Beep - 1 beep Significance - Error of cooling of the RAM Possible Remedy - Reinstall the memory bars. If that persists, change them or modify adjustments of access in memory in the BIOS Beep - 2 short beeps Significance - Error of parity in the first 64 KB of the memory Beep - 3 short beeps Significance - Failure report in the first 64KB Beep - 4 short beeps Significance - Failure report in the first 64KB or Timer failure Possible Remedy - Defective mother board. Change your mother board Beep - 5 short beeps Significance - Error of processor Possible Remedy - Reintegrate the processor Beep - 6 short beeps Significance - Failure of keyboard (circuit 8042) or GateA20 Possible Remedy - Change the keyboard or the chip controller keyboard Beep - 7 short beeps Significance - Error of virtual mode Possible Remedy - Defective mother board. Change the mother board Beep - 8 short beeps Significance - The video controller is missing or RAM is defective Possible Remedy - Reintegrate the graphics adapter or its memory extension. If that persists, changes graphics adapter or remove the memory of the adapter if you added some. Beep - 9 short beeps Significance - Error of the ROM of the BIOS Possible Remedy - Reintegrate circuit DIP of the BIOS Beep - 10 short beeps Significance - Error of access to memory CMOS Possible Remedy - Defective mother board. Change mother board Beep - 11 short beeps Significance - Error of the external hiding place storage Level2 Possible Remedy - Reintegrate the memory correctly hiding place

Beep - 1 beep long + 2 short beeps Significance - Video error Possible Remedy - Reintegrate graphics adapter or its memory of extension. If that persists change graphics board. Beep - 1 long beep + 3 short beeps Significance - Video error Possible Remedy - Reintegrate graphics adapter or its memory of extension. If that persists change graphics board.

Beep - 1-2-2-3 Significance - Erroneous Checksum BIOS Possible Remedy - Change the pile of the BIOS Beep - 1-3-1-1 Significance - Cooling DRAM Possible Remedy - Put the adjustments of the BIOS on FAIL Beep - 1-3-1-3 Significance - Controller keyboard Possible Remedy - Change the keyboard Beep - 1-3-4-1 Significance - Address first 512KB of DRAM Beep - 1-3-4-3 Significance - data of first 512KB of DRAM

Beep - 1 beep runs Significance - System boot OK Beep - 2 short beeps Significance - CMOS setting error Beep - 1 long beep + 1 short beep Significance - DRAM error Beep - 1 long beep + 2 short beeps Significance - Display card gold monitor connection error Beep - 1 long beep + 3 short beeps Significance - Keyboard error Beep - 1 long beep + 9 short beeps Significance - ROM error Beep - Long beep continuous Significance - Fine DRAM did not seat Beep - Beep short continuous Significance - Power supply error Error messages to starting Beep - CMOS CHECKSUM FAILURE

Significance - Problem with battery, replace it Beep - BIOS ROM CHECKSUM Error System HALTED Significance - Error in the BIOS. Replace the chip Beep - KB/INTERFACE ERROR Significance - The keyboard is damaged or perhaps badly connected Beep - FDD CONTROLLER FAILURE Significance - Error of the controller of disk drive Possible Remedy - Check if the cable which connects it to mother board is connected properly. If the problem persists change the controller Beep - HDD CONTROLLER FAILURE Significance - The hard disk is damaged or perhaps badly connected Beep - MEMORY ERROR DURING MEMORY TEST Possible Remedy - Check memory bars are installed correctly Beep - CMOS SYSTEM OPTIONS NOT SET RUN SETUP UTILITY Significance - No parameters is defined in the setup BIOS Possible Remedy - Launch the BIOS and enter the parameters Beep - CMOS MEMORY SIZE MISMATCH Significance - Declared memory steps physically installed Beep - UNABLE TO INITIALIZE HARDWARE DRIVE (STANDARD DRIVE?) Significance - In this case the hard disk drive was not defined or badly was it Beep - KEYBOARD IS LOCKED Significance - The keyboard is having problems Possible Remedy - Unbolt it by putting the key in the lock present on the frontage of the majority of the PC and turn-there. To finish, start again the PC or press on a key Beep - "8042 Gate-A20 Error Significance - The controller of the keyboard (8042) does not function Possible Remedy - Often, the controller quite simply left his support test reintegrate correctly. If not change it. Beep - "CH-2Timer error" Significance - The second timer has a problem Possible Remedy - Conflict caused by a peripheral Beep - "Mask memory bad, C not enable mask!" Significance - Lapse of the memory hiding place

Beep - "Address line shorts" Significance - Logical problem in the decoding of an address location. It can be a question of a magnetic disturbance. Possible Remedy - Shut down and turn on the pc 30 seconds later Beep - "On board parity error" Significance - Error of parity in the memory of the mother board Possible Remedy - Make an antiviral checking Beep - "drunk DMA time out" Significance - A peripheral monopolized the signals of the bus for one length of time higher than the allocated duration (7.8 ms). That generally means that the accused peripheral is defective Possible Remedy - Replace the peripheral which poses problem Beep - No ROM BASIC Significance - Heritage of IBM PC, this message indicates that no unit of BOOT is defined in the setup BIOS __________________
