Re: “Upon booting, the computer is throwing errors - one beep followed by three more in quick succession.”
It's an American Megatrends BIOS. I looked up the beep codes and one long followed by three short means MEMORY ERROR:
1 Long Beep + 3 Short Beeps

If you hear one long beep followed by three short ones, this is due to a failure above the 64 KB mark in the computer's system memory.

There's little practicality in this test versus some of the earlier tests because the solution is the same—replace the RAM.
It is continuing to occur now that I've pulled the wireless network card back out. I don't know why I didn't notice the memory error earlier.

I'll try using ONE of the memory cards instead of both and see if I can pin it down to one card or the other. If I can't, I may have to return both cards and use the old 3GB memory.
