I've been running XP on a Asus A8N-E motherboard for a good while without any problems. The other day I replaced my Hiper Type R 580W PSU with a Corsair HX 520W, and now the PC won't boot and beeps 1 long followed by 3 short. I've stripped it down to bare essentials (motherboard, VC, memory and CPU) but I get the same problem. The problem also persist when I reconnect the Hiper PSU.
According to www.sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146656 these codes mean "memory test failure". I've tried:
1. Reseating everything.
2. Using any possible combination of memory stick(s) and slots.
3. Resetting the CMOS.
The rest of the PC is as per sig, with the exception for Vista which will be installed when (if!?) I can sort this.
Many thanks.
EDIT: According to http://bioscentral.com/beepcodes/awardbeep.htm this code means the graphics card is broken. Anyone know which it is?
