Troubleshooting POST BIOS Beep Codes

Number of Beeps	Troubleshooting Action
1, 3 Reseat	the memory, or replace with known good modules.
6, 7	Fatal error indicating a serious problem with the system. Consult your system manufacturer. Before declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interference by a malfunctioning add-in card. Remove all expansion cards except the video adapter.If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer's technical support.If beep codes are not generated when all other expansion cards are absent, one of the add-in cards is causing the malfunction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will reveal the malfunctioning card.
8	If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter. If the video adapter is an integrated part of the system board, the board may be faulty.

4.5 TROUBLESHOOTING

Probable	Solution
1. No power to the system at all Power light don’t illuminate, fan inside power supply does not turn on.2. Indicator light on keyboard does not turn on.	1. Make sure power cable is securely plugged in.2. Replace cable.3. Contact technical support.
System inoperative. Keyboard lights are on, power indicator lights are lit, and hard drive is spinning.	Using even pressure on both ends of the DIMM, press down firmly until the module snaps into place.
System does not boot from hard disk drive, can be booted from optical drive.	1. Check cable running from disk to disk controller board. Make sure both ends are securely plugged in; check the drive type in the standard CMOS setup.2. Backing up the hard drive is extremely important. All hard disks are capable of breaking down at any time.
System only boots from optical drive. Hard disk can be read and applications can be used but booting from hard disk is impossible.	1. Back up data and applications files.2. Reformat the hard drive. Re-install applications and data using backup disks.
Screen message says “Invalid Configuration” or “CMOS Failure.”	Review system’s equipment. Make sure correct information is in setup.
Cannot boot system after installing second hard drive.	1. Set master/slave jumpers correctly.2. Run SETUP program and select correct drive types. Call the drive manufacturers for compatibility with other drives.
