Table 71: Troubleshooting BIOS Beep Codes

 

 

Number of Beeps

Troubleshooting Action

1, 2 or 3

Reseat the memory, or replace with known good modules.

 

 

4-7, 9-11

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 the beep codes are generated even when all other expansion cards are absent, the

 

motherboard has a serious problem. Consult your system manufacturer.

 

If the 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 add-in 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.
