BIOS ERROR 8302 HELP

K-dex98 · August 23, 2015

I have an M4A78 Pro Motherboard that has started playing up and now its got me scared.

While editing a video, I noticed that my fans were messing up the audio. So I turned off the PC, pulled out the CPU stock cooler and cleaned it for dust, which it was caked... Due to my lack of funds, I did not clean off the TC.

After putting it back in, plugged it and secured it. The computer refused to post. No beep. No display. I watched Linus' old No Post video on NCIX, nothing helped. After 2 hours of hard resets, it posted... with:

*two beeps*
*Display*
*single beep*
