So my 2008 dell optiplex 755 desktop tonight crashed. I was eating while watching tv but had my desktop running so i could play civilization 5. No programs were running it was on just stting idle.

But i look up and the screen showed the pc crashed and restarted itself. I thought everything was okay but it froze so i pushed the power button to restart again so i could boot up in safe mode.

Yet when it powered back on i got beep codes 3 for the Motherboard: Chipset. Then beep code 1 for a bit Motherboard: BIOS ROM Failure.

Then code 3 and 4 Memory (RAM) Failure.

So i dont know what do too.

I did what i normally do unplug the power click the power button to make sure the power drained. Then took out the ram and graphics card. Gave the card and the inside of the pc a good clean.

Then put the power cord back in with the ram and G card removed then turned on the power sometimes in the past this tricked worked. Yet i got beep codes 3 again. Tried putting the ram and g card back in then after repeating the power drain process.

Poweres it but up with everything back in then i get a code 1.

So my pc might be a paper weight now.

What i need is someway to take out the harddrives that are in raid and Transfer the files and family photos over something else. What kind of cord or device i can use safely without throwing the hard drives in a new pc?

Sorry for my terrible spelling and grammer im just upset cause i need this desktop working to do job applications and its nice to pc game from time to time.
