or generate a beep code that tells the user the source of the problem. If your american megatrends error codes computer has an irregular POST or a beep code not mentioned below, follow the POST troubleshooting steps to determine the failing hardware component.

IBM BIOS beep codes Below are general IBM BIOS Beep codes that can occur. However, because of the wide variety of models shipping with this BIOS, the beep codes may vary. Beep Code Description No Beeps No Power, Loose Card, or Short. 1 Short Beep Normal POST,
is first switched on or reset, it performs a special diagnostic test called a POST (Power-On Self Test). To check http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/post-beep-codes.htm 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 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 error codes card. When a device fails 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 troublesome component. After the video has been tested successfully the BIOS will then post error codes 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 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 - Ba
