I don't think every BIOS does that. I can't remember mine doing that either, although I might just be so used to it that I felcher it out.

Or you forgot to plug the buzzer in

I didn't plug mine in, I use the led display on my mobo to tell me if anything has gone wrong. Shame it uses a single double digit code for about ten different problems. Good that it hasn't fallen over once yet.

Have you made any changes to the BIOS in the past 6 months?

On balance, I'd say probably yes.

For the record, it used to do the single beep, it definitely did it 2 weeks ago.

I did a few memtest iterations on the second socket, and one of the cards got the errorz lockup. I replaced that card into the first socket and got an error after a few iterations as well. Didn't get any errors for the other card, therefore it was that RAM.

Woo for solving it.

if only one stick of memory is crap in 2 slots, the memory is crap.

OH!

This place is frying my brain.
EDITZ: this place being work, not 5punk

oh hey look, berk called it right away, followed shortly by confirmation from me.

we don't really need a hardware forum, just a sticky that says do memtest.

save me a lot of time

Have you tried memtest?
