(with the system turned off and power plug out) remove the cmos battery wait a bit then replace the battery plug the power back in and boot. see if that fixes your trouble.

I did what you told me but it does not work. It was able to bootup in window but for about 3 min i would have a distored color screen then the blue screen came one with all errors message.
Now when i boot up i hear the one beep then 3 quick beeps after that and the bootup in window.
I 'm searching for the beep code on this ASUS m4a785td-m evo to see what is the errors message is about!!

In an AMI BIOS (Asus) a beep pattern of 1 long - 3 short indicates Memory test failure: "A fault has been detected in memory above 64KB".

Remove all of the sticks of RAM and test with just the one stick in slot A1. If that does not work, then switch the sticks in slot A1. If you have 4 sticks then test each one in slot A1. See if it will boot with just one stick installed.

Have you made any changes to your hardware recently?

no, i have not!!.
It workong fine for about 7 months after i build it then i t got unstable, reboot frequently. I thought that was software problem so i wipe all software out, reinstall window and slowly ad back the software one by one and it work for about 5 months till now.
I have 2 stick of crossair left , i'll dry that.
One awhile it would gave me a long countinue beep untill i shut it down and that got me all confussed
Thanks for helping
