Any ideas much appriciated. Steve More about : continuous bios beep booting truromeo4juliet December 8, 2007 1:29:14 PM First, you should post your system specs, including PSU wattage... Second, take it to bone stock... motherboard, cpu, ram... boot it... record results motherboard, cpu, ram, video card... bios beep codes asus boot it... record results motherboard, cpu, ram, video card, hard drive... boot it... record results if all the above check out, then start adding your PCI cards... post your conclusion here steve0410 December 8, 2007 2:16:09 PM PC Spec:- Case = Antec 900 Motherboard = GA-P35-DS3R CPU = Q6600 with Freezer Pro 7 cooler RAM = 2GB Ram 667MHZ (Kingston) PSU = 620W Corsair GPU = 320MB Geforce 8800 GTS superclocked Harddrive = two Wester Digital SATA2 250GB (WD250AAKS) DVD = two Samsung SH-S203B DVDRW Test Results: Motherboard + CPU + RAM = 1 short beep then 2 short (closer together), then continuous Motherboard + CPU + RAM + Video Card = 2 short (different tones) then continuous Motherboard + CPU + RAM + Video Card + Hard Drive = Continuous interupted by 1 short then continuous again Related resources No BIOS/POST - Forum System won't boot, no bios or beep but CPU fan is on. - Forum New Build Won't POST, Power Fluctuating BIOS freezing - Forum PC suddenly not booting / no display (<6months old) - Forum Can't boot up or even see BIOS - Forum Can't find your answer ?

are hearing from the list in the index frame. 1 Beep: DRAM refresh failure Explanation: The system is having a problem accessing the system memory to refresh it. Refreshing is gigabyte beep codes done on all system memory to keep its contents active. Diagnosis: This code usually hp bios beep codes means a problem either with the system memory or with the motherboard itself. Recommendation: Troubleshoot the motherboard. Treat as an apparent computer beep codes list memory failure. 2 Beeps: Parity circuit failure Explanation: The parity circuit is responsible for generating and checking the parity bit on the system memory when parity checking is used. This circuitry is not working http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/247100-31-continuous-bios-beep-booting properly. Diagnosis: This code usually means a problem with either the system memory or the motherboard. Recommendation: Treat as an apparent memory failure. Troubleshoot the motherboard. 3 Beeps: Base 64K RAM failure Explanation: There is a failure of some sort within the first 64 KB of system memory. Diagnosis: The first bank of memory probably has a bad memory chip in it somewhere. It is possible that there is a http://brebru.com/beepcodes.html failure related to the motherboard or a system device as well. Recommendation: Treat as an apparent memory failure. Troubleshoot the motherboard. 4 Beeps: System timer failure Explanation: There is a problem with one or more of the timers used by the system to control functions on the motherboard. Diagnosis: This is usually a motherboard failure. Recommendation: Troubleshoot the motherboard. 5 Beeps: Processor failure Explanation: The system processor is generating an error condition indicating a problem with it. Diagnosis: There is a problem related to the processor or motherboard. Note that this doesn't mean that the processor is necessarily dead; with a dead processor the system won't boot at all (it runs the BIOS code that is used to start up the PC.) Recommendation: Troubleshoot the processor. If the processor is not at fault, troubleshoot the motherboard. 6 Beeps: Keyboard controller / gate A20 failure Explanation: The keyboard controller is a chip on the motherboard that communicates with your keyboard. It also controls the A20 gate that provides access to the high memory area (HMA). This component is indicating a failure. Diagnosis: This is usually a problem with either the keyboard or the motherboard. Recommendation: Troubleshooting the keyboard is relatively easy; try that first. Troubleshoot the keyboard co

Three beeps: Base 64K RAM failureProblem: There is a failure within the first 64K of memory.Solution: Troubleshoot the motherboard and/or the RAM. Four beeps: System Timer FailureProblem: One or more of the system timers on the motherboard has failed; usually indicates motherboard failure.Solution: Troubleshoot the motherboard. You may need to replace it. Five beeps: Processor FailureProblem: The processor is generating an error condition. This does not mean that the processor is not working--with a dead processor, the computer won't boot at all.Solution: Check if the processor is overheating, and whether it is set correctly on the motherboard. Troubleshoot the motherboard. Six beeps: Keyboard controller or gate A20 failureProblem: Keyboard, keyboard controller or motherboard error.Solution: Check if the keyboard is connected properly.
