BIOS Beeps
The definitions of Bios error beep tones

BIOS Beeps - The definitions of Bios error beep tones

Troubleshooting with BIOS-Beep tones

If your PC hangs and gives you some nice beeps, you can determine the erroneous
hardware:
AMI
AWARD
IBM
MACINTOSH
PHOENIX

Identify hardware errors with unknown beep tones

If you can't find your beep code in our list, you can use the following method to identify the defective
hardware:

1. Remove RAM memory, Graphics card, other Plug-in cards, and Drive cables from your
mainboard.
Only CPU + Fan + Power cable are installed on the mainboard.
2. Power on the PC, and listen to the beeps:
 ◦ no beeps => Power supply, CPU, mainboard or BIOS is most likely defective.
◦ some beeps => remember the beeps and next step.

3. Power off the PC, and insert the RAM memory.

4. Power on the PC, and listen to the beeps:
◦ no beeps => RAM incorrectly installed.
◦ same beeps as before => RAM is most likely defective.
◦ beeps have changed => next step.

5. Power off the PC, and insert the Graphics card.

6. Power on the PC:
◦ some beeps => Graphics card is most likely defective.
◦ blank screen =>Graphics card is most likely defective.

Check the defective hardware in another PC to make sure that you have identified the right one!
