But, if the failure occurred before the BIOS could access the video card, the BIOS will issue special beep codes to alert the user to the problem.In this article, I'll take a detailed look at the beeps that are issued by various BIOS manufacturers, and I'll provide you with a resource for more detailed information. Understanding these noises will allow you to troubleshoot a multitude of hardware problems.Annoying noises, flashing lightsDuring a POST session, your computer has several ways to communicate: Either through flashing indicator lights, the computer's speaker, or via the monitor.

Cards are available for either bus and typically contain one or
