Memory Error

[Rohit Jackdaw]

My issue started yesterday. Two times after cold boot my PC just restarted automatically and after both restarts I played GTA V for about 3-4 hours straight. That was yesterday. Today morning when I try to turn the PC on No POST. I tried pressing reset button. After turning PC off. I hold down the power button to drain the power for 20 seconds or so. Then I turned the PC on and it long beeps endlessly every 1 second or so. I then turned the PC off. The I took out my RAM and went to a friends house. Inserted both sticks and his PC didn't boot. Removed one and didn't boot. Took that out and placed the other and it boots and works. Then I took his sticks and brought it to my home and inserted both into my PC into the same slots as my sticks were. The system booted and worked and even ran games. So can I confirm that one stick of my RAM is dead ? Also does system reboot automatically when there is an issue with RAM ? Also at first the BIOS memory speed was set to 1600 MHz manually and when inserting my friends stick it didn't boot and I cleared CMOS. Only then it booted. His sticks were 1333 MHz. Thanks

I think he was trying to use XMP with the ram to overclocking the ram. What type of ram does your friend have? as in brand.
