Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

why not fix it?

 

[Fireface]

Because I tried everything and doesn't work. And I can't buy different PSU or RAM or whatever because I'm out of y hometown to another city for college.

So, I dont have the economical help to buy new hardware.

Nor the CMOS reset worked neither reseating everything..

I'm officially pissed off by a machine that isn't working suddenly a morning I tried to start it up. This is so bad.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

not sure I understand. Why cant you buy a psu or ram where you are now? you dont have to buy it where your from.

By the way, how can I know if my BIOS is IBM or AWARD or w/e?? I got Asus p5b...maybe Asus using a standard bios you may know and tell me.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

usually when you start the pc it will say ami bios are whatever at the top of the screen.

Another thing.. Each part of the hardware on the MOBO has it's own beep?? Or there's a beeper generally that beeps for any problem? I mean graphic card, ram, hard drive use 1 beeper in the MOBO or 3 for each part. Because in my case the beeps coming out from the hard drives even if they aren't wired...

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

the beeps are bios beep codes which you can check here

Bios - BIOS Central

Well I know that. But with some more investigation people are saying that someone waited for the beeps and the keyboard to light up and he just pressed ctrl+alt+del and his PC restarted. Someone changed his MOBO and that worked. Another guy changed the graphic card and that worked. But those peeps the pc died while it was working. In my case I shut it down and the next day had the beeps. I don't even have a reason to say "that thing destroyed my pc". Why those machines are so f*cked up??

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

well most issues caused are basically down to human error for example:- using low quality parts like the psu for instance whilst it may seem economical at the time it could end up being very expensive, using low quality ram again this can cause all sorts of issues, not cleaning dust out of the system can cause overheating therefore damage. Not grounding yourself whilst working inside the pc can cause ESD and destroy components etc etc

 

[Fireface]

Yes, my pc had different mini issues though I could be happy if it was working and suddenly shutted down and never work than this thing happening now. I tried everything and nothing works out until I finish my exams in college and buy some new hardware. So there's no solution, just replacing the hardware. Anyway, thanks all for the replies and if I have any other question I may ask it here.

Thanks, everyone.

I fixed it. It was a VRAM problem as my bios is AMI. So I changed video card and it's ok.

Re: 1 long beep 3 short problem.

what video card you need to have upgraded the psu to run it or you will be losing another card

Well I got a fail ati Radeon hd 5450. That's not as good as my 9800GT but still I bought it 43 euros just to have a pc. I'm gonna have an upgrade soon so it's ok.
