| 351238 | 2005-05-01 15:59:00 | My computerwas working fine one day then the next day it starts up but it won't boot up. Also there is no beeping or anything which BIOS should do as i know of... but rarely there is beeping but i heard 2 different beeping from my computer. once it did a long single beep and another time it did fast 4 beeps then 2 beeping in a pattern beep-beep pause beep-beep pause beep-beep pause then so on. when it does the second type of beep the screen comes up and it boots up... but it has serious problems and tells me to go to the setup before it fully boots up. Then when i do i have no clue what to do :@@: the setup it like the place its all blue and sort of in a DOS form. so anyways... :help: :help: :help: !!! |

| 351241 | 2005-05-01 19:14:00 | Hi, Welcome to PressF1 :) Yes something is wrong. Those beeps are part of the error diagnostic code given by your machines BIOS. Depending on what brand of BIOS you have (that blue screen that you get into after entering setup is the BIOS), they mean different things. Did you see any other error messages/code displayed when you got the message about there being a serrors error? In your BIOS screen you should have shown at the top what BIOS brand/version you have. Then you can check out your beep pattern against the codes. Beep code reference ( www.pchell.com). Not knowing your BIOS brand or more specific error codes, I'm guessing from the 2 beep pattern that this is indicating memory problems. Make sure the RAM is firmly seating in the slot. Do you have a single stick of RAM or more? If more, then trying removing one at a time and then rebooting the machine to determine which one is faulty. |

Also there is no beeping or anything which BIOS should do as i know of... but rarely there is beeping With no beeps and no booting I'd first try another RAM module. Otherwise do what Jens says as its hard to tell without more info from you. |

| 351243 | 2005-05-01 23:46:00 | Not all systems beep on bootup like this one . It used to, but people who have the same mobo, got confused, as it used to beep with any USB device that was plugged in as well . And if I still had the old BIOS in this, it would have beeped like 4 times, since I have 4 USB devices plugged into it at the mo . |
