They say that one long beep is a faulty or improperly installed CPU. According to this, a display error (video card or monitor) is one long and two short beeps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20920539 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 15:36:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20920310 Fishead1 : It beeps once but seems to not go any further.It doesn't sound like the HDS are kicking in.There is no display of any kind showing on the monitor.
Its an ABIT motherboard.It has a small digital display that can be looked at for POST codes but doesn't show any code that makes sense.
I would try to throw in a a new graphics card but don't have any I can use and really don't have the money to get one.It would have to wait till I could save up for one.
If I remove the video card will it still display something on the monitor without the video card?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20920310 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 14:51:31 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20919539 Margolis : If it beeps, it IS posting. Power On Self Test. You have to decode what the test beeps mean like ken225 said, or solve it thru the process of elimination. If you still have your motherboard manual it may have the beepcodes listed.

So what is the problem exactly? Does it shut down right after post? does it just not boot into windows? Can you not see any display at all even though everything seems to be powering up?

If you have power to circuitry and it's beeping, turn it on and wait for the length of time that your normal boot sequence takes and watch the hd lights and listen to the fans. You might be able to tell if it's just something in the video card that way. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20919539 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 12:25:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20915009 ken225 : Those beeps are codes that should tell you what part is failing. Each bios has its own set of codes. To find out what codes you have, just enter the name of your motherboard followed by "beep codes" into google. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20915009 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:30:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20914624 Fishead1 : Yes it beeps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20914624 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:25:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20912541 lostinms : When you turn your pc on do you hear a Beep or any beep from it? If you don't it could be your motherboard I got 2 pc here that the motherboards went bad. If you do hear a beep then it is more likely your video card.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20912541 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:27:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20908165 Margolis : Like RevMortis said, remove almost everything. Including the keyboard and mouse also. See if it posts.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20908165 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:48:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20907560 RevMortis : Could still be the PS.

Try removing Everything except the core (MB, PS, CPU, 1 stick of Memory).

Power up with a known good wall socket... Bypass the brick.

If you get spinup, You fried one of the electronics.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20907560 Wed, 06 Aug 2008 11:01:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20902816 Fishead1 : I have an AMD PC I built about 3 or 4 years ago.It is not posting at all.My display is a DELL 24 inch wide angle display.I checked the display on a another PC and that is fine.
it all started when my air conditoner was not working from its own outlet.As it was getting very hot at that time I took the AC unit and put it on my PC power brick.It worked fine for about 20 mins but blew the circuit breaker after the 20 mins so I reset the circuit break and everything was fine again.I did this about4 or 5 times and then the last time it wouldn't boot or POST at all.
The PC is getting power it seems. I'm using a PC Power&Cooling 500 watt power supply.
Where should I start looking for problem?BIOS?Graphics card?
I will try to get any info if asked.
I can't take trying to run a Pentium 450 while I try to fix this one. :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20902816 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 13:12:33 EDT
