I a getting some UNUSUAL POST beeps upon startup. The PC POWERS on then stops for a second or two then gives one short then two long beeps. I do not know what version of BIOS i am running but none of the help pages on any type of BIOS match the beep codes I am getting. I am sure of what I hear, its is one short then two long beeps!! Can anybody help me?

P.S. The problem occured after adding RAM to the system. I replaced the ORIGINAL RAM and it still BEEPS!From Our Massive Archives...Been there, Done that! The beep code is not in the list! Thanks for the REPLY anyway!!OK i'll bite...
What MBoard ? ?It is a Compaq EVO D310m Mother BOARD. Pentium 4. Built in's for all cards, video, NIC, etc..ENTER IN BIOS SETUP>SELECT CMOS FEUTURE>WERE YOU CHOSE HALT ON OPTION>CHOSE NO ERROR >SAVE THESE SETTING AFTER RESTART PROBLEM SOLVE Sorry, I should have included that there is no video!That is a model # not a MBoard designation...Here  is a link to the Manual.All this tells me is that it is a system board for Intel with thermal grease. No actual specifications!Compaq 283983-001 Intel 845 Socket 478 mATX Motherboard w/Video, Audio & LAN http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/site/search/r4_0/jsp/search.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=96284&tx=beep%20codes

Use the search function....Ok, it finally did respond to me putting in only one of the original 128 Mb it will work in either slot and show me a post screen. But while it is loading the memory it stops at 4Mb. ??Try removing the CMOS battery from the MBoard for 20 minutes with the machine unplugged... Quote from: weshader on August 07, 2009, 08:06:41 AM
