Well basically nothing loads up just too many retarded beeps that wont go off until i shut down the pc.
well i think it has something to do with RAM but i am not sure :S
Do you get video? If so then it could be a stuck key on the keyboard.
Do you get no video? If so then reseat the RAM.
Beep Codes: what they mean
American Megatrends (AMI BIOS)
1 beep: Memory refresh timer error - RAM problem.
2 beep: Parity error in base memory (first 64KB block) - RAM problem.
3 beep:Base memory read/write test error - RAM problem.
4 beep: Motherboard timer not operational - motherboard problem.
5 beeps: Processor error.
6 beeps: 8042 Gate A20 test error (cannot switch to protected mode) - motherboard (keyboard controller chip), keyboard or processor problem.
7 beeps: General exception error (processor exception interrups error) - processor or motherboard problem.
8 beeps: Display memory error (video adapter problem) - check/re-seat video card.
9 beeps: AMIBIOS ROM checksum error - System ROM BIOS problem, re-seat or replace chip, try re-flashing BIOS or swap motherboard.
10 beeps: CMOS shutdown register read/write error - motherboard problem.
11 beeps: Cache memory test failed - Check motherboard jumper settings, if possible replace RAM cache, possible CMOS, processor or motherboard problem.
