Deconding a Mobo Beep Sequence
Computer Stats
Make: eMachines Model: eMonster 600 Processor Speed: 600Mhz RAM: 512MB (Upgraded from 64MB) Yes yes, I know it's prehistoric, but it was serving its purpose to me, and I'd like to figure out what is wrong. When I turn on the computer, nothing shows up on this screen. After about 2 seconds, I hear this beep sequence. I have looked online for a beep sequence manual for this particular computer without any luck. From my searches, it appears to be associated with the BIOS version. However, I can't see what BIOS I have without being able to use my computer. Any suggestions? Here is the beep sequence: beep sequence.wav P.S. sorry the recording is so quiet, I don't have a mic so I had to use ear buds Jam it back in, in the dark. |

Sounds like a video issue.
BIOS Beep Codes Manual PC Hell: BIOS Error Beep Codes 8 beeps Video memory error. The BIOS cannot write to the frame buffer memory on the video card. I am presuming that the first two beeps are the normal start-up beeps. If not, then it gets worst as it's either the BIOS itself or the motherboard. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Post is always 1 beep. If you are hearing two short beeps, as from the PC Hell, it's showing the error on screen. But as you said, you have no video, so...
This is just my $0.02. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? WALK WITH THE DREAMERS,

Figured I'd make a follow-up post to say that a video card swap fixed the problem! Thanks guys!
I was speaking idiomatically. |
