  • Each motherboard signals it with a sound signal in case of problems.
    How to read this signal and what does it mean?

    BIOS AWARD and PHOENIX AWARD

    1 short - all right.
    1 long - memory error
    1 long, 2 short - RAM parity error
    1 long 2 short - graphics card error
    1 long 3 short - video card memory error or lack thereof
    Repeated - RAM error
    Variable low and high - processor error
    While the computer is working - overheating of the processor

    BIOS AMI

    1 short - all right.
    2 short - RAM parity error
    3 short - error in the first 64KB of RAM
    4 short - error in the system clock or the first memory pin
    5 short - processor error
    6 short - keyboard controller error
    7 short - virtual processor mode error
    8 short - video card memory I / O error
    9 short - BIOS checksum error
    10 short - CMOS memory I / O register error
    11 short - processor L2 cache error
    1 long, 2 short - graphics card error
    1 long 3 short - RAM memory error
    1 long 8 short - problems with displaying the image by the graphics card
    Continuous sound - no RAM or video card

    BIOS PHOENIX (the word of explanation, e.g. 1-2-1 means that there was one beep then there was a pause two beeps in turn, then a pause and one beep)

    1-1-2 - CPU error or when low tone motherboard error
    1-1-3 / 4-2-2 - CMOS memory error
    1-1-4 - RAM parity error
    1-2-1 - system clock error
    1-2-2 - DMA controller error
    1-2-3 - DMA controller error
    1-3-1 - error related to refreshing RAM
    1-3-2 - RA memory test error
    1-3-3 - error in the first RAM pin
    1-3-4 - RAM parity error in the first 64 KB
    1-4-1 - memory address line error
    1-4-2 - RAM parity error
    1-4-3 / 1-4-4 - EISA bus error
    2-xx - RAM memory error
    3-1-1 - DMA controller error (Slave)
    3-1-2 - DMA controller error (Master)
    3-1-3 - interrupt controller error (Master)
    3-1-4 - interrupt controller error (Slave)
    3-2-4 - keyboard controller error
    3-3-1 - CMOS battery has run out
    3-3-2 - CMOS memory error
    3-3-4 - video card error
    3-4-1 - video card error
    4-2-1 - system clock error
    4-2-3 - no connection with the keyboard
    4-2-4 - CPU test aborted
    4-3-1 - error during RAM test
    4-3-3- system clock error
    4-3-4 - real time clock error
    4-4-1 - serial port error
    4-4-2 - parallel port error
    4-4-3 - processor error
