I hope my ram isnt toast - I have two sticks of it. Plus I get the same
beep code regardless of whether the RAM is in or not so I thought it might
be a problem with something before the RAM check is made?

My system does have a problem with overheating - it once got as high as
107ºC supposedly (not sure how much faith I put in the temp reading program)
and qute often crashed as a result (I believe overheating to be the cause) -
the crashes only ever happened during gaming though.

At the moment my system is cool and the one time I managed to get into the
BIOS the CPU temp was reported at 32ºC - I have all the sides off my case
too at the moment.

I'm not doing any overclocking.

The problem is I'm not in the position to do any updates as I can't even get
to the POST screen...

I will try the RAM in diff slots to see if I get any changes in beep code.

Thanks for your help!
