| 386997 | 2005-09-09 03:53:00 | How hot is the CPU's heatsink? If you can't hold your finger on it it's too hot. I'm tempted to think that it's overheating. That could be the reason for the long beep. | Graham L (2) | ||

Also, check to ensure the monitor cable is connected properly. Repeating (endless loop) Memory error Check for improperly seated or missing memory. 1long, 3short No video card or bad video RAM Reseat or replace the video card. High frequency beeeps while running Overheated CPU Check the CPU fan for proper operation. Check the case for proper air flow. Repeating High/Low CPU Either the CPU is not seated properly or the CPU is damaged. May also be due to excess heat. Check the CPU fan or BIOS settings for proper fan speed. |

| 386999 | 2005-09-09 04:12:00 | Thanks Graham. I'll try that when I get home. | RR-S (8447) | ||
| 387000 | 2005-09-09 04:13:00 | 1 long beep (endless loop) Will check memory also. Thanks | RR-S (8447) | ||
| 387001 | 2005-09-09 04:16:00 | Anyway, the fact that you get beep as a fault indication probably means that the motherboard is OK. If it was dead, it wouldn't know. ;) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 387002 | 2005-09-09 04:16:00 | I forgot to mention. I installed a new power supply unit. Could this be a potential problem ? |

| 387003 | 2005-09-09 04:24:00 | Anyway, the fact that you get beep as a fault indication probably means that the motherboard is OK. If it was dead, it wouldn't know. ;) Thats poor logic, I have seen many motherboards allow Windows boot and be used extended periods of time before system crash... The presence of a beep is in no way an indication that the board is healthy. |

| 387004 | 2005-09-09 04:24:00 | No. It is a hard drive from my redundant damaged motherboard. Windows installed. On first boot, I got to the desktop, Then the above trouble started. Thanks You will be in trouble anyway, even if you get past the boot stage. You cant just use a HDD with operating system from another computer, the drivers will be all wrong, unless the motherboard and hardware are the same. To do that all drivers and devices should have been removed first, or do it in Safe Mode. |

Thanks I suggest you format your hard drive and reinstall windows. It is advisable to do this with a new mother board, if you don't you end up with problems like you are getting. Trevor :) |

| 387006 | 2005-09-09 04:56:00 | Forget windows, forget the HD, unplug it. Boot without it, if the system gets as far as asking for a boot source then boot off a live CD, UBCD or a linux distro. If the comp isn't even getting past boot then the OS has nothing to do with the current issue. |
