Thanks in advance

Hello

In most cases the BIOS beeps are the result of the problem of the motherboard.
It is hard to say what role could be affected on the motherboard.
But here is the page that provides some information on the BIOS beep codes:
http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

You don't have many options; what you can do is to test/remove the RAM.
Maybe that RAM is defective otherwise it mother associated s pass and in this case the motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • My Equium A300D freezes at BIOS

    Someone help with this one?

    My Equium A300d froze in the Bios boot screen. Finally, I have replaced the ram and hard drive but still the same problem. By trial and error I discovered that the problem was the dvd drive... Remove the system and it loads well, put in place in and from the gel to the bios!

    I replaced the dvd drive wiith a new compatible drive but same result so assume the real hardware is not the problem then can only assume a motherboard problem?

    Has anyone encountered this scenario? Thanks for the research.

    It's really strange question. What version of BIOS is on your computer?

    If I understand you well without ODD your laptop starts properly and preinstalled operating system can be loaded.

    Have you tried to implement ODD when Windows is fully charged?

  • Beep codes Equium M50-192

    Hello

    I have a laptop Equium M50-192, who decided to stop working.

    I get 4 short beeps when I turn it on. The power led lights and fans start but the screen does nothing.

    Where can I find beep codes mean?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what could be wrong. Beep codes usually appear because the computer MESSAGE fails.
    If the Unit falls down the POST (Power on self test) beep code indicates which is originally the laptop does not pass the POST.
    The problem is that the bee codes are not standard and each BIOS provides different meanings of postcodes!

    As far as I know your device was shipped with Phoenix BIOS if you can try to google a bit for the Phoenix BIOS post codes.

    However, for most hardware failure is responsible for these problems. You can try to check the functionality of memory modules.
    Remove the simple modules and check if some of the memory fails.

  • Question about BIOS beep codes

    Difficulty locating the BIOS beep codes... can anyone help? I get 3-3-1...

    Hello

    I found a list of some BIOS beep codes but to be honest I m do not know if this can help you:
    [BIOS beep codes: http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm]
    ]
    The problem is that the BIOS beep codes are different and not all BIOS provides the meaning of the code.

    In my opinion only the authorized service provider can help you know what this code means.

    Why such a code beep appear?
    Well, the BIOS beep code if the POST (Power On Self Test) fails.
    Most of the Power On Self Test impossible to successfully because of the failure of hardware; for example, motherboard problem.

  • P50/P70 BIOS beep codes

    Does anyone have the BIOS beep codes for the P50/P70 Thinkpads? Almost everytime I start mine beeps at me.

    3 short beeps, pause, 1 beep, pause, 1 beep, pause, 3 short beeps.

    I called tech support and they wanted me to uninstall the RAM I added after I got the system, or they want to send me the computer to replace the RAM and the system. I do not think that those who are the problem, however. After he gets a beep, it loads well every time. Lenovo solutions Centre zero errors with my system. No problem with processor, chipset and memory. Windows recognizes all 32GB of my RAM when it loads as well.

    Any ideas? I'm disinclined to send my system back because otherwise it usually seems to work OK.

    A 3-1-1-3 beep code heard at the start after change of memory reserved Thunderbolt from 1 GB to 2 GB in the Setup of the BIOS indicates a lack of PCI memory resources. After the beep, BIOS allows you to adjust the resource memory PCI allocated to love at first sight, then automatically restarts the system.

    Please note that Lenovo recommends running a 64-bit instead of 32-bit Windows operating system when you use the Thunderbolt of 2 GB of memory reserved parameter.

    In the setting of several screens or other devices to the Garland of Thunderbolt, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 2 GB to the BIOS Setup and deal with the 3-1-1-3 model beep to restart the computer after changing the configuration of the BIOS as successful confirmation of change the BIOS POST.

    When you attach a monitor or a couple of other devices, Lenovo recommends the use of the resource of memory of 1 GB in BIOS Setup.

  • Equium A300D - after updating the BIOS screen is empty

    Hi, I did a bios update on my Equium A300D-PSAK2E and its bricks of my laptop! When it restarts after update screen is empty!

    Is there a a sort of way to launch a recovery of bios by pressing certain keys on the power on the image of the bios on a USB?

    Kind regards

    Dan

    Hi Dan,.

    Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do if the BIOS update gone wrong... In this case the ROM module must be reflashed to an authorized service because guys have special tools to do this process delicate reflash.

    FatherDal wrote: Dear Hanspuppa, thank you very much for your help.  Actions suggested by your response seems to have solved my problem.

    Hello FatherDal, it's really good news. If you have determined that your system has at least one memory defective Strip, and you want to replace the defective module, you can consider replacing all the memory modules and purchase of some additional memory that can increase the performance of your system.

    Here is the link to the specifications for your system. It shows that your system shipped with 2 GB of memory system.

    It also shows the system supports up to 4 GB of memory system and your system shipped with Vista x 86 (32 bit).

    All 32-bit operating systems can only recognize up to 3.25 GB to 3.5 GB of memory. The x 64 bit version can recognize 4 GBs whole memory system.

    I would say that the upgrade of your system memory to 4 GB into 4 X 1 GB modules. Even if your current operating system would recognize the 4 GBs set of system memory, you should see a performance increase with additional memory.

    Here is the memory critical link where you can buy compatible memory for your Compaq system.

  • Equium A60 will not start - get a beep code

    Hello

    This laptop has problems with ATI (even those included on the recovery disk) display drivers. He created a blue screen on a dll file.

    After reading around, I found that it was recommended to upgrade the bios, after going to the appropriate section of the Web site, I downloaded the flash tool from windows for the laptop bios.

    I ran and it opened, returned to the laptop and the screen is blank, a blue ring around the power button is on, but no display.

    I left it for a period of time see if it would to restart or something, but nothing has happened, it would not be the button turn off so I unplugged the power and removed the battery.

    To again turn on the laptop, it only stays on for about 3 seconds then turns off again.
    I get the beep code: short break, Long, short break, beep, beep beep, then it turns off.
    The caps lock and numlock keys are turned on.

    Hello

    Well, unfortunately for me it looks like a hardware failure.
    Maybe the motherboard is broken.
    These problems may occur if you use a bad BIOS or the incorrect BIOS update procedure.

    Please check this document FAQ How to upgrade the BIOS:
    IOS http://eu.Computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/FAQ.jsp?z=234&service=eu&from=faq_selection&CFID=B & FID = TRO0000000b07

    Unfortunately if there is something wrong with the hardware you should ask Toshiba service for assistance.

  • HP Compaq D220 mobo POST, just beep codes...

    Well, it's really frusturating. I thought that I would have figured this out now. I turn on the motherboard, and I get 5 short beeps, a pause, then 5 more and so on...

    I tried Googling the model mobo (Lite-on NR138) and there is no record anywhere, I know it's old, but even the HP Compaq D220 page is void of any useful information. No specification page. And the 'upgrade and migration' page is a dead link.

    It would help me a lot to know what the beep codes mean, but it would be useful also to know if BIOS this motherboard only recognises
    some steppings, because I already tried 3 different processors. Two of them with B0 stepping and a C1 stepping.

    The first CPU I tried was SL68Q (1.8 Ghz, 512 K, 400 Mhz) there were 5 beeps.
    Then I tried SL6LC, with c1 stepping (2.0 Ghz, 128 K, 400 Mhz) it did not work at all, I don't even have the beep codes. (Not surprising, I think it's Fried).
    Finally, I tried SL66Q which is identical to the first (1.8 Ghz, 512 K, 400 Mhz) it has also resulted in 5 beeps.

    And Yes, I have excluded from the RAM, I tried 2 DIMM different (the two work in other systems). So I'm convinced it's a CPU problem.
    Any comments would be appreciated, especially if you have this mobo and have updated the CPU.

    ERICO, thanks for the suggestions.

    Problem solved!

    The RAM card was loose on one end, and after pressing it with all my strength, click on it. I was sure that it was not the RAM, because I had tried several cards, different slot machines even (but they never wanted to click). In this particular mobo slots are all that I've seen the difference. The grooves are short, so the modules look like they are sitting on the top of the Golden Groove contacts. It takes a lot of strength to their seat correctly.

    That this should be a lesson for me and others, that it is always a good idea to triple- check each strip memory and be very sure that they are not stirring, or tilted. The tabs on each side must click by themselves.

    The Council is an American Megatrends Inc. Model [FRIEND] NR-138. (No Fujitsu, or Lite-On). It is brand HP, but has an AMI BIOS, not Phoenix / Award. It recognizes the processors that I tested previously. He took AGP, Audio and LAN. The chipset is Intel 845GV.

    So in summary, five 5 short beeps of this Council is equal to "RAM not detected."

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Equium A300D - 13 X laptop, everytime I turn on my laptop it starts and loads the initial startup screen as usual, Toshiba once asked that loud "BEEP" comes from my laptop, and lists the following information:

    I replaced the hard drive and flashed the BIOS settings as advised by Toshiba Helpline but the problem persists.

    Help, please! because the "BEEP" is now getting on my nerves!

    See you soon

    Hi andrew_net82,

    It seems that the BIOS has detected an error with a certain part of material...

    Before doing something I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. If you are in the BIOS Setup, press the F9 key.

    If it doesn t work you need for professional assistance from an authorized service I think. Guys need to check which part of the material is defective and must be replaced.
    List of the ASP, you can find on the official website of Toshiba.

  • Equium A300D - 16 c. do not start after his stop.

    Please, it is a problem that I seem to not understand. I used my laptop Equium A300d - 16 c with no problems for over a year until last night. I was installing a software (nokia PC suite) that you are prompted to restart the computer. the closure was normal and so he could restart, was a problem. It displays nothing but a screen empty. It is obvious it does not start as when I press the power button it goes immediately. Only the power led is on. Another thing I notice is that the DVD-ROM reads any disk placed inside, but there is no display of any kind.

    My first reaction was that it may be overheating, so I cleaned the vents and amazed the dust of all compartments. but the problem still persists. Please, I want to know what may be the problem before you take it for repairs. Need help. Thank you.

    It is not easy to explain exactly why this happens, but I would like to know if you see something on the screen when you turn on your laptop.
    See Toshiba welcome screen?
    You can enter the BIOS settings?

  • Satellite A200 - beep code unknown

    Hey guys,.

    Got an A200 m01 (I think) of 2008, who last night decided to no boot. He makes before the BIOS screen, but when at Windows startup, the screen turns off and beeps continuous (and infinite) (kind of pulse). Now, I can't find anything on Insyde BIOS, but the common continuous beep is a RAM error. I was hoping that this would be the case (although I realize posting is completed before the BIOS splash screen is displayed and so I am at a loss as to what she is ACATUALLY), but to remove a RAM module the system only gives me a BIOS beep code! What the hell!

    And no amount of Googling got me closer to resolve this. I'm a poor student, so I can't afford to bring to a repairer of computer for them to charge me $80 to say its dead, so if anyone has any information I would be very grateful!

    Thank you

    Taylor

    Hey Taylor,

    I think the problem is that only an authorized service provider knows the exact beep codes and their reasons so that you can t find much in the Internet.

    Of course such a problem is a little annoying but you re right, theoretically it could be a RAM problem. As I understand, a single module of RAM is installed on your computer, right?
    Have you already tested the module in a different RAM slot? Theoretically the slot memory could be faulty also.

    In addition you can test the RAM itself module using software special test than Memtest86. It s freeware tools that you can find with Google. Simply create a bootable disc and boot of it. The test will start but it can take up to an hour or more until he finished s.

    Maybe Memtest86 will find something but let's wait what happens if comments would be great. :)

  • Compaq Presario SR2010NX beep code error starting: longbeeppausecontinuinglongbeepspausebetweeneach

    Hello.  My Compaq Presario Desktop PC SR2010NX of 2006 began just not start.  It gives me a sound code of long beeps that accompany pause after each beep and continue indefinitely.  I have tried convenience cheques, and it looks as if it was the 'memory '.  My question, FEI's memory, what cards are hardware compatible with my PC.  I had a breakdown.    to install a new set of 2 GB cards in July - and I had technicians immediately reinstall my old 2 cards (issued factory) replacement cards they have advised me to buy are not compatible, and when I went to pick up my computer, the computer would not start.  I have askede to reinstall my old cards and the computer booted suceesfully, and I left the store!  I am sure that I do not know what new products could be compatible with my old PC.  I thhink 4 GB is too myuch for my computer, and he couldn't get half that - but what brand should be like new hardwrae?  I wasn't expecting my old cards fail when they were resettled - three months since the change of memory attempt - thre months they started normally.  They have been re-hurriedly harnessed and dismissed the case, and then I left the store.  (The tech threatedned me with fear of "motherboard failure", which just made get the computer and leave immediately.  The old cards cannot have been relocated safely.  I'm taking it - but I will not be pushed around.  Of course - as old as mine PC would gradually motherboard failure.  Until it fails.  It was the memory card, but what woud cards my PC take that would be accepted as new hardware and allow my PC to boot up normally, if it is the cards and not yet the motherboard?

    I have now read the post with indicator on the upgrade memory.  It was very useful, and I wrote notes for the Presario.

    It says, maximusmis 2 GB to 1 GB cards/no stamped with the form of the data of motherboard page.

    It is divided between 2 cards 512 MB factory.  It has only 2 slots.

    Thank you.  My Compaq desktop computer has grown on me.  I got Vista bfore and I didn't know what I think.  If it can be repaired, I think 8 years (purchase date 4 November 2006) were fun for the low-end model.  It was a good choice, and I have never regretted buying at what cost.  It was better than expected.

    I haven't used my Compaq Presario continually over the past eight years - that's why it lasted so long!  Dud ut do work, however.  I had retirement is put online last year

    I liked HP Photosmart first 6.5 photo editing.  I liked Wordpad.  Mechanically, it was scientifically.  The material began to go when the built-in CD/DVD internal drive has failed.  I bought and had a replacement (DVD player (cd) internal HP) installed in July 2014.

    The new internal DVD writer HP compatible service pack XP? I have SP2) - I don't think it's about compatible new material.  This caused unable to start new businesses after three months?  New feature of device recognistion and old motherboard? Don't know?  (short circuit)?  I left the old CD/DVD recorder factory in its case - it's there and the springs are working to open and close the casing and check it / A short?  Don't know anything about electric

    Another point, when the original memory card 512 MB on factory 2 cards have been resettled, he was press-technicians to get the computer to boot - so the computer's case has been closed.   (I took the PC on their part awqay as fast it was closed upward).  I thought safe in maintaining clips?  Maybe not securely harnessed.  Could also be from the old factory of 512 memory cards in each clip spare wedge - to alternate which card and which support clip.  I have not tried this or re-cutting to the place of repair.  (I do not have any technical installation and not have ny contact danger here - I do not touch the computer).  It is the matter of repair - these people in a hurry, they sell - they tell you something will work, they overtest, they overdiagnose - they push you autour-yyou never recover your computer to use as is - it is disturbing to go, if you are not a consumer savvy or technical.

    May not be able to take new material old = change motherboard in chipsets, etcs. features.

    Ialso had an error saying years only. IPC Port would not work.  (. COMI is the base model for the CPA called Palm Zire Hotsync Manager.  I don't think the Palm Zire software uninstalled iI, and the message is a (!) origin unknown error message is:. COMI, has failed to initialize.  It's a pop-up error message appeared during the startup process.  The repair people off the message.  The boot has been at once - disconnect - the plugin twice and electric start.  It was based on the plug in the socket, removed and reconnected before the start =.  Technicians tried to solve this problem, but it is not important from my point of view.  All of those, cumulatively, could be symptoms of a hardware change progressive until the end of the use of PC - they are all could be chips card mother falling out or something there (the CD player, the.) Port COMI - don't know about the real, even if start program - which can only be that.)

    I tried the power reset function discussed in the Troubleshooting Online Web pages - 5 seconds to reset, / 15 seconds to reset - power off (unplugged) and hold the power button / stop without plug-in for 5 or 15 seconds (depends on the Web page of the online manual!)  Once, after an attempt to reset of fifteen seconds, the computer has no beep, and he almost made a second rumble noise - but then no change afterwards.  The redonnee start-up sound code beep after that the computer was turned off and then restarted again.

    PC is sitting in his corner.  I don't want someone break while I think about what to do.  He's going nowhere right now.

    This is the first time, it would not start.  I am a bit worried and disappointed, but, I know that my PC is old, and one day, it will fail to work.  That is the reality.  If it fi fixable, I'm interested to hear about the fit-it.  Thanks again.

    Hello @lliil,

    I read what you posted and it seems that you have a hardware problem with your computer. The only thing I can do for you is to provide you with the HP support document: BIOS Beep Codes, which will help you to correctly identify what's wrong with your computer. Given the age of the computer apart from this if you want to know if it can be fixed, I recommend do you get into a local computer repair shop and let them take a look.

    I hope I helped. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • T60 will not boot receive the beep code 1-3-4-3 any suggestions on what this might be?

    Hi guys,.

    My T60, does not start all of a sudden. I can't access the BIOS. I received the following beep sequence: 1-3-4-3.

    I looked around and got as a message for phoenix BIOS beep code 'Test 512 K base memory '. Anyone has an explanation, and I should do or change?

    Thanks a lot for your support!

    Antoine

    I don't have one of them, but if it's a mistake of memory, the best way to test is to substitute known good memory. If you have two SODIMM modules installed, remove them and install one at the time and the test.

    Sometimes remove and reset of memory are sufficient to solve the problem.

    If this does not help, a good 'generic' method that I use on all laptops with a no boot situation is to remove all the drives and cards, then see if it will boot to the BIOS, or post at all. I've seen poor readers force a system not to post, so remove everything that is not required will be an easy way to identify the cause. Usually, if it will not always display, you'll have a system board failure.

  • Pavilion xt412 beep codes

    Hi all

    I have a Pavilion xt412 laptop running Windows XP Home.  Windows started to plant and I have to reboot so I thought I would update the BIOS until I reinstalled Windows.

    Insofar as I saw the BIOS update went without any problems.  When the laptop is to restart all I get beep codes.  All the lights are on (without ceiling or NumLock turned on) but all I hear is 1 beep, 3 beeps, 3 beeps and then 1 beep.

    It's all the Tweets, I hear.  No video display at all, no POST I can say.  I hear the fans and hard drive power.

    I tried the reset button (on the bottom of the laptop) and the Start button / reset.  I even deleted and reinstalled the memory, but nothing helped.

    How can I get my laptop start again?

    Thanks for any help,

    Charles

    Hi all

    I wanted to know all that I solved the problem.  Turns out that memory was the problem.  I installed different memory and the laptop runs.

    Strange that the memory that used to work would fail after a BIOS update.

    Thank you
