Computer wizzes I need your help
My desktop keep restarting, over and over and over.
I have tried to run all the safe modes, last know config, etc..etc..
And I've went to the point that to instal a new windows. But it restarts during the installation process.
So what the hell is up?

How many beeps?
Grundgy sound could be your hard drive going.

Dust it out, try again. Hard drives make 3 clicks if they are dying. Not sure about SSD Drives though.

How much ram you got bro?
If more than one stick, try running with only one, or removing ones you've added recently.
3 beeps usually means RAM failure.

I honestly don't know. I know I have 1.5g ram, but I don't know how many sticks. It's my mom's friends old pc, so I dunno if he customized it or anything, I doubt he did though, since it can run games for shit.
