Continuous beep on compaq presario s3200nx

When turn on the computer theres a continuous beep and nothing showing up on the monitor when is on, what is the problem? and How can I turn off the continuous beeping noise?

  • Anonymous Apr 12, 2009

    I have the same problem on my S3200nx. When I turn it on all is does is beep continually. About every second it will do a single beep and nothing else. I don't know what else to try, I have already changes out the cmos battery and reset the default bios and reloaded the original software. It ran for about an hour and then shut down now it will do nothing but beep.

I had the same problem, but then cleaned my computer with pressurized air and it now works. Try that and see if it works.

Computer beeps

If you try to power on your computer and nothing happens but a bunch of beeps there is something you can do. The beeps actually mean something. To make sure you can hear the beeps check in the bios options. If there is an option for a silent boot you won't hear any beeps. If you hear one beep every time your computer starts then you don't have to worry about this.

If you want to check this setting refer to my other tip on how to enter bios and change boot settings.

If you try to boot your computer and nothing shows up on your monitor do these steps first.
1-Check all your cables in the back of the computer.
2-check your power source and power cord to the monitor
3-try another monitor if possible
4-If on a power bar try to turn off the power bar and reset the breaker

If you try to boot your computer and nothing happens and you hear beeps look at this website. The beeps you hear are actually telling you what is wrong. Look at the website by clocking on the link below and click on the computer beep codes link. If you want to scroll down past the link it will show you bios codes to enter the bios in your computer

Need new vid card

The Compaq s3200nx comes with integrated video; Via KM266 graphics. It has:
Available slotsTwo PCI
AGP4x 1.5v
AGP is for Video but nothing else and it must be 4v. PCI is for all types of cards including Video.

You can get a PCI Video card with more memory on it than your current video.
You must verify your monitor connection. Is it VGA? or DVI? Make sure the card has the right type of connection.

Computer Power comes on, shows compaq first screen, then everything stops. press esc, F10 or F12 and nothing happens. just continues to show the compaq screen. Any suggestions?

Try unplugging everything you can from the computer. Only leave keyboard, monitor, and power cables connected. Then try to turn on again. If computer boots now, then start adding peripherals back one at a time, rebooting each time. when you get the hang, there is your suspect peripheral.

Also, is the monitor itself having issues, or is it the computer? Look at the power light on the monitor, is it staying green, or is turning back to same color when it is in standby state?

Bad motherboard for Compaq S3200NX

Sorry to say but Compaq/HP uses proprietary motherboards which means without doing modifications to your case you will have to buy a board specific for your system from Compaq. Hope this helps.

Compaq presario sr2109 - beeping sound/wont turn on

Actually if you hear this intermittent sound every two seconds you must check out the RAM of you laptop. If you are a bit technical you can take out the ram cleans its contact with a fibre pencil. Re put it back and restart your pc, if it continues to beep just buy another brand new strip of ram.

If this solution is ok please give weight to my solution, thanks alot
