If you have something go wrong at this level the computer may or may not be operable, but as a helpful indication of the problem the BIOS will emit a series of beeps in a code to indicate the type of fault(I'm sorry I don't how the code translates, it may be different for different BIOS's) Search the net for BIOS beep code plus your BIOS type. Hope it helps. | Guest (0) | ||

| 12253 | 2001-05-10 15:29:00 | The common reasons for getting POST Codes (beeping), are due to Video, RAM or CPU problems (in that order). If your monitor has an indicator light which changes colour when the computer starts up (eg. from orange when the computer is off, to green when it is on), then monitor it during start up. If the light does not change colour, then it is most likely to be a video problem. NOTE: Monitors with on screen display, will display a 'no Signal' message if there is no video output. First check that the video cable does not have any bent pins, it is correctly/firmly connected to the monitor and computer. Then check that the video card is is properly seated. If neither of these fix the fault, the video card is probably defective. If the light does change colour, then it is probably RAM at fault. Check the RAM is seated correctly. If this doesn't cure the problem and you have more than one RAM module fitted, try booting the computer with only one block fitted at a time until you isolate the faulty piece. About the only way to test the CPU, is to fit a serviceable one to your computer, or fit yours to another machine. |
