    Hello. I have had my laptop for several months now and I wanted to try over clocking just for kicks. When I went to reboot my system, I got a 4 beeps code with a black screen which means a read/write issue with the ram. I then removed the ram and cleaned everything and still got 4 beeps. I tried to boot without ram and got 2 beeps which is "no ram detected".

    Did I fry my ram or do I need to reset the CMOS?

    4 beeps indicates RAM issues. If you re-seat the RAM and still beeping then try the EC reset.
