check the cpu socket also as if you have a heavy cpu heatsink it may have caused damage to the socket.

    Have done all this, have actually stripped out the board and reassembled and problem persists. I was thinking about doing a mobo, cpu and ram upgrade anyway so this may push me into it. Might start another thread looking for advice on that.
