Windows 10: PC crashes after hard boot

I think I may have misread the beep code meanings and the continuous short beep could mean power unit failed? I hope that is not the case. Can someone confirm that for me and can you please advise how I can recover the power supply if that is the case.

 

I'm afraid I can't troubleshoot the PC right now as it doesn't even go past the POST section.

 

How many beeps do you hear and what is their rhythm?

 

They are short, continuous beeps every 2.5 seconds. The beeps are rather low and quiet when compared to the normal single beep.

 

I MAY have fixed it. After doing a bit of research, I found out that I should change the RAM stick configuration, I moved the RAM sticks from DDR3_1 and DD3_3 to DDR3_2 and DDR3_4, the PC boots up like a charm and doesn't even freak out when I give it a hard boot.Will changing the memory stick configuration cause any problems? Or is just fine as long as it works? I can't definitely tell if the problem has gone but still, thank you for taking time to help me solve this issue.

 

It shouldn't cause any trouble, the BIOS should detect the changes and apply the memory settings automatically. If it doesn't you need reset the BIOS (load optimal default settings)

 

Thank you for that, I will mark this thread as solved after two days if the PC carries on working well.

 

I would recommend a period of non-overclocking and I hope your system continues to be stable as it is now *Smile

 

I think this issue has been solved after changing the RAM configuration, so I will mark this thread as solved.However, I did receive a System_Thread_exception_Not_Handled BSOD yesterday, but that was due to the me enabling the fast boot which I had been advised to disable previously before, I checked today without fast boot and no BSOD occurred so all is well so far.
