Jelly Bean · 03-31-2009

Just butting in Merlin.

Continouse beeps usaly mean,CPU,RAM or GPU.

Try resitting heatsink on your CPU.

Makes sure Ram is seated in its slot correctly.

Try entering BIOS and load fail safe and defaults.

If yo trust yourself enough open the case and make sure your heatsink and fan are seated properly..

It is either your cpu is bad or your Ram depending on what motherboard you have!

Take out all memory except one stick and try it. Reseat that stick before you do and make sure it clicks down in and the little clips on the side of the chip go straight up.

Here are the beep codes for your board

PCGuide - TSX - BIOS Beep Codes - Award BIOS

No problem JellyBean.. But already suggested all that lol

Ok lets check lets see if we can rule out/in a RAM/Memory issue.

DownloadMemtest86 and follow the instructions on "How To".

Note: If you do not have a floppy drive you can use a CD/USB stick,scroll down the attached links and you will notice the diffrent downloads.

Test each RAM stick individualy before running memtest.

We need to get him to his BIOS first JellyBean as nothing shows up on his monitor!

So, are you getting more than one beep now?
See if you can get a graphics card and try it in there.

BIOS reset jumper may help.

Or even borrow a GPU from another computer or if a friend has got a spare just to test.

just to add to JellyBean if your board does not have a jumper unplug your box and just take out the cmos battery (round silver battery on your board) for a good 30 seconds and put it back in.. This will reset everything in your BIOS..SO if it posts you will have to redo clock settings and other settings as well
