COMPUTER BEEP ERROR CODES

FOR AMI CODES
Step 5

One Beep: DRAM refresh failure
Two Beeps: Parity Error/parity circuit failure
Three Beeps: Base 64K memory failure
Four Beeps: System timer not operational
Five Beeps: Processor failure
Six Beeps: 8042 keyboard controller/gate A20
Seven Beeps: Processor exception interrupt error/virtual mode execution error
Eight Beeps: Display Memory read/write error
Nine Beeps: ROM Bios checksum error
Ten Beeps: CMOS shutdown register read/write error
Eleven Beeps: Cache memory bad--do not enable cache

No Beeps: If all you hear is silence, and there is no image on the screen, check the power supply, next inspect motherboard for loose components, next eliminate the possibility of interference by a failed or improper set up CARDS--remove all CARDS except video card at the least the system should power up and wait for drive to time out(sounds a drive makes during start-up) then insert the CARDS one at a time , if the system hangs then you'll know when the last interference occurred thereby solving the problem. Don't remove chips that are malfunctioning if you don't know what your doing at least these are tips what your PC's problem before going to a qualified technicians.
