sanjoa Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi, guys! When I put on my motherboard, BIOS starts making beeps and it does not finish. I think mother died, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 @José Matías Lemos:If your MOBO died, it wouldn't make a beep.The best thing you could do is remove the CMOS / BIOS battery for awhile, and remove peripheral components.If you have onboard graphics, then you can use it in place of your graphics card.

TheTwilightZone Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Also check your Memory, a continuous beep usally means problems with the RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted February 24, 2010 Administrator Share Posted February 24, 2010 Count how many beeps. Or full nonstop, no break beeps? Like beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........?Also don't forget to follow Biz advice. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanjoa Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 I've cleared CMOS twice. It starts like this "beep... beep... beep..." and it does not finish doing that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jofre Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi, guys! When I put on my motherboard, BIOS starts making beeps and it does not finish. I think mother died, what do you think?--------------------------------------------------------------------------If your Bios gives 3 short beeps := Your computer has memory problems. First check video. If video is working, you'll see an error message. If not, you have a parity error in your first 64K of memory. First check your SIMM's. Reseat them and reboot. If this doesn't do it, the memory chips may be bad. You can try switching the first and second banks memory chips. First banks are the memory banks that your CPU finds its first 64K of base memory in. You'll need to consult your manual to see which bank is first. If all your memory tests good, you probably need to buy another .~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~AMI (American Megatrends') BIOSBeep CodesMessageone short DRAM refresh failure (Problem with memory)two short Parity circuit failurethree short Base 64K RAM failurefour short System Timer failurefive short Processor failuresix short Keyboard Controller / Gate A20 failureseven short Virtual Mode Exception erroreight short Display Memory Read/Write failure (fault with video card)nine short ROM BIOS Checksum error (fault with BIOS chip)ten short CMOS Shutdown Read/Write erroreleven short Cache memoryone long Passed (no errors)one long, two short Video failureone long, three short Base / Extended Memory failureone long, eight short Display / Retrace Test failure...............................................................................................................................................................................AST Research BIOSBeep Codes Message one short Low level processor verification test failed (POST 1)two short Clearing keyboard controller buffers failed (POST 2)three short Keyboard controller reset failed (POST 3)four short Low level keyboard controller interface test (POST 4) five short Reading data from keyboard controller failed (POST 5) six short System board support chip initialization failed (POST 6)seven short Processor register read/write verify test failed (POST 7) eight short CMOS timer initialization failed (POST 8) nine short ROM BIOS checksum test failed (POST 9) ten short Initialize primary video (POST 10) eleven short 8254 timer channel 0 test failed (POST 11) twelve short 8254 timer channel 1 test failed (POST 12) thirteen short 8254 timer channel 2 test failed (POST 13) fourteen short CMOS power-on and time test failed (POST 14) fifteen short CMOS shutdown byte test failed (POST 15) one long DMA channel 0 test failed (POST 16)one long, one short DMA channel 1 test failed (POST 17) one long, two short DMA page register test failed (POST 18) one long, three short Keyboard controller interface test failed (POST 19) one long, four short Memory refresh toggle test failed (POST 20) one long, five short First 64 KB memory test failed (POST 21) one long, six short Setup interrupt vector table failed (POST 22) one long, seven short Video initialization failed (POST 23) one long, eight short Video memory test failed (POST 24) .............................................................................................................................................................................................................Award BIOS Beep CodesMessage one short Passed (no errors) two short Any non-fatal error one long, two short Video failure one long, three short Keyboard Controller failure (applies to 286, 386 and 486) ...........................................................................................................................................................................................................Compaq BIOSBeep CodesMessage one short Indicates that the system is booting properlytwo short General BIOS error -
