E.g. 1-1-2 would mean 1 beep, a pause, 1 beep, a pause, and 2 test 51k base memory error beeps. With a Dell computer, a 1-2 beep code can also indicate that a bootable add-in card is installed but no boot device is phoenix award bios beep codes attached. For example, in you insert a Promise Ultra-66 card but do not connect a hard drive to it, you will get the beep code. I verified this with a SIIG (crap -- avoid like the plague) Ultra-66 card, and then

04, 2016 PhoenixBIOS is a kind of BIOS manufactured by Phoenix Technologies. A majority of modern motherboard manufacturers have integrated Phoenix Technologies' PhoenixBIOS into their systems.Several custom implementations of the PhoenixBIOS http://www.bioscentral.com/beepcodes/phoenixbeep.htm system exist in many popular motherboards. The beep codes from a Phoenix-based BIOS may be exactly the same as the true Phoenix beep codes below or they may vary. You can always check your motherboard manual to be sure.Note: PhoenixBIOS beep codes are short, sound in quick succession, and usually sound immediately after powering on the PC. 1 Beep Laura Harker/EyeEm/Getty Images A single http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/phoenix-beep-codes.htm beep from a Phoenix based BIOS is actually an "all systems clear" notification. Technically, it's an indication that the Power On Self Test is complete. No troubleshooting necessary! 1 Continuous Beep One continuous beep isn't an officially listed Phoenix beep code but I know of several instances of this occurring. In at least one case, the solution was to reseat the CPU. 1 Short Beep, 1 Long Beep One short beep followed by one long beep also isn't an officially listed Phoenix beep code but two readers have let me know about this one. In both cases, the problem was bad RAM which replacing obviously solved. 1 Long Beep, 2 Short Beeps One long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that there has been a checksum error. This means that there is some kind of motherboard issue. Replacing the motherboard should fix this problem. 1-1-1-1 Beep Code Pattern Technically, a 1-1-1-1 beep code pattern doesn't exist but I've seen it and many readers have too. Most often, it's a problem with the system memory. This Phoenix BIOS issue is usually corrected by replacing the RAM. 1-2-2-3 Beep
is first switched on or reset, it performs a special diagnostic test called a POST (Power-On Self Test). To check all of the components in the PC, the POST program sends out a signal to each device initialising each device's built-in self-test http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/post-beep-codes.htm procedure. advertisement The POST test is a two stage process, first it will check all of the basic components including amongst other things, the system clock, the processor, RAM, the keyboard controller and the video card. When a device fails http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/archive/index.php/t-61277.html the first part of the POST the BIOS will send a series of beeps from the PC's speaker (internal) to inform the PC user that there is a problem. These beeps are coded allowing the user to diagnose the beep codes troublesome component. After the video has been tested successfully the BIOS will then display any errors encountered on the screen. The error message will be either a numeric code or a text message. When the POST has been completed successfully the PC will make a short beep to let the user know everything is as it should be. Below are some common beep codes for AMI and Phoenix BIOS. AMI BIOS error beep codes 1 Beep - Memory Refresh bios beep codes Failure (check memory) 2 Beeps - Memory Parity Error in first 64KB block (check memory) 3 Beeps - Memory Read/Write Error in first 64KB block (check memory) 4 Beeps - Motherboard timer not functioning (possible motherboard replacement) 5 Beeps - Processor Error (may need replacement Processor) 6 Beeps - Gate A20/keyboard controller failure (possible motherboard replacement) 7 Beeps - Processor Exception Interrupt Error (may need replacement Processor) 8 Beeps - Display Memory Read/Write Failure (reseat or replace video card) 9 Beeps - ROM checksum Error (replace BIOS chip or motherboard) 10 Beeps - CMOS shutdown Read/Write error (possible motherboard replacement) 11 Beeps - Bad Cache Memory - test failed (replace cache memory) Phoenix BIOS error beep codes Phoenix BIOS beep codes are a series of beeps separated by a pause, for example: beep --- beep beep --- beep --- beep beep would be 1-2-1-2 1-1-4-1 - Cache Error (level 2) 1-2-2-3 - BIOS ROM Checksum 1-3-1-1 - DRAM Refresh Test 1-3-1-3 - Keyboard controller test 1-3-4-1 - RAM Failure on address line xxxx (check memory) 1-3-4-3 - RAM Failure on data bits xxxx of low byte of memory bus 1-4-1-1 - RAM Failure on data bits xxxx of high byte of memory bus 2-1-2-3 - ROM copyright notice 2-2-3-1 - Test for unexpected interrupts AWARD BIOS error beep codes There are 2 main beep codes for the Award BIOS: one long beep and two short be
( no problem to start up the computer) I have the computer checked out by computer shop (I have also run the memory test for 7 hours, not error appear)but the 1 long beep noise still there. Can anyone help to sort out this one beep problem? Gigabye 81915P Duo Pro motherboard. P4 3.2ghz CPU 1g DDR2 Ram Gigabye NX66T128VP PCI-E graphic card 120g h/d Thank you. lazydog31-08-2005, 12:08 AMI saved a txt file to my comper concerning Beep codes. I'll copy and paste it below. It's mainly for older computers but It maybe of help to you?....... What is a BIOS Beep Code? When you power on a computer the BIOS immediately takes control of the computer and performs the P.O.S.T (Power On Self Test). At the end of the POST the computer will play an audible 'BEEP' through either the PC's internal speaker of through speakers attached to the sound card (if you have a built-in sound chip). If the POST completed successfully without detecting any problems with then system will play a single short beep to let you know the test is complete and the computer will continue to startup and load the operating system. If during the POST the BIOS detects a problem it will normally display a visual error message on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before the BIOS initializes the video card, or a video card is not present or not detected then the BIOS will play several 'BEEPS' through the speaker to let you know there is a problem. Depending on the type of the BIOS you have the BIOS may play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or play the same beep a number of times indicating the problem. It is very important that you pay close attention to the number and/or pattern of the beeps your computer plays on startup. Below is a table of the most common AMI, Phoenix and Award BIOS beep codes. AMI (American Megatrends International) BIOS Beep Codes. AMI BIOS uses beeps of the same length and pitch. The error is displayed as a number of beeps. For example, 4 beeps indicated a timer failure. BEEP CODE MEANING POSSIBLE CAUSE 1 Beep (No video) Memory refresh failure Bad memory 2 Beeps Memory parity error Bad memory 3 Beeps Base 64K mem failure Bad memory 4 Beeps Timer not operational Bad motherboard 5 Beeps Processor error Bad processor 6 B
