I just put together a new computer and I get the 8 beeps at the beginning of start up, no video or audio. I know what the beeps mean. I have TRIED removing and replacing the ram, removing and replacing the cpu with the FAN, and and removing the battery clearing the memory (the pins). It still does the same thing at start up and I do not know where to go from here. Thanks for your help.Do you have a floppy drive in that computer? If so disconnect it and see if you can boot. If the 8 beeps occurs pre "post" it is usually due to a faulty floppy disk controller. If it occurs after "post" it is usually associated with an issue related to a "video display memory error'" truenorthSorry I am not sure what a floppy disk inside the computer is.

Thank you for your help.Well according to the specs on your computer there is no floppy drive. This is not a problem as many new computers do not have them. However it does eliminate that as the POSSIBLE issue for your 8 beeps. Could you been more precise as to what actually is the point at which the computer advances to at startup when the beeps occur. Detail EVERYTHING that you observe or hear from the moment you depress the "on" button on the tower. truenorthBeep codes are vendor specific.

MSI PCs from what I can tell use either an AMI BIOS or a PHOENIX, but the phoenix BIOS'es use a series of beep code "sets" (3 beeps, 2 beeps, 1 long beep, etc). the AMI BIOS's 8-beep code is "8 beeps - Display memory read/write failure - bad video card or memory"
