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 y our system manufacturer. Bef ore declaring the motherboard beyond all hope, eliminate the possibility of interf erence by a malf unctioning add-in card. Remov e all expansion cards except thev ideo adapter. • If beep codes are generated when all other expansion cards are absent, consult y our 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 malf unction. Insert the cards back into the system one at a time until the problem happens again. This will rev eal the malf unctioning card.

8 / If the system video adapter is an add-in card, replace or reseat the video adapter. If thev ideo adapter is an integrated part of the sy stem board, the board may be faulty.

"In my experience, 99% of the time beep codes mean CPU or Memory.

The first thing I would always you do is to reseat the memory, if no change, take out all pci / addon cards, then try again. If still nothing, check the CPU is ok."
