| 223216 | 2004-03-17 08:22:00 | Uh, in all my years of experience I have been taught by many people and lecturers alike that when POST finds problems, it beeps in code to tell us the problem. But what does it mean when nothing beeps? And the speakers are plugged in? And I'm sure everything's meant to be plugged in and is in the right place.... And nothing comes on the screen? And the screen gets no signal? (Ive tried different video cards) |

| 223217 | 2004-03-17 08:32:00 | as off personal experience maybe the ram or cpu aren't connected properly, maybe something is touching/connected to something it's not supposed to | Jacob4165 (199) | ||

Yes.... True. > > But what does it mean when nothing beeps? Inside the system unit there will be a connection from the motherboard to an internal speaker inside the system unit. Now if no beeps then ensure the INTERNAL speaker is connected to motherboard and the speaker works. You are not going to hear post codes unless the internal speaker works and connected to the motherboard in the first place. Secondly you might want to check the video card. External speaker will not generally output post codes. > > And the speakers are plugged in? > And I'm sure everything's meant to be plugged in and > is in the right place.... > > And nothing comes on the screen? > > And the screen gets no signal? (Ive tried different > video cards) Check the internal speaker for post codes. Check RAM inserted in right slots. If RAM not inserted correctly you may not get the computer to boot and once again no post codes possibly. |
