SOURCE: Lenovo R61 beeps four times and according to

assuming that u r a professional, the bios is not flashed in a wrong way n the ram(s) r ok..
check cmos battery & i/o cables/connectors r properly inserted..clean the teeth of ram(s) using a rubber to remove carbon coating n isopropyl alcohol, n resit it..
..well itz always better to hv a supervision of service center as they r sparsely available at the local market, we usually donot replace the system board as whole but try to repair using scraps n spares..
however, probably system board can ordered online: http://www.thinkpadmedic.com/listing.asp?PL=ThinkPad&CL=SB

SOURCE: Won't start up; only beeps.

Well, appears that either the memory card or the Video graphics card is bad. When you hit the power button do any lights show up on the control panel? How many beeps do you hear. Does it continue to beep or just once?
You can email me at dev one zero nine w at yahoo. I will be glad to put an end to your problem.

SOURCE: Hi, I turn on my t61p and it gives a long the two

AWARD BIOS beep codes
1 Long, then 2 Short Beeps: Video error

Explanation: The BIOS is unable to access the video system in order to write any error messages to the screen.

Diagnosis: This is usually caused by a problem with the video card, or the memory on the video card. It can also be a motherboard issue.

Do check your RAM(memory) too. If your RAM is overheating (ie. faulty) you can get this error too.

Hope it helps.

SOURCE: Lenovo R52 think pad makes 4 beeps after computer has been on awhile. Once it starts beeping there is a small break and then it beeps again 4X.

Four cycles of four short beepsand a blank screen.Problem:----> System board (security chip)
Do you still have warranty?
Try pulling out memory sticks and putting them back in.. here is something I found. Might help.

For reseating instructions (for my T42p), I used:

X58 pro e hard to cold start

Three long beeps may signify a keyboard error, and 3 short may refer to memory error. These are best guesses, because MSI uses several BIOS manufactures. Test your RAM one chip at a time to help isolate bad dimm.

My computer won't boot up, it will beep three times (does not repeat). According to the "Intel Destop Board D975XBX2" Manuel it says the memory is bad, So I swapped it out but I am still...

Hi,
The one that told about memory is bad, he is correct, that beeping sound from your board means memory deficiency.
Best way is to put one memory at a time just to test which memory card is defective. If both is defective, try to put a new one.
Upon booting up, the memory can be seen.
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks for using FixYa!

I have mb-msi2000-815e pro ver1, it is constantly beeping. change the memories,agp,, but it still continues.what could be wrong/

1.Your first step is to look at the information about the meaning of the beeping codes. Beep codes are important and useful tools when troubleshooting booting issues. When you turn on your computer system, it is called POST (Power On Self Test).

2.No beep is usually a power problem that can be related to the power supply, motherboard or both. Always check your battery power before thinking there is a bigger problem.

3.One beep is a normal POST. That means everything is fine.

Two, Three, or Four short beeps are normally about the memory of the machine. If there is a problem with one of your memory chips you should get beeps of different combinations in this area. If you get two or three short beeps, one or both of your memory chips could be in trouble.

4.Five beeps point toward motherboard or CPU problems. Make sure your memory and video card are seated properly. Try removing them and putting them back in, only if you are comfortable with computers.

Six, seven and eight beeps.


Eight beeps indicate problems with your video card. Six or Seven are CPU, or a bad chip on the motherboard.


Nine beeps mean the BIOS is bad. Replace the motherboard.

Ten beeps means the problem is in the CMOS. All chips need to be replaced.

5.Eleven beeps are related in the cache of the mother board and this means that the motherboard needs replaced.

One long and three short beeps mean that it is related to a loose memory chip. Try reseating it.

One long and eight short beeps means that the video cards needs reseated.

6.I hope that this list of beep codes will help settle the panic you feel when your computer is sick. If all fails, Then you inform me

At start up, before windows loads, a consistent series of annoying beeping occurs....

If they're occurring right as you turn the computer on, it's your Power On Self Test (aka POST) letting you know. Since I can't be more specific, here's a synopsis of POST beeps:

One single beep followed by three, four, or five beeps -- System-board problems, possibly with DMA, CMOS setup chip, timer, or system bus. The computer usually won't boot when this is the problem.

Two beeps -- The POST numeric code is displayed on the monitor, usually nothing to be concerned about, but you might google the code on another computer and see what you get.

Two beeps followed be three, four, or five beeps -- First 64K of RAM has errors. Solution is to replace RAM.

Three beeps followed by three, four, or five beeps -- Keyboard controller failed or video controller failed. Either you won't be able to see or type with this error.

Four beeps followed by three, four, or five beeps -- Problem with serial or parallel ports, system timer, or time of day. Check your BIOS settings (usually F2 at start up) to make sure everything is correct.

Continuous beeps - problem with power supply. Probably won't do much with this error. At the very best, your computer will boot and run very, very slowly.

Hope that helped.

Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 short beep codes on cold boot. Tried reseating RAM, didn't help. system runs fine after beeping stops

Using the manual for the Gigabyte GA-945P-S3 MB. Go to page 71 & you'll see bios beep codes for your board: AWARD BIOS Beep Codes 1 short: System boots successfully 2 short: CMOS setting error 1 long 1 short: DRAM or M/B error 1 long 2 short: Monitor or display card error 1 long 3 short: Keyboard error 1 long 9 short: BIOS ROM error Continuous long beeps: DRAM error Continuous short beeps: Power error As you can see there isn't a code for three short beeps. When you boot your system try to pause your boot up screen. See if the bios is reporting the correct total of memory in your system. Bios codes from the link below. http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm#05 3 beeps for the AMI bios code reports Base 64K RAM failure. You can test your memory. Go to memtest.org Scroll down the site to just under the three screen shots. Download Memtest86+ V2.11 You have a choice in making a bootable floppy disk or a bootable CD-ROM disk. Once completed you boot your system to the testing program. Memtest will check your system memory. This should help. Thanks for using FixYa! Mike
