Boot up problems...

What does two long beeps mean during boot up?

Rampage · 07-15-2005, 02:55 PM

Depends on the motherboard or BIOS. Do you know which brand?

Asus K8n4-e motherboard.

I can't find a listing for just 2 long beeps with either the Phoenix or Award BIOS code (standard on ASUS)...

usually long beeps are something crucial not plugged in... mem, vid, cpu, (rare the mobo will start without cpu bu a bad VR might do it.....

Well at least to me it sounds like 2 long beeps. Just out of curiosity how long should a long beep be?

Also the GF/X-GF (have not decided) says there is an error message when it happens but I have not seen it yet.

Last thing that might help is that this is an intermittant issue. Normally it boots just fine, even then she does not turn it off so it gets rebooted rarely as well.

All the beep-tables for Phoenix and Award I found has beeps in sets of 3, as I recall:

The Phoenix page is erroring right now, but it has sequences like 1-2-1 as so forth.
