| 380682 | 2005-08-13 01:13:00 | Startup problem After pushing power button on case the computer makes a continuous series of beeps and the monitor shows a message CHECK SIGNAL CABLE. I have cleaned the monitor plug and cleaned and reseated the graphics card,this has made no difference.The good news is that if the reset button is pushed whilst the computer is beeping it start normally.Also,if shutdown and started again fairly soon after, it will start normally.Perhaps the fault is related to cold starts.I have looked in the Bios,and to an unskilled eye,looks OK.Also the battery votage is OK. Any help would be appreciated. |

| 380683 | 2005-08-13 01:34:00 | HI and welcome to PressF1. How many beeps does the computer make, are they short beeps, or long beeps, or both? What BIOS does your computer use (Award, Phoenix, AMI)? Do any error messages show up on the screen other than the Check Signal Cable? What are your computer specs please? Operating system, motherboard, CPU, onboard graphics or do you use a PCI, PCI-E, or AGP graphics card? etc etc Have you made any recent hardware changes? |

| 380684 | 2005-08-13 03:14:00 | Hi Taz The beeps are long,at even intervals,continuous. PC Co computer,Celeron 566,256 MB ram,Nvidia Vanta LT 8 MB AGP video card.The motherboard is Chaintech,with Award bios. Error messages-,a couple of times a message has come up saying that a file in the registry was 'corrupted' [or to that effect],and that windows would repair it which it did. Have recently replaced the cooling fan on the CPU,without disturbing the CPU and heatsink.Other than that,just the usual Windows and Norton updates. Regards |
