Hi all, I was trying to plug in my memory card (one of those stupid SD cards with a USB "plug") to my PC when it suddenly started beeping at me. The beep was constant, very loud and always occurs when I turn the PC on now. Furthermore, after a restart, the keyboard/mouse (which both have LED's) are dark, nothing shows up on screen, just that dreaded piercing beep. I tried one stick of RAM, and nothing. I even tried with no RAM, still same thing. LCD on back of mobo says DET DRAM. Spec: Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (newest bla bla installed) GeForce 8800GTS 512 SLi (newest forceware) Asus Striker Extreme with Q6600 (CPU has a Thermalright Ultima 90I) (newest BIOS) Geil DDR2 Ultra 800MHz (4X1GB) Antec 800W PSU This is yet another problem Im having with this mobo EDIT: SP1 has been installed a few days ago, and thats it.
According to the Asus website's help pages, DET DRAM means your mobo has detected your RAM. Sounds like you might have a dodgy graphics card to me, although the beep codes aren't actually in the online manual for that mobo - try a further googling session.
