Hi, part of the way through a clean install of Windows 10 Home to a new HDD the install fails and my PC emits three long beeps. It did similar yesterday when all I was trying to do was boot from the installation media (a USB Drive) that I had created with the Media Creation Tool. It still beeped even after removing the USB drive but thankfully after 20 minutes or so it was ok and I could boot into my existing installation.
FYI, in case its relevant, I'm doing a clean 64 bit install (my existing system is 32 bit) so I can upgrade my system memory. I'm doing the install to a new 2GB SATA HDD. I should point out that I have installed the new memory and my PC booted fine and the system saw the memory although of course my 32 bit system could not use it.
FYI Here's an extract of the current spec from Belarc.
Enclosure Type: Desktop
Processor
3.20 gigahertz AMD Phenom II X4 955
256 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
64-bit ready
Multi-core (4 total)
Not hyper-threaded
Main Circuit Board
Board: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-MA770T-UD3
Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
BIOS: Award Software International, Inc. F8 10/18/2010
Am I ok asking this here or should I try somewhere like tom's Hardware?
Thanks for any help.
