Subject: [PCBUILD] BIOS Error Beep
(edited for brevity)
....the following complaints:  intermittent screen freezing, intermittent mouse cursor 'jumpy'then sticking til it freezes, keyboard unresponsive, then back to normal.
The problem goes in a cycle.  Customer noticed when mouse cursor left idle on screen awhile, an hour-glass appears for a second and disappears, program appears jerky (on the screen) when mouse is acting up.
When I hook up the CPU for a test,  a 3-long beep code was heard.   (BIOS= AMI)
