Many popular motherboard manufacturers have integrated AMI's AMIBOS into their systems.Other motherboard manufacturers have created custom BIOS software based on the AMIBIOS http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/amibeep.htm system. The beep codes from an AMIBIOS-based BIOS may be exactly the same as the true AMIBIOS beep codes below or they may vary slightly. You can always reference your motherboard's manual if you think this might be an issue.Note: AMIBIOS beep codes are short, sound in quick succession, and usually sound immediately after powering on the PC. 1 Beep A single beep from an AMI based BIOS http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/ami-beep-codes.htm means there has been a memory refresh timer error. The solution is often to replace the RAM in the computer. 2 Beeps Two beeps means there has been a parity error in base memory. This is an issue with the first 64KB block of memory in your RAM. The solution is usually to replace the memory. 3 Beeps Three beeps means there has been a base memory read/write test error. Replacing the RAM usually solves this AMI beep code. 4 Beeps Four beeps means that the motherboard timer is not working properly. A hardware failure with an expansion card or the motherboard itself could be the cause of this beep code. 5 Beeps Five beeps means there has been a processor error. A damaged expansion card, the CPU, or the motherboard could be prompting this AMI beep code. 6 Beeps Six beeps means that there has been an 8042 Gate A20 test error. This beep code is usually caused by an expansion card that has failed or the motherboard that is no longer working. 7 Beeps Seven beeps indicates a general exception error. This AMI beep code could be caused by an expansion card problem, a motherboard hardware issue, or a

Started by Justa , Feb 01 2009 09:16 AM Please log in to reply 7 replies to this topic #1 Justa Justa Members 221 posts OFFLINE Gender:Male Location:Texas Local time:11:13 PM Posted 01 February 2009 - 09:16 AM AMI lists 1 short beep as a DRAM refresh failure.http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#04So during a normal boot on a machine with AMI BIOS you would hear no beep or would you expect to still expect to hear one short beep from the motherboard check? And if you had a DRAM refresh failure would you hear one short beep or one short beep followed by another short beep during the boot process?My confusion came when I saw a post yesterday from a member who had a laptop that did not beep prior to having boot problems and then after having problems he stated that he had a beep.Thanks Back to top BC AdBot (Login to Remove) BleepingComputer.com Register to remove ads #2 Axegrinder Ax
