| 604084 | 2007-10-22 08:21:00 | When the computer first turns on it does a Power On Self Test (POST). Each time it checks something it sends out a beep code (which is why you hear a random series of beeps when you first turn it on). If something is wrong the beeps, or lack of them, can tell you where the problem is. Try www.computerhope.com for further info and a list of codes. I found this in google by looking for "post beeps". There are lots of other pages using this search term. |

| 604089 | 2007-10-22 19:37:00 | Approach the problem with extensive knowledge and tools such as an anti-static strap And also be able to pinpoint the problem, is it the Motherboard thats faulty or is it the Graphic Card, or something else. | wainuitech (129) | ||
