3 beeps on start up, then put 1 ram (2gb) reinstall and booted ok, shutdown then unplug then the other 2gb memory and booted and ok now???
perm fix, or just temp?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.4)
When it comes to RAM, iMac's are very picky.
Exactly which iMac do you have?
see > How to identify iMac models
And exactly what RAM are you putting into it?
24-inch mid 2007 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, iMac. 2 days ago spouse told me it was beeping. I was out of town, then when I returned, I took out the 1 2 gb ram that had been in there for 4 + years, 2-2gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, it worked. then reinstalled the other and it works now. just wondering if there was an update that could have affected the POST? as I said its been in the machine for quite awhile and just lately having this issue.
thanks for the reply, any insight would be appreciated
If it is working after firmly reseating both modules, then most likely you just had a loose module.
If it reoccurs, run the > Apple Hardware Test
