Dell dimension 2400 motherboard beeps 2 times, what does it mean?

Hi,
Two beeps means your motherboard RAM having some problem.
If you have two RAM install .Try to remove one and keep another .
Start your system and chek , if still problem is not solve better to contact with tech person.


Thanks for using FixYa.

Go to the Dell website. Under Support, at the upper right corner, type in 'Dim 2400 1-1-2 beep codes. The first thing that comes up is 'Advanced Troubleshooting Dell Dimension 2400 Series". Half way down the next page under 'Beep Codes' you'll find Code 1-1-2, the cause of which is 'Microprocessor register failure.' This probably means you'll have to take your 'puter into the shop to get it repaired.

1. Remove All External Devices
2. Check the Computer's Power LED
3. If the power LED has not changed unplug the Power Cable From the Computer Disconnect All Hard Drive Power and Data Cables and power on the computer. If still no go.
4. Remove All PCI, PCI-E, and AGP Expansion Cards .
5. Remove All Memory From the Computer
6. Reseat the ATX and 12-Volt Connections . The ATX connector will be a 4 pin square connector connecting to the motherboard from the power supply and the 12-Volt Connection would be the biggest connector with a lot of colored wires.
7. If still no go.
8. Disconnect the Power Connection to the Chassis Fan
9. If the light still flashes then it could be a power supply or motherboard failure. Try a good know power supply first and if that does not fix the problem it is the motherboard. Also check the back of the tower for 4 lights lables ABCD or 1234.
Rate if useful.

1. Check your RAM speed

2. Install the old RAm and see if the problem persists

you have to follow the beeps very well to understand wat is the problem, each type of beep gives you sign for problem. so check if its one beep, two, or three, short or long, this makes very easy to you to define the problem.
Try to take out that parallel port if your pc works fine, this means this connector was not compitable to your board.

Best regards

two things
1 remove and reinstall your memory
2 install a new bios for your motherboard

You can get your systems exact specs on the Dell website under the support page. Hope this helps.

The 10/100 Integrated controller is the onboard network card

That basically mean yes it does have a network card built onto the motherboard.

If this helped please leave a Rating

Best of luck

check the CPU fan if it is working fine
clean the dust on cpu fan
try cleaning the ram
after trying all above then also if u face the same problem try checking the power supply connectors which connect your motherboard
and the last 2 options will be your motherboard or processor
