Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: I am not sure, but the box says Click BIOS II
VGA: MSI 7850 Twin Frozr III
PSU: Corsair Builder 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor LGA 1155
MEM: Corsair
HDD: 1 TB Western Digital Caviar Black
COOLER: CoolMaster Hyper 212 EVO
OC: none

3 beeps is a memory failure!
try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

Can i crossfire two radeon 7950's with msi Z77A-G43

Im looking to buy MSI's version of the Radeon 7950 twin Frozr to complete my system but im not sure if i will eventually be able to crossfire two of these cards in the future. I know that this MB only has one PCIe3 slots. Does this matter in crossfire? or will I have to replace the MB in order to corssfire?
MSI Z77A-G43
8gb Corsair Vengence
600 Watt Corsair PSU
Intel Core i5 3770k Oc's at 4.2 ghz
500 gb Western Digital HDD
Cooler Master hyper EVO 212

that should work but at PCI-E REV 2.0 speeds just make sure you have gen 3 support turned off or it will not allow crossfire!

New Computer with MSI 925XE Platinum(MSI-7053)

On Wednesday June 14th after a 10 month delay I picked up a custom built computer built by a fellow worker
it has an Intel 775 processor running at 3.0 GHz, 1 GB of Geil 533MHz memory, a 160GB & a 250GB Western Digital HD the 1st is IDE & the 2nd SATA, a Sony DVD-ROM & HP DVD 640i lightscribe optical drives both as RAID 0
& it has Azailia\AC'97 sound with Windows XP Professional OEM Edition
when I started it up I noticed it was as mute as Sheilds & Yarnell mimes that was hot during the mid '90's
also I also noticed that because of the 11 in 1 card readers I noticed that instead of the main drive being the usual C:\, it was configured as I:\ this drove my programs totally bazoo because the apps were looking for the traditional C:\ so at first I reinstalled XP figuring it would give you the option of reconfiguring the HD as a C:\ but when it was status quo I took out the Western Digital setup prgrams and reformatted totally wiping out the RAID as good as the bug spray its named after
I have 2 questions
a. how does one either revives the RAID?
b. how can you reconfigure both drives as C:\ & D:, the opticals E:\ & F:\
and the card readers G:\ thru N:?
c. how can you make the Azailia 7.1 sound chip work with my primitive(in comparisom) 2.1 set up?
I have absolutely no room in the room for all those speakers!
since this is my 1st custom built machine I'm a virgin like Madonna(the singer)!
any help would be truly appreciated by a person who's "Sgt Schultz" in this
Thank You

"Houston we finally have a computer!" on Tuesday night after the revival of my new Screamin Meanie machine I finally figured out how to get it to sing. unlike my old HP Pavilion 7965 PC which has merely one jack there's at least 5 or 6 jacks to the Azalia and that's why I was throughly bazoo so I noticed the out to speaker jack so I decided to try it and that was the solution. granted there's still a few bugs that Raid(vs. RAID) didn't kill like the SM Bus driver couldn't be installed or the Wireless 54 g didn't work(that's because Philly didn't get to my part of the city with its well propagandized free internet program yet) or the fact that it's deep inside the room near the door, but I can live with it and the configuration the builder dealt my computer. at least until I have to give it an enema to resusitate it.
then I will do it my way according to your help.
Thank you very much. you guys have saved me from wasting 4 figures from a 2nd PC croaking prematurely like my 1st one a 1994 model Packard Bell Legend 1956 which sent me to he double hockey sticks when to eliminate it going on a monthly hissy fit I did an "Oscar Goldman" putting in around $1,700(this one cost $1,600) rebuilding it and then it died because I was trying to put in a tape backup program which wasn't compatible with the new parts and the master recovery CD's didn't work for the same reason.

Secure boot not working with MSI Z77a-G45 And system reserve not showing

Ok so i re did my windows after i did a zero fill on my hard drive as it was showing a corrupted sector on my disk that seemed to fix it for now, until it comes back if it does crossing my fingers it gone for good. But now i can't seem to get Secure boot to work i mean i did not have it before as i just slapped the motherboard in with a existing windows, that was to be expected but this is a clean install of windows 8.1 and i even have secure boot on but its not working and reports as off in windows. Is it because i have my bios set to legacy+UEFI??? would that make secure boot not work??. i even went as far as turning it off and back on again the secure boot setting nothing made a difference. I mean its not a big deal bit would be nice to know why its not working, also another wired thing and i will post pictures of it, as i cant see my system reserved partition in disk management but diskpart says it there, i will post those pictures any ideas??.

fixed it is my legacy+uefi another forum got back to me.

Late 2011 17 Inch MacBook Pro Not Booting, Three Beeps When I hold "C"

my late 2011 mbp 17 inch will not boot. In safe mode with verbose it stops at the point looking for my hard drive. Disk utility in single user mode said the SSD has "keys out of order" and could not verify disk etc.
However when I hold "c" aka trying to boot off my optical drive with Snow Leopard in it...it beeps three times, which after searching everyone seems convinced it's memory but I took out my upgraded memory that was in it and put the factory 4gig (2x2gb) sticks back in and it's the same exact thing...three beeps when holding "c".
If I hold nothing my computer shows the apple logo, the spining boot up activity icon, AND a progress bar at the bottom that get's about 1/6th of the way doing whatever it's doing and then it instantly shuts down.
Any other ideas besides the idea that my logic board that is 1 year old randomly stopped working? It's just weird that my 9 month old SSD is not being recognized while at the same time, holding "C" to try and call my optical drive to boot I get three beeps.

HT5577 When I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password, so I set up a new ID and password. Now I can't locate or sync my old library of music onto my iPOD. Any ideas?

when I bought a new computer with Windows8.1, iTunes wouldn't accept my old ID and password. After entering a new ID and password I got in, but now I can't sync the music that was in my original library. When I try to sync a message says that music will be removed from "other" libraries, so I know they're out there somewhere. Just can't get to them. Any ideas?

- Is the computer authorized for the iTunes account(s) used on the iPod?
- Are you syncing or manually managing music?
- In iTunes if you go to Preferences and then go to the Devices tab, what date is show for the iPod backup? Is if before you switched computers?
- Your iPod sees the new computer as a new library/computer and you can only sync to one library. You need to restore you iPod from a backup. If that bacup is hosw in Preferences, restore from that backup.
- If the backup is after you switched computers, you have two options:
--- Try to make a backup by right clicking on the iPd under Devices in iTunes and selecting backup.
--- If you can't make a backu, can you get one from the backup of your old computer. It is located here and yu may have to have show hidden files turned on.

PIXMA330 and new computer with Windows 8.1. Error Code 2,148,0 when trying to scan

I have a PIXMA330 and bought new computer with Windows 8.1. I get error code 2,148,0 when trying to scan. I tried to download updated driver but still have the problem. Is this common? Thank you.

You may have a BIOS problem, but there are no drivers for the BIOS. The BIOS is the system firmware. You will have to go to the support website of the computer/motherboard manufacturer to look for a BIOS update as Windows has nothing to do with
the BIOS - that is the sole responsibility of the computer/motherboard manufacturer.

My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. It *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

My ipod (nano, 6th generation) won't sync to a new computer with different stuff on it. Itunes on the new computer doesn't give the usual warning that you are about to lose all your existing stuff and the ipod *appears* to sync but when it's done it still has the stuff from the other computer on it. What to do?

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

I just got a new computer with Vista on it. When I hook my WRT54G router to it, I am unable to send e-mails. They get stuck in my OUTBOX and I get a timeout error. I can receive e-mails but cannot send them. Also, my internet can drag at times when the router is connected. When I remove the router, everything works fine.
I've contacted Tech support several times and every suggestion they give doesn't solve the problem. I've updated firmware, changed all sorts of settings in the router setup page, including adjusting my Port Range Forward settings (at the instruction of tech support)
I'm wondering if it's just a Vista thing and I should buy a newer router. I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions?
Patrick

Well if you can send emails, when you connect computer to modem directly, then it might be ports forwarding issue. Update firmware of router to latest version and assign a static ip on computer like 192.168.1.11, and obtain ports used by outgoing mail server, and forward those ports to static IP assigned, on router's setup.

Three beeps when starting up from a disc

three beeps when starting from a disc

If your MBP came with lion or mountain lion. You will need to reboot the computer with a bootable Lion DVD. Unlike previous versions of Mac OS X, Lion (OS X 10.7) doesn’t ship with a bootable disc—it’s available only as an installer app downloadable from the Mac App Store. Once you have attained one of these disks. Boot and enter utilities and reformat the hard disk. Ensure that "Guid" is selected under options and that you also select "Mac OS Extended - Journaled. Hopefully before you do any of this you have a very recent time machine backup.
Once reformatted the computer should startup from the Lion Boot DVD without the beeps and you can reinstall the OS and restore your backup.
Good luck
