Hey guys.
For those who have used a Mac, I am guessing that this has happened to them before. I turned on my Mac today and the grey screen came up. It started making a weird beeping noise (three) and stopped for a few seconds and repeated. I searched this up and found out that it means there are no good RAM banks. This is either due to the major heat of HL2:DM from last night or something completely different.

So I will be trying to look at my RAM and see if it got knocked out of place later on; I can't get my case off and will require assistance. I might need new RAM but I'm not sure.

So does anybody have ideas of what to do? I have no Apple Store near me so the best I could get currently is a call to Apple.
