the beeps are post during post the very first work is done by the ram,all the memory in the ram is first transferred to the hard disk,and remains active untill turned off. make sure that your RAM is securely seated test or replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive make sure the connections are secure including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA the ones that attach from your ((motherboard to hard drive)) make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty or just replace them they are probably old and faulty ? hope this helps

Test your PSU or replace it if your power supply units fan is not working your PSU is faulty

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error hope you find this helpfull

NOTE. The connectors from your desktop casing should and usually has labels on it and in a group.

Install suitable audio driver.

If you are absolutely sure that the ram works ok then I'd center in on the processor, a bad processor would have this exact type of response. The only things I've seen do this are a bad power supply or not powerful enough power supply, a bad processor, bad motherboard, or bad ram. Also, this may sound stupid, but make sure the power supply is correctly plugged in. If it requires the additional 4 volt smaller plugs make sure they are plugged. Take a look at the capacitors on the motherboard. It's possible you've "popped some caps" on the board. If this is the case you need a new motherboard. A sure fire way to detect a bad cap is to look at the tops of all the capacitors. If the tops are not flat then you may have a problem. They also can pop from the bottom and leak an orange gel. If any tops of the capacitors are rounded or protruding more than the others than you've found the source of your problem. A bad capacitor(s) would absolutely exibit the exact problems you're encountering. Bad capacitors can be as bad as causing the system to not boot, to as simple as making it impossible to reboot the system and forcing you to shut down. Take a look at this picture for a visual example of what I am refering to http://badcaps.net/images/caps/kt7/image004.png Note in the picture how the bottom of the far left capacitor looks puffed up and isn't sitting flush with the others? Also notice how all of them have puffed up rounded tops? You can really see the roundedness of the tops because they have slits in the tops. I've seen the tops ooze brown /orange/ white stuff too. It's something to definitely take a look at. I know what it feels like to be facing your problem. Oh, one last thing, make sure you aren't grounding the motherboard to the case. I've had that happen to. Try taking the board out of the case entirely and just trying to boot with the ram / processor plugged in. If you can't visually tell if the capacitors are ok if you take some close up pictures and e-mail them to my address at the bottom of my post I will examine them for you. If you have any other questions or information feel free to leave a comment back on this post and I will be sure to reply back to you :) I hope this has explained your question in detail. If I've helped you please don't forget to rate me. Peter

NOTE*
The following applies to motherboards such as an AsRock K7S41GX.
It does NOT apply to motherboards supporting the Intel Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors.

1) Motherboard diagram,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Motherboard_diagram.svg

A) CPU = Central Processing Unit. Another term is Microprocessor, or Processor for short.
The 'Brain' of the computer.

B) Front Side Bus. Also abbreviated as FSB.
The FSB is the 'Information Highway' between the Processor, and the Northbridge chip.

[Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.
Integrated Circuit,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit ]

C) The motherboard chipset is the Northbridge chip, and the Southbridge chip.

The Northbridge chip handles the faster capabilities of the computer.
It is named NORTHbridge, because on the orientation of the motherboard, it is to the North of the motherboard.

The Southbridge chip handles the slower capabilities of the computer.


D) The Northbridge handles the Processor, Ram Memory, and HIGH-speed graphics.
AGP and PCI Express are high speed graphic technologies.

A graphics card used in a PCI expansion slot, and Integrated Graphics are NOT high speed graphics.


E) The Southbridge handles Integrated Graphics, (OnBoard graphics. Same/same), and the PCI bus.
A graphics card inserted into a PCI expansion slot is one example of Southbridge support.

Any add-in card inserted into a PCI expansion slot, is in the PCI bus.
Therefore handled by the Southbridge chip.

The Southbridge chip also handles IDE (PATA), and SATA harddrives.
Handles USB ports, Ethernet port/s, audio, and the CMOS memory.

F) The Internal Bus is the 'Information Highway' between the Northbridge chip, and the Southbridge chip.

G) The LPC Bus is the 'Information Highway' between the Southbridge chip, and the Super I/O chipset.
The LPC Bus is also the 'Information Highway' between the Southbridge chip, and the BIOS chipset.

H) The Super I/O chipset handles,
Serial port
Parallel port
Floppy Disk Drive
Keyboard
Mouse


2) http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=K7S41GX

The AsRock K7S41GX has;

A) Socket A processor socket. Also known as Socket 462

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_A

Can use AMD processors that fit in a Socket A processor socket, and have either a 200MegaHertz, 266MHz, or 333MHz FSB.

Here is the CPU Support List,

http://www.asrock.com/mb/cpu.asp?Model=K7S41GX

Supports DDR Sdram ram memory at either 266MHz, or 333MHz.
PC2100 and PC2700, respectively.

Maximum TOTAL Amount of Ram Memory is 2GB
Maximum Amount for EACH ram memory slot is 1GB.
There are two ram memory slots.

Has an AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) graphics expansion slot, that supports AGP 4X , or AGP 8X graphics cards. (1.5 Volt)

Has two PCI expansion slots

Supports IDE (PATA) harddrive/s. (2 maximum)
Supports IDE optical drives. (CD or DVD, or burners for both)

The motherboard chipset is a SiS 741GX - Northbridge, and the SiS 963L - Southbridge

WAS IT WORKING BEFORE WHEN THERE WAS OTHER OS IN UR PC IF YES THEN TRY TO DOWNLOAD SOME DRIVER OR PATCH FROM THE ASROCK SITE WILL HELP

did u already install ur sound driver? if not here is the link that u can download it http://www.asrock.com/MB/download.asp?Model=K7S41GX&o=XP

yes, here is the full CPU support list http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-ASRock/K7S41GX.html

YOu will have to be more specific about what is not working.

Do you get any display on the monitor when you turn the power on?
Do you hear the hard disk sound?

Please post a comment to confirm what is working when you turn the on/off switch on.

read this manual you can find why it not shows <a href="http://download.asrock.com/manual/K7S41GX.pdf">http://download.asrock.com/manual/K7S41GX.pdf</a><br /><br /><br />

It sounds like you have a problem with your RAM. Remove the modules and insert them, testing one at a time. Before inserting them back into the motherboard, you can try cleaning the contacts with an eraser that erases ink from paper.

Also, you can try re-seating the cards connected to your motherboard, cleaning them first as indicated above.

Hi,

You may run the BIOS Setup when you start up the computer. Please press <F2> during the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) to enter the BIOS Setup Utility, otherwise, it will continue with its test routines.
To catch it you can try to press <F2> just from the very beginning and repeat pressing again and again.
If you wish to enter the BIOS Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing <Ctl> + <Alt> + <Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis.
You may also restart the system by turning the system off and then back on.
　
If you can't enter you should check the jumper settings on the motherboard if you changed some settings wrong using its user manual.
　
Hope this helps.

Waiting your comments.

Kind Regards.

This might sound silly but first thing to check is your CMOS battery and possibly change it out. I believe those take a CR2032.

theres a possibliy that the problem is with the monitor itself,check the monitors cable

First remove the Ram and boot the system without it. If you hear continuous two beeps, then the problem is with the Ram, you need to replace it. If nothing happens, then your cpu or your motherboard is gone. Good luck. Thanks for using FixYa.
