Machine sounds a different number of dings whenever I start windows

The system is DELL Precision 3410 Quad Core Intel with 8 GB of RAM running Win7 with Virtual Windows XP installed. Norton Internet Security is installed as well as many other applications.  Machine is one of the two machines of Win7 on a home LAN that has NAS and a network attached printer.

Some time after entering the password user, but until all applications are running, my machine rings several bells. Most often, these are six bells/bumps at a steady pace. Other times it's five bell/ringing followed by a pause and then two bells/bumps in quick succession. Rare opportunity, without bells/ringing sound and sometimes there are as much a ten bells/ringing.

It seems to me that the machine is telling me that some program doesn't load properly, but I don't know how to say what mean the different sounds.

Substantially the same software is loaded on a DELL optiplex 7010 Quad Core Intel with 4 GB of RAM.  It never rang a Bell / ding at startup.

Need the bells / ringing mean?

Hello

This problem is due to several reasons as follows:

a. 6 beeps if there is no keyboard controller failure.

b. 5 beeps if there is no failure of the process.

c. 2 beeps if there is no parity circuit failure.

Before you continue with the troubleshooting steps, I would like to know some information about this problem.

1. are you able to boot to the desktop with success?

2. do you have the question started recently?

3. have you connected external devices other than the keyboard and mouse?

4. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

Here in this scenario, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it works for you.

Method 1:

Make sure the keyboard (keyboard, check if all the external devices are connected properly, not only) is properly connected. Try to disconnect and reconnect the keyboard (not only keyboard, try this for all external devices). If this is not enough, then try to connect to another keyboard and check.

Method 2:

If you are able to boot to the desktop, then run the Memory Diagnostic tool and check if that helps.

See the following Microsoft Help article to run the Memory Diagnostic tool.

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer

If the problem persists, then it would be best to contact Dell support for further help on this issue. As this could be a problem with the hardware.

Please reply with the status of the issue so that we can better help you.

  • System32 folder opens whenever I start windows.

    I have a seven year old desktop computer.  He had to undergo some repairs of equipment and I had to re - install everything from scratch.  The operating system is Win - XP with service pack 3 and all the updates available have been applied.  Office 2007, Adobe reader, VLC player, AVG antivirus, browser firefox and 7-Zip are additional programs.  Well, other things such as Java, .net or other things that are needed for navigation are also installed.

    Since the time that this re - install windows has been done about a month before, whenever I start, the folder named "System 32" opens.  It does not show the content (they are hidden, as is highlighted by the post about that) - and, the additional message to say that you should not modify the contents of this folder is also there that.  Just click on the Red 'X' mark on this window, and it closes.  No problem.  But it's annoying to see that at every start up.

    Can someone advise please how to avoid this file opens at each startup?

Usually, icons glitter automactically office if I simply click on the desktop and don't stop until I click on the bar tasks. I clicked on the desktop after that viruses have been filed to see if that was the problem and flicker more.

  • Motherboard model H535 failure - the type of machine and the serial number invalid after replacement

    Does anyone know how to set the new Type of Machine and the serial number after a motherboard for a replacement model H535?

    The motherboard has recently failed on my model H535 (7 months after the expiration of the warranty - thanks, Lenovo). No local garage would agree to replace due to its nature of owners (thanks, Lenovo). I spent about four hours on the phone being bounced into back-and-forth between the many support staff (usually combined) Lenovo in sales, technical support, support of parts of IBM and various other departments (thanks, Lenovo), which one has suggested that I might have to try to find a motherboard on Ebay or Amazon for my computer in less-than-2-year-old. However, I finally get to someone at Lenovo, which has been able to sell a motherboard - for 2/3 of the cost of the original computer.

    Now, I installed the motherboard, and it works. However, during each boot, I get a POST with two beeps error which reads as follows:

    00CE error: Machine Type and serial number is INVALID

    Start of manufacturing sequence is taken if no selection is made

    I presume that the BIOS on the new motherboard must be programmed with the right Type of Machine and the serial number of my computer. I've read various things on the Internet about what to do, as updating the BIOS (I can not even find a BIOS under "downloads" of support for the H535 - thanks, Lenovo model), using WinPhlash (I apparently need one kind of BIOS ROM file to make it work, I don't have), getting a Lenovo hardware maintenance disk for my model (which apparently isn't available for other special people only me - thanks Lenovo), etc.

    The waiting time for Lenovo support are ridiculously long, and almost every customer support person is ridiculously uninformed on the difference between one of their computer models, and even less their motherboards (thanks, Lenovo). I am amazed and extremely frustrated. It shouldn't be rocket science.

    On a side note, I initially bought the computer from Staples with a credit card with extended warranty protection, which means I can get a refund for repair. Although the motherboard came with a packing list, no Bill has been provided by Lenovo, and I couldn't make them send one - or maybe even with success to explain what a Bill is (thanks, Lenovo).

    Well, Lenovo support was useless, and any alleged authorized suppliers were in fact still suppliers or could help with my problem. But I was finally able to fix it myself. Once I found the right piece of software, it has been fixed in less than a minute.

    My BIOS is by American Megatrends, and I discovered that they have a set of utilities that includes a called AMIDEDOS. It is intended for manufacturers to be able to change the strings of text stored in the BIOS for things like the manufacturer, product name, Version, number series, UUID, SKU number, family, etc., that is what I had to do. It is not intended for use by consumers, but it's there.

    When I ran the "DMIEdit.exe" program AMIDEDOS (clicked and ran as administrator from 10 Windows) and click on "System information" from the list, I saw "Product Name | STRING | Invalid' and ' serial number | STRING | NOT VALID ". The other fields appeared to have valid entries. I double-clicked on the fields valid and changed their "H535 model" and the serial number of my computer, respectively and then clicked on "Update all" at the top.

    Much to my surprise, he reported that he had successfully registered the new information. And, perhaps even more surprising is the fact that, when I rebooted, the double beep and the warning about the type of computer not valid and serial number have disappeared. In addition, the BIOS showed I had entered the new values, and the 'Manufacturing Boot Sequence' option (I understand can be much slower than a normal boot) had disappeared.

    Again, I'm a little surprised simple it was actually solve the problem once I got the correct software, or Lenovo part nor American Megatrends apparently offers to the owners, and it took hours and hours of research and research to understand. Use this information at your own risk, however, as playing with BIOS apparently can lead to problems not easily solved. That said, the modification of these text strings seems relatively safe.

    I will mention that I also ended up changing the method of "LEGACY" to "UEFI" boot in the BIOS after noticing that the selection.

  • 6602 synchronized with a different number of pulses per channel pulse generation

    Hello

    I try to use counters NI 6602 to generate 4 pulse trains that begin together but then proceed with each counter producing its own number of pulses (over mode) with its own frequency.

    It seems that each of the 4 channels of wiring at the same special teams each channel to produce the same number of pulses based, apparently, on which channel was recently with the specified NumPulses value so that it is the (implicit) VI DAQMx Timing.

    I tried to use separate tasks for each channel, but it seems that the there is much more uncertainty in the initial start of the train of impulses on each channel: unique task ~ 13us (coherent) delay between channels, a task for each channel (variable)... Although I'm not entirely confident in these temporal measures (estimates of the oscilloscope) +-15us. So it seems I'm sacrificing some synchronization to produce a different number of impulses for each channel?

    Is it true, or is there another way to match the beginning of the independent pulse trains.

  • 'For' loop with a different number of iterations. Second, the auto-indexation of the tables with different sizes is done. It can affect the performance of the Vi?

    Hello

    I have a loop 'for' which can take different number of iterations according to the number of measures that the user wants to do.

    Inside this loop, I'm auto-indexation four different 1 d arrays. This means that the size of the tables will be different in the different phases of the execution of the program (the size will equal the number of measures).

    My question is: the auto-indexation of the tables with different sizes will affect the performance of the program? I think it slows down my Vi...

    Thank you very much.

    My first thought is that the compiler to the LabVIEW actually removes the Matlab node because the outputs are not used.  Once you son upward, LabVIEW must then call Matlab and wait for it to run.  I know from experience, the call of Matlab to run the script is SLOW.  I also recommend to do the math in native LabVIEW.

  • EqualLogic GroupManager displays a different number of replicas, 2 outgoing and incoming 1.

    GroupManager displays a different number of replicas, 2 outgoing and incoming 1.  Is this a normal behavior?

    I raise this question to technical assistance from Dell.  They checked with their lab environment and confirmed the same behavior.  There is no functional cause whose status is displayed like this.  Two points, they said:

    (1) the number of the line leaving includes the history of replication.   It will show you an extra line in addition to the number configured in the replica set. (in my case, it's 1 (configured) + 1 (extra), so 2 total)

    (2) the number of the replica by entering the real number of replica set used for the function of data redundancy.

  • Whenever I start my computer, I get the blue screen of death. I'm not getting in what concerns the opening of session and there is no prompt to start in safe mode. Whenever I start my computer the error code and message on blue screen are different.

    I have Windows Vista Home Premium. I was on the internet when my computer screen turned blue and a message told me that a problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down. He said that I had tried to do something with memory executable not executable (I don't have a note of the code). He said as he poured out memory. Now, whenever I start, the blue screen of death gives me different messages and different error codes. Today, he says:

    IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

    and codes of error STOP: 0x0000000A (0x0000001B, 0 x 00000600, 0x810A90B0, 0x00000001).
