686202 2008-07-07 22:55:00 Dear all,
A friend of mine is having problem with starting his computer. Upon power up, the tower emitted five sets of rapid beeps at the stage where the screen says "AHCI BIOS Installed", with the last set being slightly out of tone. The interval between each set lasts for a few seconds. On opening up the case, a plug labelled P7 with red - black - black - yellow wires coming out of it isn't plugged into anything. Any ideas what's happening?

Cheers :)

What exact pattern of beeps does it give? % short beeps, 5 long beeps? What exactly?

Its a hardware problem.
