4 memory sticks of 2gb each= 8gb

try like hawk suggest.
if that's still can't, i wonder that's cause into your memory, how much GB you put your memory.

try to put 2 stick of memory = 4GB and see that's happen again or not.

PC Wizard will have all that plus a little more included in that program.

Hey , i have changed ram sticks order in memory slots and I successfully logged in.
Before that i tried booting up with just one stick changed to another slot but nothing, then I placed another stick and nothing, then I summed the other two sticks and Voila, here I am writing from my problematic computer.
I will not turn it off until i am done with your suggestions.
I will also try to flash the BIOS since I've never done that and my motherboard's website have a BIOS update published.

So the question that is left is: Is this a memory issue or graphic card issue?
Also, and think you should know that before, when this happened for the first time, I reseated the CMOS battery but I've never configured my BIOS after that. Everything is at the default values.
Would this be that I have to change something in the BIOS?

I have my computer case open right now and when I touch the video card i feel that is kind of hot, how could I know how hot is too hot?

Thanks a lot you all, hanging in there!

sometime that's cause a memory sticks but i'm not sure too, it's can many possible on it, can be graphics card and also temperature of CPU.

I never rush at flashing the bios unless there's a problem that needs to be fixed or a newer version will enable support for something. The screen here will show how PC Wizard displays both cpu and video card temps all in one window making it a good one to have.

The beep code heard is stricly hardware not software in every case. The single long beep followed by two short beeps in many bioses points at the video card itself. But that is also depends on what bios the board there has there as well while a temp problem likely from what you are describing.

One example where that particular points to something is seen with the AST Research bios: one long, two shortDMA page register test failed (POST 18)

That is the list of various bios codes seen at BIOS Beep Codes

Bios Central and other sites also have charts to lookover once you know which one you have.

That may be slightly warm but still within the normal temp range. It also depends on what you were doing when the screen went black on you like running a game or something else that would place a good load on the card which then heated up further.

The cpu temp was great and not any worry there on that. Now you have to find out which bios is used on that make and model board however in order to look up the actual definition for the 1 long 2 short while I suspect the card itself may be the card on the way without actually seeing temps high enough to overheat since most of this is being seen at startup.
