the odd thing is that i dont remember putting in any thermal paste im currently trying to take in and out the video card and ram sticks but keep getting beeps. should i try the ram sticks in the same slot or do i interchange them into other slots. currently with everything in all 4 ram sticks and video card The beeps go: 1 double beep 8 quick beeps i tried reseting the cmos, im not sure exactly what kind of bios i have so it made googling the beeping codes really difficult im wondering if someone knows what it is from the motherboard.
